In this episode of the (https://www.teachercast.net/tep) , we bring 3 Instructional Technology Coaches on to discuss their Top 10 Tips for staying productive and efficient in their school districts. 10 Productivity Tips for Instructional Technology CoachesTip 1 – Coach to Teacher Communication Voxer (https://voxer.com/) – very important for keeping communication open but not filling your inbox. Tip 2 – Teacher to Coach Communication Utilize an online booking system ( Google Calendar Appointment slots (https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/190998?hl=en) ) etc for teachers to book times to meet with you. Saves the back and forth time in emails. Use Remind (https://www.remind.com/) for quick contact. Tip 3 – Keep Track of Events and DocumentsEvernote: It’s the perfect application to save documents, audio, PDF’s and it’s available on all platforms. Tip 4 – Digital Communication and OrganizationUtilize Google Docs/Folders to record conversations and coaching sessions for future conversations. Tip 5 – Provide Resources for Personalized LearningKeep ongoing blog as a one-stop-shop for all your teachers’ needs. Update with things you often come across for them to go back to. Also helps alleviate email you send to staff. Tip 6 – Create Personalized Videos Jing (https://www.techsmith.com/jing-tool.html) – a great quick screen recording tool for simple how-to videos. Tip 7 – Create a Data DashboardRecord important events right after they happen. It’s easy to go an entire day and forget to record important events or meetings with teachers. Use a Google Doc, Evernote, Google Keep, or Google Form to keep track of what you have done each day. Use it to create a Data Dashboard of your events. You never know when it might come in handy. Tip 8 – Create User Groups for Group Instruction Facebook groups (https://www.gcflearnfree.org/facebook101/facebook-groups/1/) – create hubs for people to share resources. It’s not just me that may have the answer. Tip 9 – Create an Army of Foot SoldiersUtilize your most willing teachers to assist in training/sparking innovation in others. If you build it, they will come. Tip 10 – When in Need… Wear it! Make an Apron (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wno-rfZg_j0)  Aprons- You could rock an apron and save hundreds on clothes and instantly have more pockets! Augment your clothing reality with extra padding where you need it and a custom pocket for cookies and other fresh snacks.
