How can I be of service? Well, first I feel that I need more time to implement all that I have learned this past year before I can be of service to others. I have dabbled here and there but I am still perfecting my practice as far as T-Pack is concerned. Now that I have selected technology tools that will aid me in my craft, I need to see how it all comes together. Only then can I ask myself, Was I successful or do I need to make some more modifications? Once I feel a little more confident in my own 21st century skills, I plan to share my capstone with colleagues and family members that teach in different towns and states.
In the meantime, I have no problem sharing the importance of digital citizenship and bringing awareness to my site. I have already shared a video that I created with one of my site coaches. I had asked if this was something that I should share at the beginning of the year. She agreed that most teachers were not aware of the Common Sense Media lesson plans that our district wants us to be teaching and that my video would help highlight this valuable teaching tool. Especially since resources are available in Spanish and everything that we send home is written in English and in Spanish. Ideally, I would love to see my work help other just like me. Teachers who want to learn more to better their practice with incorporating 21st century skills but feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start.

Common Sense Media is such a valuable tool!. I think your whole staff could definitely benefit from the videos you created about digital citizenship. I definitely think that the work you have done will help a teacher just getting started with using digital tools in their classroom. Sharing your own experience and learning is a powerful tool for motivating other teachers.

Stephanie, I also feel like I was dabbing here and there with things in the classroom. Now this year I have an idea of what I would like to continue using for the new school year. I bet that the video that you created about Common Sense Media would be fabulous to share with the Technology Department at the district office. I bet they would want to share that out to all of the schools. Just a thought.

You are smart not to over commit your plans. Sometimes I rush into things and appreciate you making sure all is ready before take off. I think it's great you will be sharing video information about Common Sense to your staff. That is being of service to others. You will be a great resource for sharing all the new things skills you have gained from this program.

I am glad you are part of Markham! I think everything we have learned we will be able to share with our staff and create an even stronger group of teachers. Like I mentioned in my video, I think if we as teachers learn and grow in our own skills, our students will reap the benefits. They will also learn and grow as a result.
