A Cure for Isolation in Teaching

As a school district including 4 schools and their individual libraries and teachers, one complexity is how to be of service to as many teachers, staff, and students as possible. Collaboration is essential in education both as means of working together and sharing ideas and as a way to establish connections.  

Teaching can be isolating. One natural remedy of that isolation is collaboration.  

In the hopes of being a useful resource to teachers in all four of the schools, I am going to begin being present in the other buildings on a weekly basis.  This will let me become acquainted with the students and staff in the buildings. However, it will also allow me to be an asset to those staff who need help. 

I am hoping to be able to bring new ideas (New apps! Neat programs! Cool tech!) but also support for existing technologies and program (Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Sites). It is my hope that this will allow me to be useful to the most people --students, teachers, staff--in the places where they need help the most.
