I feel the force within me. MS in Educational Technology I finished.

In all seriousness, I am elated to be taking my new key learnings and applying them to my role as a teacher and change agent.

Requesting feedback after a couple weeks post PD is a good beat practice. This provides time for participants to implement key learnings and creates an opportunity to check in. #feedback #CSUFedtech @An_Wr3n

Preparing PD? Be sure to prepare a plan b. Digital technology is fantastic, but technical difficulties can happen. What activities can be delivered that drives the same message? #preparingpd
