They asked me what changed, I simply replied “I started learning again.” At 40 years old I was worried… do 40 year olds learn new technology? I didn’t think I had the courage to step outside my comfort zone to learn the technology that would cause me to not only learn, but teach to the students.

As a classroom teacher, I would have definitely described myself as a “Tech-Fearless Educator”. I’ve always enjoyed exploring to learn and definitely embraced that in my own teaching and learning. What I love most about “edcamps” is that they are 100% driven by the collective knowledge of the group.
