My New Job
Things have been pretty crazy in these parts of the woods. I haven’t even had a chance to tell the world that I will have a new job next year!
After our Teaching with Technology PD sessions last November, one question that kept coming up was “Why don’t we have somebody like Jeff Utecht on staff helping us?”
After some last minute lobbying by our Principal, the job of technology facilitator was approved by the board. The position was announced on a Wednesday, submissions of interest were due that Friday, interviews happened on Saturday, and I was lucky enough to be offered the job that night!
Now, if I can only do this new job the justice it deserves… There is so much that can be done and so much that needs to be done. I’m very excited by this opportunity but also a little worried (in a good way!). I hope my PLN is up to the task! I’ll have a million questions for them…
Of course, that means come August the focus of this blog will change somewhat. Hopefully, I’ll also have more time to actually post things to this space too!
Congratulations on the new gig! Although I must admit, I’m going to miss your mathy posts…
Thanks Jackie. I’m really looking forward to it! I’ll always be a math guy at heart, though, so I’m sure there will still be some math-inspired posts.
