Several years ago, when my role was to supervise the use of technology across the district, I created and continually updated a resource for Freehold Township teachers, Tech.Teach.Talk. This web site, which was password protected via the Staff Share, was home to passwords for web-based resources, links to "Best Practices Software," curriculum and technology initiatives and timely resources which connected the curriculum to resources on the web, or provided "how to" examples for teachers as they used new hardware in the classroom. My how we have grown in the past few years...and I am pleased that my role has evolved so that I now focus my passion for student learning and the constructivist use of educational technology primarily with you at MWES, my full-time home for the past three years. This year we are fortunate to have Karen Coronado with us this year as Technology Integration Coordinator to further assist you as you integrate technology into the curriculum.
Last year I worked with the technology department to move many of the resources once contained on the Tech.Teach.Talk website to places easily accessible to teachers, but I still feel a strong need to maintain a place where we can "talk" about the tools we find ourselves using daily to deliver instruction. Thus, the blog title, Tech.Teach.Talk still fits, as my hope is that the Errickson professional learning community will refer to its contents for timely talk which will help us "rethink learning," as the tools our students use to create continue to grow and improve in this digital age!
