I have focused so much on getting my teachers to just utilize SMARTExchange that I really didn't consider the fact that I wasn't encouraging them to become Content Contributors as well. This idea was brought to my attention at an iPad workshop that I attended at the Crowley's Ridge Educational co-op back in April and it really stuck with me.
Teachers have always been great to share resources with one another and with the digital age making this so much easier, it seems as if I see less of that happening at some campuses.
In addition to focusing on training teachers in new software and techniques, I am adding contributing to the global educational community as part of my teaching. Whether it is via SMARTExchange, the teachers personal website or other methods, we need to contribute.
