I came to this site through a blog posted on Tech & Learning web site. I see many familiar names and faces here from Twitter where I am OCTechguy.
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…
When I was hired, my job description was to work in two elementary school buildings; a K - 2 school and a 2 - 4 school (second grade is split in half in my district). My job description was in coaching, lesson development, curriculum design, tech. p…
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…

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…
I am in year three of a newly created tech integrator position. I started out covering both the high school and middle school, but after a year it was determined that this was more than one person could cover efficiently. Now we have a tech integrat…
My job is called Technology Instructional Partner and it is very similar to what Alice does. In this district it has changed from a Campus Technology Coordinator that focused on Technology to a job that focuses on Instruction. In my elementary schoo…
Great conversation here.
Below are some Tips that we receive at parent conference time:

“It is wonderful to have the opportunity to speak with you for five to eight minutes about ______’s work so far this…
Wow, this is a great topic and thread of conversation. I sometimes would have parents who had not experienced pleasant school situations, but with a calm voice, an agenda and showing off their student's work, most often ended up with positive meetin…
