This infographic from graphite explains the need for Ed Tech in our district. We have teachers who want to teach with it, and we have students who want to learn with it. We're also taking care of those traditional barriers to implementing educational technology - time, money, and training. By adding my position, the district is giving back time and training to our staff. I'm excited about helping teachers and supporting them in this way. So Teachers, let me help you! Let me know the concept you're going to teach and the context of your classroom, and I'll find great resources tailored to your and your students' needs! Just send me an email, and I'll make it happen!
It's my first week in Centralia, and good things are happening. I've seen the classroom that I'll be using as our Education with Technology training space, and it's going to be great for our training needs. I'm hanging out in the Board Offices now until the training space is finished, but when it's all done, you'll be able to find me in room 20 at CBMS.
Other must-dos - I'm in the process of creating the website, and I've established our social media presence. I'll start beefing those up in the coming weeks. Other projects include developing the Leadership Team Technology Academy and starting the 1-to-1 program development. It's going to be a busy first month! |
