Being an awesome Technology Coach with Steven Anderson #ECM 52

Steven Anderson and Technology coaches

Steven Anderson  discusses the job of a technology coach. ‘Technology isn’t about technology, technology is about people.” But how do we coach people to want to change? How can we help teachers use technology when they have so much to do? These are just some of the questions we discussed on the show.

Who should listen to this show?

This is a must listen for EVERY technology coach or for anyone in school who manages and helps cast the vision for what technology coaches should be and do.

My favorite thing Steven shared in this show is how to help technology coaches help more teachers when there are just not enough technology coaches.

I also love his ideas about doing a really good needs assessment with teaches when they don’t know what they don’t know and the Friday Institute’s Need Assessment (Creative Commons license) and how you can use it to help your teachers improve.

Vicki Davis

Vicki Davis has been an educator and IT director in Georgia since 2002. Today, she also works as an instructional technology coach, staying side-by-side with active teachers and students so her work stays grounded in real classrooms.

She's a mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world.

She has blogged at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog since 2005 and hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and Cool Cat Teacher Talk (radio, public access TV, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms), interviewing remarkable educators around the world. Vicki focuses on what unites us — a quest for truly remarkable, life-changing teaching and learning. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers, grounded in truth and shared with love.

If you talk to Vicki for long, she'll encourage you to "Relate to Educate," to "innovate like a turtle," or to be "a remarkable teacher." She loves homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and runs half marathons with her sisters. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and telling your friends about the work we do here! - Vicki
