It is exciting to be back among educators! There is so much to learn in every new school, but what a fun way to discover the physical plant via a scavenger hunt. Grouped with two teachers 20 years younger, I was excited to use my twitter account. (my children would be mortified!) We learned to send a tweet from my iPhone, and we even learned how to send photos. Like most of technology, it seemed a little overwhelming at first, but after a few tweets, we were all experienced pros. We discussed ways we could use this in a class, and also how to keep us with other folks in our discipline who could share their great ideas.
We were not inundated with too much information this first day, and we have been able to touch on technology, courses, staff without feeling overwhelmed. It is fun to start again at a new school, and I especially love being among new teachers who are equally excited about the start of a new school year.
Luckily, not too worried yet, let's see how we feel at the end of the week.
Sarah,

Welcome to FHS! Love your enthusiasm about the day. Who knows, maybe you will end up teaching your children a thing or two about Twitter! ;) Looking forward to working with you this year.
