My TechQuest project has been going quite well, overall. I haven't been able to get some areas completed as quickly as I would have liked to, but other areas have been going faster than I thought they would. If I were to do this again in the future, I think I would have a better idea of how long each task would take, and what order I needed to get each thing completed. Many teachers try to get organized in their classrooms, and there are a lot of books on how to make them organized. However, my classroom is a bit different than the "typical" classroom. One of the reasons I wanted to do this TechQuest project was so that I could organize and start a curriculum for special education teachers. There are so few special education teachers for students with emotional impairments compared to general education teachers. I hoped that by completing this project, more teachers will be able to have a resource to use in their classroom for a curriculum and organization tool.
In years to come, I plan (as all teachers do) to change, tweak, and update my lessons and curriculum. This will be much easier now that I have a baseline curriculum to get me started in my classroom. I plan to add more lessons and activities to this curriculum, and continue to update my organization tools. When I update my lessons in the future, I am now familiar with getting them into the computer and finding them online. I am also familiar with updating my schedules and organization tools that I have on my computer. It is always easier when you have a starting point to push off from.
