Resistance is Futile 3 Replies

I'm halfway through the book and thought I'd get some reflections down... It's a "topsy-turvy" tale so far: w1n5t0n is "up" one minute (and you think: "This kid's going to actually beat the DHS") an…

Eric, it is tough when no matter what you say, you still get the trouble tickets. That happens here in WOCSD too. We all try to help out, but really the tech people who can take care of the problem quickly need to be the ones. Otherwise, the problem…

I got to make my own schedule. So, I only have one office day. It is usually really long, but also important that I am visible in the schools. Then I spend certain days in certain schools. I find the responsive teachers ask me to co-teach, so I capi…

Fantastic and emotionally provocative work! It is hard to encourage teachers to change when, for so long they have been working one way and it has been enough! Change can be stressful but fom this change and stress can come great things. We just hav…

Janice Friesen replied to Eric Lawson's discussion 'Tech Integrators Job Description'
Eric, Your situation sounds familiar even though I am in an Elementary School. In our district they have become really serious about having us in an instructional position rather than a tech support position. We have a Work Order system online and…

Great conversation! I am part tech integrator and part tech coordinator, so they call me a Collaborative Content Coach for Technology K-12, 3 buildings. Most of the time I support teachers and their projects by helping them embed technology into the…
