Productivity Tools

As an Instructional Technology Trainer, we spend time working with not only teachers but school leaders too. We want to build the capacity of our school leaders, especially in terms of technology..it is 2018! Many of the leaders I work with struggle with productivity and efficiency. To help bring value, I share one or two tips every time I visit their buildings. 

I started compiling these tips and tools on one page this semester. HERE are a few tools I have shared in 2018 with school leaders.

Which tips and tools do you share with school leaders?

Overcoming the Ed-Tech "Techie" Stigma

I am NOT a techie! You do not want me to fix or network anything! However, this is the perception in my district of my department. We have worked hard over the last few years to change perceptions, but as the saying goes, "Perception is reality."

Our title has the words education and technology in it. This does not mean we are the IT department, who services computers, iPads, etc. We are just awesome teachers who love to innovate the learning space or classroom.

Innovate learning, what does that mean? It means we do not like to stay in our comfort zones. It means we embrace failure. We fail often and we fail fast. 

So be brave, innovate your instruction and embrace failure! Why not?
