Technology Champions

I have always had the utmost respect for educators.  Even when I was in school myself, teachers, administrators, and coaches, were people I looked up to.  People who taught me much more than than what was in the lesson plans.  I still have the same view of educators today.  In our District, we have a team of teachers whose passion for teaching and willingness to work outside their comfort zone continues to inspire me.

Today we kicked off our new Technology Champion program.  This was based on a concept shared by a variety of Texas K-12 schools where sharing is a common occurrence.  (A special thanks goes to Victor Valdez of Pflugerville ISD)

During the course of our first meeting, I learned so much from this talented group of ladies. Throughout the day we discussed a variety of applications and how they aligned with District initiatives.  We worked through technology issues, shared ideas for technology integration and cohort teams, and had a quick Twitter chat for fun.  

I am looking forward to an awesome year with our Tech Champions.

Update: March, 2014 - Our Technology Champions were recognized at our March Board meeting and demonstrated technology integration in the classroom to those in attendance.  Their presentations were amazing, we appreciate these teachers and their dedication to our students.
