Academic/Technology Coach
|
What's an academic/technology coach? Well, we're still working on what exactly that is. What I want my role to be is not really a "coach," but a resource for teachers and students, another teacher in the classroom and on a teacher's planning. In other words, if a teacher or student wants to work on Moodle, I'm there to help,. If a teacher wants to know what all is on the textbook CD's, I'll see what I can find. If students are working on a project in a lab, I'll be there as an extra teacher. Want to have make electronic flashcards? Call me. Have a great idea but not sure how to implement it? I bet we can work it out. Students want to make a movie? I'll work with them. Want to work with another school on a project? I'll help teachers find one and help them see it through. Want to learn about a program but don't have the time to do it? I'll do the background work for you. Want to set up a twitter for students or a blog with grads in Iraq? That's where I come in. If teachers want to see how another teacher conducts a lesson? They can go. I'll stay and teach the class. Not as good as they could have, but I'll do my best. I am a teacher. My job is not to sit in an office all day, and I wouldn't be happy doing that, so give me work to do! Share your ideas with me and needs with me. I am here for you and the students. Education: B.S. in Secondary Education from The University of Texas at Austin. Masters in Secondary Education specializing in Classroom Technology from ETSU.
