Just another blog post from Mr. Woods

It has been a few years. I have gone from tech coordinator at a small district, to tech integration specialist at a larger district. I still find myself fixing printers...I guess that is just part of the song and dance of being "the tech guy", or maybe its because I am not sharing my story. 

The story I need to tell about my job is about collaboration and the best way to tell that story is how I've worked with teachers to help adopt new projects. This fall I approached a teacher to work on a video project where students take clips from popular cartoons and record voiceovers in a different language. Working in collaboration the teacher and I created examples for students, we facilitated a discussion with students about how they would be assessed, in the end we both assessed the project.

I tell this story because my work is as a teaching partner and collaborator. I work with teachers from the beginning of a project with a new technology all the way to the end, not just a phone call away when they need "tech support".
