Teacher Reflections


Last week, I was honored to make a presentation at the ERB conference in New York with 3 of my colleagues. The presentation was called Integrating Technology Into Your School's Culture. It shared our school's experience with leading change and highlighted the challenges and opportunities of integrating technology into our school's culture. Part of the presentation included a video we made of some of our teachers reflecting on their use of technology. I purposely chose some teachers who have been here long before technology invaded our lives as well as some teachers who were maybe a little reluctant about making the change. What struck me is that these teachers used no script. Technology has become such a part of our culture that they just started talking, and I was amazed at the incredible things they were saying. Unfortunately, I had to edit the video to approximately 9 minutes for the presentation, but I wanted to share it here because it is always so powerful to here directly from the teachers.
