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.
