I started this challenge thinking there was not a ton I would learn through it since I am already an active twitter user, and work with educational technology a lot in my current role. Through digging into the various challenges, I am pleased to reflect on some new learnings and reflections I have had. I think sometimes we need to slow down and think about what we are learning and how we are using tools, such as digital tools, in our practice, and engaging in the 10 day challenge certainly gave me opportunities to reflect on this. It was also great to learn some new things, such as how to use the Twitter extension for Docs and how to use Pivot tables in Google sheets from forms.
What I really gained out of this 10 Day challenge was time to reflect on my practices, and what I want them to look like as I move forward. When I think of effective digital leaders, I notice they are active on their chosen platforms, be it a blog or a Twitter account. They carefully curate information before sharing, and they reflect through their digital presence. I hope to continue to cultivate my own digital skills by continuing to be active on my Twitter account, and by blogging more consistently. I also reflect that this 10 Day challenge was a great opportunity to connect and follow many more of my colleagues and educational leaders throughout the world. I hope to continue to build my digital network and use the digital platforms to connect, share and learn.
