A7: How much does the administration when hiring look at the new hires portfolio? I've been told both not at all and a lot. #iaedchat

[Michaela Thompson @missT2018]

@MPapaEdu Thank you! This is very good information to know! :D

[Michaela Thompson @missT2018]

@d_mulder Thank you for that insight!

[Michaela Thompson @missT2018]

@MPapaEdu Is there a best way about going about a digital portfolio? #iaedchat

[Michaela Thompson @missT2018]

@townsleyaj Thank you for the feedback! :D

[Michaela Thompson @missT2018]

A7: Im curious to how much knowledge/exposure one has of technology comes into play for the hiring process? #iaedchat

[Michaela Thompson @missT2018]

@d_mulder Would you say bigger or smaller districts would look at it more? #iaedchat

[Michaela Thompson @missT2018]

@MPapaEdu In your opinion, is it better to have a paper or electronic portfolio? #iaedchat

[Michaela Thompson @missT2018]

@townsleyaj TPACK! But in your opinion, would someone with more technology experience be more likely to be hired than someone with less? #iaedchat

[Michaela Thompson @missT2018]

A7: What resources are available when preparing for a job interview? #iaedchat

[Michaela Thompson @missT2018]

@d_mulder @charlie_hiemer I was talking with my first grade teacher tonight about this, it is so true! But thats what makes it such a great profession: always willing to be challenged by your students. #iaedchat

[Michaela Thompson @missT2018]

A6: I think teachers need to know that the school you work for has your back. If they feel like its 1 versus 100 its an uphill battle. #iaedchat

[Michaela Thompson @missT2018]

I loved Q5. It gives a lot of perspective on what educators find important when hiring new teachers. #iaedchat
