Ed Tech Quote. (2020). Uploaded by Kirsten Thompson. Available online at: http://fishbowlteaching.blogspot.com/

Through the month of June I have been encouraging all staff to reflect on the learning opportunities awarded to them through the experience of Covid-19.  (Some tools to facilitate this reflection include the Year End Tech Checklist & the Self-Reflection rubric).  This increase in tech usage has fast-tracked the use of educational technology for many of our staff; our direct Office 365 stats show just how big of a jump this is. 


Whether you consider yourself to be a “tech person” or not my hope would be that all staff have been introduced to some tech features/tools/practices that they would want to continue this use in their future practice.  I also feel the need to advocate for the active preparation for the potential of another suspension of classes.  In my mind, the continuation of tech practices would assist in the transition if our ability to offer face-to-face options were to change.  


What is one feature/tools/practice that you want to continue moving forward?  For me, I know that our ICT team will continue to utilize video meetings in an effort to reduce travel.
