his week's newsletter spotlight brings us Katherine Vandrilla who teaches Chemistry at Middletown High! We asked Katherine to share her words of wisdom or tips for colleagues on how to be successful in this hybrid environment and/or integrating technology with students. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Give yourself permission to try something that might not work. Start small when learning a new platform or creating a lesson. Everything won't work perfectly the first time you try it. Give yourself the same room to grow that you give your students. If I'm really uncertain how the tech will work, I'm also honest with my students that it's new to me and I'm going to make mistakes (they like to see that we're human). I also can't emphasize enough to do a trial run when you can. Like if you're new to Pear Deck, running the presentation and joining as a student allows you to see how it will look on their end.
