“It takes a village . . .” As a District Technology leader, one of my main goals is to motivate staff to take ownership for life-long learning initiatives, especially those specifically related to technology integration for teaching and learning. First, we must all accept responsibility for our own learning. What motivates me personally to want to learn is the challenge of solving the many problems I am faced with as I learn new technologies. The excitement of reaching the success of accomplishing related tasks is what motivates me to want to continue learning. The most challenging thing for me will be to help the Wayland Public Schools staff to embrace these 7 ½ habits of effective lifelong learners. My goal is to accomplish all such “problems” or tasks as I learn Web 2.0 technologies and to motivate others to do the same, to find excitement in the challenges of solving problems related to technology integration and to support technology-rich teaching and learning for our 21 century digital native students. Build it and ‘they’ will learn!
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
