Making Connections #22

A great conversation with Sean Sharp of Floyd County Public Schools, Virginia. We discussed staff development, assessment tools, and student information systems. Sean’s energy, enthusiasm, and passion for technology are inspiring.

Thank you Sean for taking the time to share your ideas.

Thank you for having Sean on the show. I was a Technology Integration Trainer in my district in AZ until budget cuts occurred. I, too learned so much from networking and training teachers on how to use their SMART Boards, CPS pads, teacher computers, document cameras, and basic computer use. I agree that there are so many similarities between NC, VA and AZ and the battles that have to be fought over how to integrate, what to block or unblock, and the implementation of PD for teachers. So much has to be done to help our national, state, and local officials to understand how technology is a collection of TOOLS for learning. Keep up the great show. I'll be keeping you on my "must-listen" list! http://www.techyturner.blogspot.com
