Diary of a Digital Learning Coach

The countdown is on!  Tomorrow is the last (half) day of school for our learners and our educators are about to have a much needed break.  I hope summer allows you to disconnect a little, to take things a little slower, to recharge.   It's a great time to learn also...I know a great blog (hint, hint!). For me, this year was tough, but that just means I was growing.  While I was sad to leave an amazing campus, I ended up falling in love with a new one.   While I worried about keeping up with all the new things, I made connections, leaned on my people, and learned. While I struggled thinking maybe I wasn't enough, I was reminded in the relationships I made, the smiles in our learners and the growth we shared that the struggle is worth it.  For you.  For them.

What is your experience with the Apple Teacher program? Let me know in the comments!

I often tell people I wish that I could gift them the opportunity to see educators the way I do. I am better because of the educators from which I am lucky enough to learn.  You might think that as a coach it is more about people learning from me, but what I have learned over time is that we are all in this together for our kids.  We each have an opportunity to make things better by opening our minds to learning. So thank you, for teaching me. This week in honor of teacher appreciation week, TCEA ( Texas Computer Education Association)  is offering all educators a free year long membership.  As a member of this organization, you would have access to professional learning experiences, member groups and more to help you connect and learn with other educators in the area of digital learning.
