There are so many individuals in this room and we clearly see that there are varying degrees of experience with technology and with the content. Doesn't this reflect what our classrooms are like?
Differentiated learning is essential and much appreciated in this forum!

The biggest takeaway for me is not only teaching Ed Tech but also teaching our students and staff WHY and HOW to use Ed Tech Tools. Also not assuming students are tech savvy; we need to teach them how to access and be reach tech tools.

What I have taken away from this conference is a whole new world that can be opened to our teachers and students.  It is frightening, exciting, frustrating at times but it is the future. We have done extensive work on growth mind set at our school.  Teachers, students and admin all talk the talk and do the walk.  We are committed to introduce this work and make connections to what we are now doing .  We will plant the seed and watch it blossom as we travel this road together.  Thank you for opening up a new world for our kids and teachers. We will take the risk together.

What you have offered us these two days has been a powerful experience. The amount of preparation/research/pre-practice in order to model for all users so that ALL of us are as fully engaged as possible based on our learning styles and OMG our interests - must have taken a great deal of time. This confirms for me that as educational leaders we need to set aside more time for our teachers and demand from our higher ups that that time be made. This type of collaboration felt free, personal, and collaborative and ultimately very powerful.

The biggest takeaway for me about Ed Tech tools and blended learning is that all of it promotes the concept of teachers as facilitators. If we embrace this role, then not knowing all of the latest technology would not feel so threatening. Instead of lamenting what we don't know, we would simply ask students why they are using the technology that they use and help them connect it to larger learning goals, or connect the students to others who would be able to help. This move from teacher to facilitator/coach places the responsibility for learning where it belongs: in the hands of students.

# data[].attributes.body
We have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable in pushing kids and teachers to learn the 21st century model of teaching and learning. Blended learning and the drivers are a new reality. It will take some time to embrace change, but we must advocate for this change for our students.

This conference has emphasized the responsibility for Education Leaders to create environments that allow elasticity, choice, opportunity, and equity for students, teachers and the communities we serve. One key way to begin responding to this challenge is to become elastic thinkers personally. Committing to grow professionally, learn new tools, methodologies, and stretching the boundaries on the status quo is a requisite frame of mind to support the realization of this commitment.

We need to remember to take the time to make sure teachers have PD time to learn the tools so they can apply them in thoughtful ways in their classrooms.

As we close the MCNC conference I couldn't help but make a connection to the following introduction to Charles Dickens: A tale of Two Cities.  "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winder of despair, we have everything before us, we had nothing before us…..". Technology allows for new task that push our limits to thinking outside of the box.  There will always be pros and cons or viewpoints that limit our adjustment to technology.  It is our task to continue modeling Growth Mindset that models getting out of the comfort zone.
