1. Team Teaching/Facilitating:
Invite a tech coach into your classroom to team teach a lesson. Another great use of a tech coach is as a facilitator. She can roam around the room, helping students who get stuck or lost while you teach the lesson. This can be especially useful on days that you introduce new apps or websites, or when you are working on a project that makes heavy use of technology.
2. Creating
Your tech coach can create items for you to use with your classes. This might be an iBook, a video tutorial, a newsletter, or even a class website. Maybe you need help setting up a system for sharing documents with your students or creating assessments in Edmodo or Socrative. Whatever it is, your tech coach is ready to help!
3. Researching
Have you ever thought, "There should be a way to do X"? Are you overwhelmed by the sheer number of apps and websites that all claim to be the "best"? Your tech coach can research the options and report back to you, so you get a short list of recommendations rather than sifting through thousands of possibilities.
Take a moment to consider how you might use your tech coach to your best advantage, then contact her by phone, email, or in person.
