My Digital Grade

Today I evaluated myself with the ISTE National Ed. Tech. Standards as an administrator.  What I found is that like most of us, I feel that I'm doing a good job and give myself an "A" in the majority of the bullets.  However, with the huge transformation of integrating technology and it's global reach, I'm nowhere near that level.  I aspire to be, so I'm going to give myself extra credit.  I'm particularly lower in the bullets of advocating or integrating technology with the "national" aspect.  At the same time,  I realize that the internet is world wide and reaches users all over the globe.   What other evaluation tools do you use as a teacher or administrator that you feel promote your growth in technology? #castleberryisd

After School Reflection

Technology was a challenge.  However, it was also a tool that many of us used to our advantage.  One app was noted by several parents and teachers as a great tool to increase communication between the two.  Remind 101 is an easy way for teachers to send homework, field trip, special events, and other reminders to designated receivers (Parents) that can be accessed at their convenience.  Check it out and hopefully you will find an improved method of communicating with parents as well.
