Hello and welcome to the very first #NYCSchoolsTech podcast. My name is Nancy Ribak Altadonna. I am the producer and host of this program. This podcast is part of the #NYCSchoolsTech suite which includes our NYCSchoolsTechChat on Twitter, our NYCSchoolsTech group on Facebook, and our year-round #NYCSchoolsTech Partner Certification Program. We hope to follow up with you in the method that works best for you. To find out how to participate, please visit our program notes at https://nycschoolstech.blogspot.com.
This summer’s 6th annual NYCSchoolsTech Summit takes place on Tuesday July, 31st 2018. If you are an NYCSchoolsTech staff member who is interested in contributing to this podcast, please stop by the #NYCSchoolsTech Podcast lounge located in the library of Beacon High School from 12-3pm.
If you do, come prepared with answers to these five questions which you can also find in our show notes.
We are giving you five minutes to answer the following five questions:
- Why were you inspired to attend the #NYCSchoolsTech Summit?
- What’s the best part of being involved with #NYCSchoolsTech?
- If you could thank a #NYCSchoolsTech staff member, who would you choose and why?
- Technology Implementation: Think about your classroom and finish this sentence:
“In the next ten years I expect my students to…….”
- What is one innovative tool or practice that you learned about today that you plan to use to ensure your students are civically activated and educated?
Hello, this is Nancy Ribak Altadonna and I would like to share a little more about NYC Schools Tech…
Our staff is committed to supporting students in graduating with the skills they need for success. We do this by providing learning opportunities such as the annual summit and our Partner Certification program which you can find at Schools.nyc.gov/tech. Please note, you must be logged on with your employee credentials. Our monthly NYCSchoolsTechChat happens on Twitter at 7pm EST on the first Thursday of each month. Our #NYCSchoolsTech Facebook group is a great way for staff to stay connected all year long.
This podcast is another way in which we highlight, support, and encourage educators to form connections with others and create powerful learning networks for themselves and their students.
Thank you for listening to our inaugural NYCSchoolsTech podcast hosted on Soundtrap. We hope you will not only listen, but will also join us by coming by the podcast lounge located in the Beacon High School Library from 12:00 - 3:00 pm at the Summit.
#NYCSchoolsTech would like to leave you with a final thought…
Work Hard and Be Nice and take care of your eyes and body. For every 30 minutes that you are looking at your computer, stand up, stretch, and look away for 30 second. Alright, we’re just looking out for you.
