Blogging Buddies

I am very excited to be a part of the Blogging Buddies through ISTE's EdTech Coaches PLN! Why am I excited? This PLN will be a place for me to network, connect and learn from other edtech coaches.   Often, those in the role of ed tech coach or instructional coach feel isolated due to being the only one in the district or school to hold this position. Blogging Buddies makes it possible to grow and connect with other like-minded educators.  

How does it work?  As my commitment to Blogging Buddies, I will:

1. Blog at least once per month.
2. Offer feedback in the form of blog comments to all others in your group on at least one
of their posts per month (feel free to comment on other Ed Tech Coaches blogs participating in
Blogging Buddies, but who aren’t in your group). A link to all participants coming soon.
3. Practice best digital citizenship. Discourse is encouraged, rudeness is not allowed. It is okay to disagree with one another (how else will we grow?), but this should ultimately be an encouraging experience. If you find yourself getting heated on any particular topic, remember the LARA method- Listen (or read, in our case), Affirm, Respond, Add.
