I know this is not a specific project that I am writing about so bear with me as I sit back and reminisce on a highly successful school year. From the departure of a veteran leader to the new faces that joined the team, it was obvious that change is inevitable. I smile as I think back on the tablet rollout for our teachers and getting blacklisted by Apple for a few days because of the hundreds of Apple IDs created in a short two-day window. It makes me happy to hear kids talk about how they styled and personalized their own “unique” e-portfolio using Google Sites. I still hear the kids scream in excitement as the Lesson Crashers burst into the classroom to transform the lesson utilizing technology, and then to watch the crowds pile into the banquet room at TCEA to learn more about the movement.
I could go on and on regarding the amount of change, addition and even out with the old that our team had a hand in throughout this school year. Unfortunately I am trying to keep my posts interesting and readable in a short period of time for my thousands of subscribers.
I will say that I am happy with this year. We did a lot of good things for kids. At the end of the day, I can hold my head up and truly say that I put kids first in all that I did.
