There were a couple of things I found to be quite useful from Molly Brake's presentation. The first is the thing she told us about getting the gift card from Walmart each month. I had no idea that it was available and it is so easy to get. As long as I can remember that, I definitely plan on taking advantage of that. Unfortunately I don't have the best memory, so hopefully this works out for me.
The second thing I found useful would be to see what the technology coordinator is offering that would qualify for CEU credit and to take advantage of it. It would very convenient to have those right at the school you are working at, and hopefully it would also be free of charge.
I guess I also kind of took away that I should maybe try to troubleshoot problems on my own first because it seems that technology coordinators have a lot on their plate. I don't reallythink that was a point she was trying to make, but I kind of felt sorry for her a little bit, especially when she put the work into planning those classes and then she had to cancel them. I would like to think that I would take advantage of technology classes that are offered even if I don't need the credit for it.
Good thoughts. Thanks!
