My most valuable take away from #NCDLCN is being able to form relationships with like-minded media specialists from all over WNC. Thanks for your great ideas, friends!

A4. Teaching is my passion because I love kids! I want to teach them to love books and love learning. What a great responsibility! #MCSINNOVATORS

@theBVess All of the Google apps are great places to start with technology!

@VickieReads @awisemannc @aslutsky @alyssakanipe @shmccraw @mrmarkgarrett I totally agree! I hadn't even read your post yet and put something similar. Inquiry based learning builds thinkers!

[Caitlin Proffitt @chproffitt04]

A3. It's all about critical thinking! Using inquiry based learning approaches will help kids develop those needed skills. #MCSInnovators

#MCSInnovators A2. Start with one new tool and set small, short term goals. You don't have to change everything at once!

@PennyJa96744853 @awisemannc Love this part of my job too! I like it when our time in the media center is an extension of what Ss are already learning! #MCSInnovators

A1. Part 2: I definitely need to keep the collaboration with my awesome coworkers! They make life better! #MCSInnovators

[Caitlin Proffitt @chproffitt04]

A1: part 1: One thing that I need to let go of is worrying about what others think! It would lessen my "mental" plate! #MCSInnovators

@mathteacher01 @awisemannc @aslutsky @alyssakanipe @shmccraw @mrmarkgarrett I love seeing the solutions kids come up with. They are usually much more innovative than I am!

#MCSInnovators A5. This year, I'm really focusing on "how can this be improved?," and not just doing the same ole thing!

[Caitlin Proffitt @chproffitt04]

@mathteacher01 @awisemannc @aslutsky @alyssakanipe @shmccraw @mrmarkgarrett This is a struggle for me! It's hard to model taking risks when it is so hard for me to do personally! #MCSInnovators

[Caitlin Proffitt @chproffitt04]

#MCSInnovators A4. Empathy. It is important for us to model it, but most important for us to empathize with our kids. See thru their 👀.

@ahouk2233 @awisemannc @ahouk2233 You are awesome! Your kids will rock their program! You are always thinking of innovative ways to approach music! #MCSInnovators

[Caitlin Proffitt @chproffitt04]

#MCSInnovators A3: A big risk when innovating is when others do not see the value in your new way of thinking or acting.
