Wow...my first post and it wasn't from Rich! Would love to find other people who work in areas like a service center and people who are genuinely interested in coming up with great ideas for our digital theater!
Hi Russ, yeah we should be on the watch for what each other is doing. What stinks about my position is that, while I can set goals, they are often overshadowed by district initiatives that come my way from our 10 districts! Our projects often crawl forward or lose ground totally.
I'm in the process right now of trying to align some of my goals in a more general sense to, hopefully, address our districts goals.
Do keep in touch. Maybe there is a project out there we can collaborate on?
When it comes to getting veteran teachers to use technology it sometimes can be very challenging. This is where our (Generation YES) philosophy has proven success. The program involves partnering up a GenYES student with a teacher in the school (many times a reluctant veteran teacher). The "partner teacher" and GenYES student together develop a lesson plan involving technology. In this situation the teacher is not expected to be the expert with technology and allows the student to show teachers how to use the technology in an effective way.
We have many GenYES schools in Kansas. Where in Kansas are you located?
