Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

The purpose of this session is to provide an opportunity for those who serve as Edtech Coaches to gather together for collaboration, mentorship and professional development. As the role of an edtech coach has shifted significantly in the last few months we want to support coaches, especially members of our PLN, by sharing strategies, tools and lessons learned. Our objectives in this session are threefold:
- Share new and innovative uses of technology
- Provide an opportunity for coaches to address role related issues and solve problems collaboratively
- Encourage new and renewed connections between Edtech Coaches
