What was the most beneficial part of the TIE Conference for you?
One of the most beneficial parts of attending the TIE Conference was making connections with teachers, statewide tech. coordinators, and most of all teachers from our district. I could see relationships grow within our district because everyone was able to share ideas and plans that will work for our students.

What new learning will impact your teaching (position) next year?
I found there wasn't a lot of "new" learning for me in terms of technology. What I did find were ways to help more teachers use technology effectively. I spent a lot of time last year building relationships within the district and I think this year I will be able to impact more teachers because they know who to go to when they want to try something new in their classroom. One of my main goals will be to assist in updating the technology plan.

What additional support and/or resources will further enhance your understanding and application of technology use within your profession?
I will be seeking out the attendees of TIE to share their experiences and ideas! Be ready everyone! I am here to advocate and share what you do with everyone!

==What are your initial plans for your TIE CO follow-up project. This is NOT a mandatory project, but an opportunity for you to reflect on your learning from TIE and become a technology resource/leader within your building. You may choose to focus on a classroom (i.e. Google Literature Trips) or building-level project (i.e. professional development).== I am going to begin working on ways to offer ongoing professional development for our teachers. This may be an online professional development, face-to-face, or both. I would like to explore the possibility to offer university credit for teachers who take these courses as well.
