EdTech Cadre Update
Keeping the Connected Educator Connected!
Volume 2
Did you dig in to anything new techie-wise in your classroom last week? Push any buttons? Investigate any new sites or platforms? Many of us grew up in an era where you tiptoed around tech. Cleaning a 33 1/3 was a tedious process at best, and if you didn't drop the needle just so on the record, the vinyl would be scratched. The internet is a bit more resilient than that. Don't be afraid to explore and to click on things. Instead adopt the mantra, "I wonder what this does..." You won't break the internet! I promise.
Keep an eye on our EdTech Cadre Digital badge group. Badges for Twitter, SAMR, and Padlet will be making an appearance soon!
