Giddy Up!

Today I was welcomed into this position by dozens of people from a variety of places within the walls of Neuqua Valley and beyond. Thank you for inspiring me! The requests for a supporting coach (me) from a head coach (you) ranged from:

• Social Workers Office : support data collection for students in need
• Special Education Office : create a way for TEAM teachers and students to easily access course information in real time. 
• Social Studies Teacher : support creating a course website to extend the classroom experience to the digital world. 
• Other teachers simply volunteered their rooms to be "victims" of learning throughout this process... I RESPECT IT, I NEED IT, I LOVE IT!

I also realized how many of us are less than excited about personally evaluating our own level of teaching to the digital society, the digital native student and this globally connected world. In my experience, most of us are already doing VERY WELL based on the criteria provided by ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) for teachers. In the simple graphic below I plan to add links that will prove and support the HOW we can do WHAT we do for our students and each other as colleagues.

Keep it up! (for the record I trimmed this down to what I believed to be the most relevant for teachers in the classroom... like us).
