5. You've been walking cautiously through the hallways repeating the phrase, "Mimios and weeblies and dongles...oh, my!"
4. You find yourself editing a wiki at 11:30 at night and actually enjoying yourself.
3. You've talked to other members of your department more in the last month than you did the entire last school year.
2. If you learn one more new thing, you think your brain will actually explode.
1. You're EXCITED about the possibilities for student learning this year!
Odds are, you are feeling a little overwhelmed with the new technology, information, skills, ideas, etc. that IMPACT grant/training brought into our world. We just want to remind you that we coaches are here to support you in whatever ways you need. Don't feel like you have to be an expert on everything we learned during IMPACT week. In fact, we suggest that you just take one or two things that you really liked and focus on those.
Not only do you have us coaches for support, but your fellow colleagues are becoming experts on their favorite things, too! We have enjoyed watching teacher leaders pop up all over the building. Let's all continue to share our strengths with each other and reach out for help when we need it. Coaches included!
