Week 7 of the #youredustory challenge - "People don't buy WHAT you do, they buy WHY you do it" Simon Sinek - Why do you do what you do?
As a technology coordinator I do what I do now for the teachers and the students. I work to keep things working in our district so when a teacher has an awesome idea for a project - the technology won't be in the way...instead it will help make their work easier.
I do what I do so that when a student wants to use a device to get their work done and needs technology to do it, they can. I would love to see a device in everyone's hand, and I do what I do to try to make that happen.
It isn't very glorious day to day - but when you see what you have done "behind the scenes" working without people knowing it in the classroom each day - it makes it all worth it!
I've always said that the technology department can never win - we the tech works, people don't think about it...but if it doesn't work it is your fault. So I do what I do each to so teachers, students and admin don't have to think about it!
