Dear SchoolCounselor.com Newsletter
reader:
I can use your help ... as you
know, I have been on a mission during
the last few years to help school
counselors advance their levels of
technological literacy and
implementation. Throughout this time,
I’ve been listening for good examples
– although I could use more.
Please respond to this e-mail with
anecdotes about how you are using
technology in your work and for what
purpose. I’m looking for stories that
go beyond the basics (e.g., word
processing to write letters, using
PowerPoint to do a presentation, using
e-mail to communicate with other
counselors.). For instance, do you:
♦ connect your kids with
others from around the world for
classroom guidance?
♦ have your peer helpers
design multimedia videos/presentations
for promoting a message such as
substance abuse prevention?
♦ send to your
administrators a self-running,
narrated PowerPoint that uses
data/charts to demonstrate guidance
and counseling outcomes?
♦ maintain a website that
allows stake holders to download
commonly used forms, includes useful
links, or even includes interactivity
(e.g., a chatroom for scheduled chats
about topics such as middle school
transition)?
♦ use a hand-held device to
manage data or other information?
♦ use online survey tools?
How do you use technology in ways
that makes you more effective,
efficient, or just makes your work
more fun?
Include your name, contact
information, where you work (in case
others want to learn more), and a
paragraph or two with your
description. I will include these in
future issues of the
SchoolCounselor.com newsletter and
other relevant publications.
Thanks!
