Slice of Life: VILS

This week is the VILS Virtual Conference. I absolutely love learning! Being part of the Verizon Innovative Learning Schools program has been amazing. I love my coaching job and I am so thankful for all of these amazing opportunities to network and connect and learn.

This year has been a year full of learning about instructional technology. I have learned along with all of my teachers. We have learned and mastered Pear Deck, Google Suite, Adobe Spark, Flipgrid, Padlet, and more.

I have had opportunities to learn more about coaching and to learn how to structure my schedule and my days so that my position is valuable and helps to move instruction forward at my new school.

I am so excited that I ended up at this school. They are so welcoming and I have fit right into the culture. In a lot of ways, it was very lucky for me that this year has been virtual so far. Everyone was able to see how my instructional technology coaching position was useful for the school. Many people who may not have been super excited about technology coaching were forced into learning more technology platforms than they would have imagined this year.

I am really loving the learning this week and so excited to continue to implement amazing things at my school in years to come.

This post is a part of the 14th annual Slice of Life Story Challenge. After a few years away, I am challenging myself to write every day in March this year, along with an amazing community of other bloggers. You can find our writing linked up on the Two Writing Teachers blog.
