Your tech teacher award intrigues me . . . technology integration is
one of our PD strands this year -- something like this would be
interesting to roll out as we train staff how to use this. Do you
have any additional information on this?

Jackie,
We really have 2. One is a larger group made up of teachers K-12.
They
are more of a study group for differentiated instruction and
technology.
There are about 48 teachers in this group and meet 2x a month (once
virually and 1x face-face) to discuss instructional practice,
frustrations and upcoming stuff. These teachers act as trainers in
our
buildings for using technology with instruction.
The other group is a instructional technology council. The main focus
here is to review our quarterly "tech-teacher" award. This is just
getting off the ground. The group is board members, parents, AEA rep,
principal, teacher, student. We will also use this group for moving
forward with online learning and potential 1:1 project.

Hey, all! Do any of you have technology advisory boards? How do
they work? How often do you meet? I feel I need a "buy in" of staff
who see us moving forward. I have been rolling out some great things
with resistance (and i know that happens) -- but wondering if an
advisory group who also agrees helps the rollout process. My counter
to some have been "would you visit a hospital with outdated
procedures/technology?". But just curious in what others are doing.
Thanks-- and happy holidays to everyone. I hope you enjoy your break!
Jackie
