Thanks Cathy for your generous spirit–creating this post with your thoughts, advice, and RESOURCES and for spending time during your school day with our team. You are an extraordinary profesional. We are grateful. The team left the day “energerized,” “enlightened,” “satisfied,” “curious”–a great place for learners to be. Thank you, M.E.

You’ll have to let us know how the Skype visit went! I know this is too late for you to include, but my best advice for the first question is to just PLAY. Try one “new” tool a day/week/month/quarter – whatever pace works best for you. Don’t be afraid to play and make mistakes.

Cathy,
What an exciting adventure to end your work week with! You have thoroughly thought through the questions you were given, so I know you will be a tremendous asset to the group you are Skyping.
As my mentor, you have encouraged me to try new tools and given me advice when I failed. Your down-to-earth nature with technology is refreshing. Because you are wiling to share your failures, you have been a success in the ed tech world. Your readers can feel your genuine love for using technology in instruction and are inspired by your open style of sharing it all – the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Thank you for being not only my mentor, but my friend. I am a better educator because of it!
