This past Thursday, March 26, I went to Montpelier to bask in the warmth of recognition from Project Ignite, a program sponsored by Vita-Learn.
Vita-Learn (Vermont Information Technology Association for the Advancement of Learning) is a merge of two different professional information technology Vermont organizations, theVermont State Technology Council - VSTC and the Vermont Educational Telecommunications Consortium - VETC.
While there I listened to fellow educators share their classroom technology projects and it was exciting. Some of the projects included a robotics lab, creating an e-book to use for differention in music class lesson plans, maker classes, and whole class blogs. These are just a few accomplishments of teachers in Vermont this past year.
My accomplishments this past year that led to my nomination as an "Innovative and Transformative Educator" included coding in library classes as well as going paperless by using Google Drive and other apps Google has to offer. The next project I will be including in Middle School library classes with be a maker project - putting together a computer using the Raspberry Pi.
All in all it proved to be an invigorating day that helped cement plans for next year.
