About a year ago I was approached by my principal about an amazing opportunity that the school was given to go 1:1 with iPads in the fall of 2014. This was not just a simple 1:1 but one in which our students would take the iPads home and have cellular connectivity on them. FINALLY a way to help bridge the digital divide that the students at our school faced. What did it have to do with me? As part of the grant they are providing the school with a digital integration coach. Loving to take on new challenges of course I said yes.
The question is what is a digital integration coach and why are they important to schools? For me a digital integration coach's main function and role is to help teachers and students utilize technology int their learning as a tool- teaching those who have and use technology to see it as something to make their life more effective and efficient.
And NOW the journey begins....
