Thank you Two Writing Teachers for the opportunity to WRITE!
I too feel this way, a little over two years ago I was asked by our Superintendant of Schools to step out of the classroom and take a K-8 Technology Integrator position. I was shocked, I had just finished my year as teacher of the year giving me kudos for doing what I loved daily. My reaction wasn't positive, I actually initially said no, but then talked it over with my husband and finally agreed to take on this new role.
This is year two in this role and I still do not feel like I do more tha put out fires and hand out band-aids. Where are the teachers who really want to dig deep and think about how technology can move them into a place of higher learning?
Raise your hand I am here to help. Stretching and pulling can make us more flexible. Back to work tomorrow!
Our tech teacher would write almost this same post, I think, although he would write about his wife, not his husband. You have a really hard job, but a really important one, as there is so much to be integrated and learned. Hang in there, and keep stretching!
