Mod 9

In what ways have I grown as a professional as a result of this course?  

I was not aware of the technology standards before taking this course. The SAMR model was new to me and now I find myself placing every activity that uses technology on the ladder and thinking, "Is this the best use of this tech tool?" I'd never heard of Symbaloo before.  I love all the websites I now have collected in one place that I can easily share with others.  I'd never given much thought to the idea of curating resources for my students or teaching my older students how to curate.

How can I use this knowledge to increase my leadership in my corporation?  

I'm already known as the techie music teacher. I am the go-to person for several of my co-workers when they have a technology question.  I know my principal would like for me to do more formal sharing at our teachers' meetings/internal PD sessions.  The information I have gained from this course has given me even more ideas to share with my colleagues.  The SAMR model will be one of the first things I share.
