That Beautiful moment of aha!

Thursday, October 04, 2007

After almost a decade of working in educational technology, one of the things that really lights me up is watching a teacher “get it”. I was helping an art teacher today, and I was showing her how to use an online gradebook. After a few moments, her eyes widened, and she had this really cool response.

“Thank you”, she said with a warm smile. It was great...her students can login at any time and see their grades, and she has a convenient place to keep her grades.

It was very rewarding.
