Julie with our dear friend Terry Freedman from the UK.

Just up on the ISTE website, my dear friend and Flat Classroom co-founder, Julie Lindsay, is now an ISTE board member. Thank you to everyone who supported her run.

And most of all, thank you to Julie who let herself run again. This was her third run. Most people give up after the first time. This is certainly one thing that characterizes Julie – she never gives up and persists.

How would your life be different if you just did something ONE MORE TIME?

Thank you to the network of Tweeters, bloggers, and teachers. Although this means I’ll see less of Julie, I think that she will do great work on the ISTE board.

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

Great news of Julie’s appointment to ISTE. Vicki and Julie, your innovative and cutting edge use of technology for education evidenced primarily in the Flat Classroom projects, means that ISTE has a fabulous advocate for the amazing power that technology can have in education – especially to connect and interact and collaborate with others across the globe. I love your story of Julie’s perserverance, as often after one ‘knock back’ and especially two ‘knock backs’ most of us would give up.

Thank you for your ongoing encouragement! Yes, Julie’s perseverance teaches us all a lesson. We cannot give up but must move forward, especially when we have beliefs about what we should and can do to improve something.
