Ahh! Success:)
Last week and this week, I have worked with local school technology coordinators to begin plans for the fall professional development related to increasing technology integration in classrooms. The title of the PD is Tech Connects. I have been put in charge of coordinating all middle school professional development. This involves determining sessions needed for middle school teachers, administrators and other professionals. Also, I must work through the logistics of 250 adults in PD sessions for 6 hours. Talk about sink or swim...
I'm working with a variety of professionals here at the technology department and have already learned a lot of the nuts and bolts that I, as a classroom teacher, am never privy to, such as the eRate policies and coordinating technology with curriculum needs (never an easy thing apparently from an administrative view). These are things that I've learned I will come into contact with in classes, but am so glad that I'm getting the work experience to go with it.
Working around others' summer vacations is a difficulty that I knew I would face, but it's still frustrating. Looking forward to next week when most everyone will be back in town and we can get some things done! Until then...
