Simple Workshop for Teacher Professional Development, The Song

Many thanks to Pati Terry for the marvelous words to this song, to Simple K12’s very own singing cowboy, Lonesome Lee Lewis, and to the always spectacular SimpleK12 Chorus.

And, a special tip-o-the hat to Elizabeth Farmer, cinematographer first class, for pulling this all together.

Hi Rosie!
Here are the lyrics to Pati's song:

I was wonderin’ how to teach ‘em when they came
I was wonderin’ how to reach ‘em, help them gain
I was wonderin how I’d teach ‘em, I was wonderin’ how I’d reach ‘em,
I was wonderin’ how I’d teach ‘em when they came.

They’ve signed up for integration, tech and tools
They’ll be learning how to work in K-12 schools
I’m in teacher preparation, but I still have hesitation
How to get them to discover these tech jewels.

Yes it’s at the college level that I dwell
Where my students strive to learn their content well
But with multimedia objects, they could understand their projects
And enhance their application, oh do tell!

I could generate some footage, that is true
On the types of integration that we do
But I’d also have them try it, demonstrate and even tie it
To the units they develop and debut

I was wonderin’ how to teach ‘em when they came
I was wonderin’ how to reach ‘em, help them gain
Now I think that I might catch ‘em, with a tool that’s sure to snatch ‘em
And prepare them for the future, that’s my aim!
