Keystone Technology Integrators Summit - Day 4


Today was a very exciting day. I was involved in leading a workshop for Principals from around the state. We had 25 Principals participate in the workshop. A few of my local colleagues attended the workshop. They included our own Kathy Furman, Tim Fausnaught, Matt Reitz and Eric Gee from Loyalsock, Brandon Pardoe and Justin Ross from Williamsport. It was great seeing them at the workshop.

The workshop focused on, What does effective teaching look like? How does technology support effective teaching? The principals also had an opportunity to sit in on two informational sessions on some web 2.0 tools. These informational sessions included Google Docs, wikispaces, and blogs. The focus was on how they as an administrator could use them in their role.

The principals workshop was very successful. Also each principal walked out with some cool gifts. I would like to thank my workshop colleagues, Ann Noonen, Rosie Parmigiani, and Matt Dancho. Also special thanks to Eric Rosendale, Keystone Director, Jim Beeghley and Shawn McDonough, from the Pennsylvania Department of Educational Technology, and fellow keystone staffers Kristin Hokansen, Chris Champion, and Alma Row.
