I was reflecting on a simple win from the school year. One of our 2nd grade teachers had students use Clips to retell a story in their own voice—with emojis, effects, and all. It wasn’t fancy, but it was them. Tech doesn’t have to be big to be bold. #WaukeshaOne #AppleEDU #EdTechCoaching

After considering it for too long, this winter I started studying for my CETL exam. I just earned my #CETL from @CoSN—thanks to every educator, tech coach, student, leader and teammate who sharpened me along the way.
