Very Proud

This is not going to be a very informational post to start out with, I just want to brag on all of my great Tri-Creek School Corporation teachers who have embarked in our Technology PD program.

As a small outline for everyone outside of TCSC who is reading this, I am the Technology Integration Specialist for our district.  Jay Blackman (@jaydblackman) and I came up with a program that would allow our teachers to improve their technology skills/awareness.  The program includes 14 PD sessions, an iPad2 for teachers, and will have the come up with a culminating project (such as inviting other teachers to their room to show off a new skill, share a new lesson plan format, or video a great lesson.)

The topics we range from go from (LA teachers please excuse this GIGANTIC run on sentence) iPad's in the classroom to lesson planning with technology to Learning Management Systems to Classroom Management in a technology rich environment.

I just want to take a moment and tell all of our teachers at TCSC who are in this program how incredibly proud I am of each and every one of you.  To take time out of your week to devote to improving how we utilize technology as educators will pay huge dividends for you and your students.  I'm so proud that we are starting to use Twitter to collaborate (63 teachers/administrators at the moment and growing!)

I can't wait to see how this program will help you in your room.  You guys are all rock stars in my book!
