Reflection

I met an intriguing person while attending #Ties13 . He travels the world and speaks on different topics but the two that stood out to me the most are

• What are we doing with technology integration in our schools to make it  “what is best for kids?”
• What does your your personal digital footprint look like?

I attended a few of his break out sessions and a quickly jotted down a few more points that I have been reflecting on over the past two weeks.

• How are you different than anyone else?
• Am I empowering teachers or am I creating learners who are dependent upon me?
• Students don't wait for a workshop on blogging, they Google it and figure it out.
• Should we all use the same tools or should teachers pick what is best for them?
• By using the same tools teachers are able to help each other and share resources with one another. 

I will be expanding on each of these ideas in future blog posts.
