Changes to Picture

This week has been a little crazy for me. First off, my sister and brother-in-law from Texas had been visiting my parents, younger sister, and I here in Ohio. It was nice to have them here for a while. I have been visiting Ohio for almost a month now and it has been difficult balancing school and visiting with family and friends. I also found out this past week, that I will now be teaching AP Physics this coming year which now gives me three different preps for this coming year. I will be teaching grade level physics, PreAP Physics, and AP Physics. It will be the first time I have taught this class and the first time I have had three preps. I am pretty nervous about it.

I am heading back to Houston on Tuesday and it will take me two days to get back home. I will hopefully make it to Memphis on Tuesday night which is about the halfway point on my 20hour drive back home. Once I get there, I plan to start working on prepping for this new class and trying to figure out how to start incorporating technology into my class. I really want to do this so hopefully I can come up with a few ideas and start working on them for August.

Wordle Crutcher

Hi everyone, I am April Crutcher and am 27 years old and teach Physics at Stratford High School in Houston, Texas. I have taught Physics for 4 years and during two of those I also taught PreAP Physics. I received my bachelor's degree in AYA Chemistry/Physics Education from Bowling Green State University in 2010 and am currently working on my master's degree in Curriculum Writing and Instruction through BGSU's online program and plan to graduate in August 2014. I am currently planning my wedding which will be June 27, 2015.

By completing this blog, and this class, I hope to gain a better understanding of technology and ways to incorporate it into my classroom. I have a decent understanding of technology but I would like to learn more and most importantly to try to make my classroom more technologically advanced.
