At the ADE Institute this summer, one of the themes was professional branding -- how we portray ourselves professionally. Each of us went through a series of exercises to help us fine-tune our "brand" and then we recorded a 2-minute video. I do not yet have access to the completed video, but I thought I would share the text here since it references the DoltonRoad theme I have chosen for this blog.
"I am an Educational Consultant, previously a K-12 Supervisor of Educational Technology, and proud to be an Apple Distinguished Educator. My professional path -- my 'Dolton Road' -- includes over 15 years of technology integration and professional development, and over 20 years in the classroom. My mission is to:
• Harness technology to transform education;
• Guide administrators and teachers to connect and collaborate so they can empower their students to do likewise; and
• Assist fellow educators turn challenges & obstacles into opportunities for creative solutions.
"I believe in honoring diversity, acknowledging disagreement, and overcoming disengagement through inclusion of all and construction of common cause. The virtual highway has no barriers of space or time; our digital roads may intersect in myriad ways; and the more intersections we build, the richer our journey together and the greater opportunities we bring all students today and tomorrow."
