Paige Holden- Instructional Technology Coach
I would love to collaborate with you! I'm happy to plan with you, brainstorming ways to authentically integrate technology into your instruction, to do research to find what would best serve you and your students, or to spend time in your class, co-teaching and modeling technology instruction. Let me know how I can help! To get in touch, email me at paigeh2@norman.k12.ok.us, sign up for a Tech Talk, or stop by the Tech Bar!
I'm still learning about all the awesome ways we can use technology in our classrooms. If there are days when you're doing something cool with your students, I would love to know so I can check it out!
Thanks to Anna Moore, I'm able to spend more and more time in classrooms lately. If you see me in yours, please don't be alarmed. I'm not looking for anything and I'm not an evaluator. I just want to see what awesome things you all are doing and look for ways I can help.
Thank you to everyone who has worked with me so far! I have so much enjoyed planning and teaching with you. I'm looking forward to all the great things to come!
Tech Talk
Sign up for a Tech Talk to discuss technology in your classroom! Go to goo.gl/9WThDP and choose a time that is convenient for you. You can sign up alone or as a team, and I will happily come to you. I can't wait to collaborate!
