The Pencil Metaphor
Where are you?
Instructional Technology Specialist
I serve schools in the "Austin Feeder Pattern" and love working with teachers to create lessons that integrate technology in meaningful ways. The more I work with teachers, the more I learn that it isn't about the technology... it is about good teachers modeling life long learning. Explore and educate yourself! Your students will thank you!
