#ETCoaches Hello! I am Melissa and from PA. I am the educational content manager for TeachersFirst. I am also an online ETCoach and on the leadership team for the ETCoaches pln.
A1. I'm 12 months now, but I love that summer gives me the opportunity to work on other projects for & with the educators I get to serve around NC. It's so fun to work alongside them to create awesome things for both Ss & prof growth! #etcoaches
A1 I look forward to recharging my batteries! Reading some new books professional and fiction list of all I look forward to traveling spending time with family and walking this sweet puppy! #ETCoaches
A2. I'm working on some projects involving #HQPBL & what that looks like for prof learning, also I want to take more time to dive further into coding, VR & AR, and just play in general for the prof learning experiences I develop. #etcoaches

A2 I am looking forward to learning more about leadership. I'd also like to read #LLAP and focus on how I can continue to provide meaninful PD for the teachers in my building.#ETCoaches
A3. I plan to stay connected to & engage with my PLN through Twitter chats, conferences, & book studies. I will also read professionally, curate resources & ideas for content development, & work w/ both colleagues & teachers I serve to create for 2018-2019. #etcoaches
A3 I am participating in both on the road to California to learn more about the dynamic learning project and on the patio with Twitter chats podcasts and webinars #ETCoaches
A4. I encourage educators to take breaks, recharge, and relax (without feeling guilty about it) - and if they're going to learn and grow, to choose things they're passionate about or interested in. #etcoaches
A1: I look forward to finding different ways to connect/partner with #edtech companies and Crossing the #EdTechBridge Check out the survey and database. I worked with @SASeducator last summer and it was awesome! #ETCoaches
A2: I'm excited to learn more about design principles and the AGILE software development process and how they relate to the PBL/IBL unit and lesson design. #ETCoaches
A3: The best way for me is through reading books that I never have time to read through the year. Going to conferences like #iste18 and obviously staying connected with my #PLN#ETCoaches
A3 - Mix of both. I will be starting a virtual class with Penn State in August. Plus ISTE, virtual workshops, and leading a book study and Twitter chats. #ETCoaches
A5. I am hoping for some downtime while I stare at the ocean... We shall see if that happens with 3 kids. Also sleeping a bit longer each day and just slowing down! #ETCoaches
Speaking of wellness, I need to exit early - the rowing machine is calling my name. Thanks for a fun chat. Hope to connect with some of you at #ISTE18 next month! #etcoaches
A4: I encourage people to relax first, find your summer Grove, and grab a good book or join a MOOC-Ed... Meet up with me for coffee and let's talk Tech. There are many ways to encourage involvement. #ETCoaches
A4 I'm hoping to encourage our teachers to participate in Twitter chat and to start listening to podcasts. Those are good ways to dip a toe in PD pool #ETCoaches
A5: For me I just have to return to your roots and things that bring me joy; mountains/beach, bluegrass music, and time with family and friends. 😊 #ETCoaches
A6 I plan on using @padlet and @GoogleKeep to organize all the new ideas I gather over the summer and share them out in the fall through mini PD sessions such as lunch-and-learns and play dates and posting ideas to the shated @GoogleForEdu classroom #ETCoaches
