Did you know that the TeacherCast Tech Coaches network is made up of almost 1,000 Tech Coaches from around the world?

Membership in the Tech Coaches network is FREE and you can join simply by joining our Tech Coaching Newsletter.  Each week we will share with you our latest posts, lesson plans, podcasts, and professional development opportunities.

Build Your PLN and Build it Wide!

If you are like most Tech Coaches, you are probably responsible for the professional learning for the entire school district.  You are probably working on behalf of your teachers, but also working amongst the world of administrators.

This can be a very powerful, but stressful place to be each day.

No matter if you work alone, or are on a team of coaches, it's important for all coaches to have a group of peers that they can turn to when questions arise.  In New Jersey, my Ask the Tech Coach cohost Nick and I belong to a group of coaches who meet once a month to discuss what is happening in our school districts.  We call ourselves the New Jersey Tech Educators Network (#NJTEN).  This group is now in our 4th year together and it's one of the things I look forward to each month.

Follow Tech Coach Hashtags on Twitter

In addition to having a support group of local coaches who you can turn to by voice, text, or vox, it's also important to know where online to find great information that supports Tech Coaches.  Fortunately, there are several great educational hashtags that you can turn to.

Subscribe to Tech Coach Blogs and Podcasts

If you search online, you will find several blogs and podcasts that focus on tools and pedagogy.  We often feature these on our Educational Podcasting Today show.  However, have you ever searched for a podcast or blog that speaks directly to your position, or provides information on how to be a better Tech Coach?

Fortunately for us, there are several great places that we can bookmark to keep updated with the latest best practices.
