I found the teacher librarian role the most interesting. I think one day I would like to try this role. I really like it because I would still be able to work in a school and get to know students. I would be able to work with teachers to create meaningful learning experiences. I also observed Jeremie Knutson who is a technology coach at Ames Middle School. I thought this job position was interesting as well. It was fun because he got to collaborate with teachers and his day was never the same. Jeremie was also in charge of teaching how to integrate technology into the classroom to his fellow teachers. I think this would be fun to do and interesting to see the growth of each teacher.
One theme I saw while watching the videos was that a lot of them started as classroom teachers. They then started taking classes or just fell into the technology positions. I also found that a lot of school are using chromebooks. I really enjoy chromebooks and their abilities so this was interesting to me. I think it is interesting that Apple has not really stepped up and found ways to make their devices education friendly.
I learned about what the Google App Certified teacher program is. You can become a trainer and teacher about Google Apps. The Google Apps for education is a program where educators can train and become certified to show they understand the content and are willing to share about that information.
