Let's Get Digital

While I haven't been telling you about it here, I have been learning. If you follow me on Twitter, you've had the opportunity see a bit of what I've been thinking about over the last 13 months while I've been blog silent. As I often do, I've undertaken a massive learning challenge, so I thought I'd invite readers along for the journey.
This year, I am participating in North Carolina Leadership in Personalized and Digital Learning through the Friday Institute.  This course includes five days of face-to-face learning, as well as independent work. My school has acquired lots of technology hardware in the last couple of years, and I want to provide leadership to teachers in designing instruction that incorporates technology to enhance learning, rather than as a stand-alone or add-on.
Just when I was starting to question my sanity for taking on an optional professional development that may be somewhat time-consuming, I learned that NC educators who renew their teaching or administrative licenses in or after 2019 will need continuing education credits in Digital Learning Competencies. Follow my progress here or on Twitter as I get a head start on these credits!
