So what brings me back to the blog now?
I am a curriculum director. I'm in charge of Curriculum, Federal Programs, Personnel, Communications, ESL, Dyslexia, and probably some other things I can't remember. I call myself Director of Academic Affairs because why not. Our district had a scheduling conflict and found ourselves in need of a teacher for a few students who needed Pre-AP English 10 and couldn't take it when it was already being offered. We offered the course to several retired teachers, none of whom wanted to come out of retirement for 1 or 2 periods a day. I agreed to teach the class because it's a course I've taught before. I knew I was good at teaching at one time and kind of wanted to see if I still was. Since I left the high school English classroom, I've been a literacy coach, an administrator, and a Google Certified Trainer. I still am the last two.
Now I am back in the saddle again and want to see if all the technology stuff I recommend is actually doable and logical. Is it beneficial and fun, or is it a waste of valuable teacher time?
My pledge to myself since I am currently my only reader? Update this blog at least weekly with what I am trying tech-wise. Give teachers a place to find some AuthenTech tips to make their teaching lives better. See if I can practice what I preach about building authentic relationships with students using technology.
