Here's how you can confidently promote your ideas and solutions as an educational technology professional.

In the present world Education without technology means nothing. To level up your game articulate technology in researched way in your system

A autoconfiança excessiva pode levar à arrogância e à desconexão das necessidades reais dos educadores e alunos. Acreditar que suas ideias são as melhores sem considerar diferentes perspectivas pode gerar resistência e dificultar a implementação eficaz de soluções.

Promoting your ideas as an educational technology professional is all about showcasing your expertise and passion. Start by understanding your audience’s needs and tailor your solutions to address them. Use clear, jargon-free language and provide real-world examples of your successes. Engage with your community through webinars, blogs, and social media, and always be open to feedback to continuously improve and innovate.

My technology is designed to assist and enhance the educational process in several ways,solving various problems that learners and educators face. 1. Supplemental learning resources: I provide additional support and resources for learners, complementing traditional teaching methods. 2. Real-time feedback and assessment: I can assist in assessing learner understanding and providing immediate feedback, helping educators refine their teaching strategies. 3. Accessibility and inclusivity: I reach learners with disabilities, remote or underserved communities, and those with limited access to quality education. 4. Encouraging critical thinking: I facilitate inquiry-based learning, promoting critical thinking, analysis, and problem-solving skills

You have already adapted, improvised, and overcome if you are reading this. Make sure you take an honest self assessment and don't seel yourself short. If the unknown comes your way, remember you have a 100% success rate at overcoming unknowns to this point. So don't waver in knowing you can handle new unknown things. Be honest about your weaknesses but don't over emphasize them. These are boundaries that help you best understand where your strengths aren't so you can emphasize where your strengths are.

Enfatizar a autopromoção em detrimento do envolvimento dos educadores pode criar uma cultura de trabalho individualista e fragmentada. A falta de colaboração e de uma visão compartilhada para a tecnologia educacional pode limitar o impacto positivo das soluções implementadas.

Ask lots of questions. You may have ideas but educators are your boots on the ground. Let their needs inform your work and always try to align your tech to real needs. If it does a cool thing that does not meet a real need then it doesn't do much good.

Communication about educational technology is often engrained in simply listening. Listen to the needs of your stakeholders and value their opinions about the platform's use among students. Empathize with the unique needs found in concerns and celebrations voiced by educators who use your platform daily. Consider creating a thought board or parking lot of questions and concerns that engage educators about your platform but that also demonstrate the needs of stakeholders to your organization's leadership team.

El camino del profe puede ser, en ocasiones, un poco difícil de recorrer. Lo primero es entender qué les duele, buscar esa piedra en el zapato que les impide correr o mejor, volar. Sus quejas, sus problemas ... son súper valiosos. Son los que nos van a permitir encontrar una solución haciéndoles la vida más fácil integrando la tecnología en sus clases, en su día a día. Y aquí vuelvo a decir algo que he comentado en artículos anteriores. No vedamos humo. Vamos a ofrecer soluciones reales y algo muy pero que muy muy importante. Que se sientan comprendidos y respaldados en todo momento.

Construir relacionamentos com base na autopromoção pode gerar conexões superficiais e falta de confiança genuína. Priorizar a autopromoção em vez de construir relacionamentos baseados em empatia e colaboração pode dificultar a defesa eficaz de suas ideias.

Never let even the smallest of connections go unnoticed. When working in the educational technology field whether publically or privately, networking matters. The teacher who lives in your neighborhood may use your product or program daily. The stranger you meet at your local library may have a child who uses your product or program each school year. Capitalize on interactions by providing all stakeholders with your contact information and a verbal or written "thank you." Connect with the field by showing them that they matter! Engage with stakeholders after initial connections through consistently meaningful interactions.

Enfatizar excessivamente o sucesso individual pode desvalorizar a importância do processo de aprendizagem e da experimentação. A obsessão por resultados imediatos pode levar à negligência de aspectos cruciais como a inclusão, a equidade e o impacto a longo prazo das soluções implementadas.

La investigación en el aula es también una labor importante para la docencia. Sistematizar los resultados de buenas prácticas y las experiencias exitosas en que se integren las tecnologías en el aula es necesario. Sin embargo, esta sistematización y su divulgación debe comenzar en el propio centro educativo, de modo que otras personas docentes se interesen y a través de entornos colaborativos pueda construirse, de manera paulatina, una cultura de innovación con el aprovechamiento eficaz y efectivo de las tecnologías disponibles en el centro educativo.

A crença inabalável nas próprias ideias pode levar à resistência à mudança e à falta de abertura a novas perspectivas. A autoconfiança excessiva pode impedir o aprendizado contínuo e a adaptação às necessidades em constante mudança do cenário educacional.

As an educational technology professional, staying ahead requires a commitment to continuous learning. Engage in professional development courses, stay updated with the latest research through relevant journals, and actively participate in online communities. This ongoing education not only enhances your own expertise but also bolsters your credibility when promoting your ideas and solutions. Demonstrating your dedication to staying current in the field signals to others that you are a knowledgeable and reliable expert.

Falar com excessiva confiança pode soar arrogante e desconectar o comunicador do público. A falta de empatia e adaptabilidade na comunicação pode dificultar a transmissão eficaz de ideias e a persuasão dos outros.

Productive skills are hard to train. You can easily and quickly erase something you write but not something you say. I've learnt to reflect on what I'm writing and try to be objective. I read and check if my message is clear or not. Of course, it's not possible to do that when you're communicating ideas orally but you can train your pace, slow down a bit and get some precious seconds to notice if you are producing ideas correctly or mixing everything up. That helps in constructing confidence as well, once you see you can do it, you feel more courageous Remember: confidence 1st, fluency 2nd!

Consider using a digital gradebook. Initially, grading and tracking student progress was time-consuming and prone to errors even for me. By adopting a digital gradebook, teachers can now quickly input scores, generate reports, and communicate progress to students and parents efficiently. This not only saves time but also ensures accuracy and transparency, fostering a more supportive learning environment. When teachers clearly and confidently communicate the benefits of such tools, they highlight how technology can streamline processes and enhance educational outcomes.

A valorização excessiva de referências próximas pode levar à busca por reconhecimento externo em detrimento do impacto real das soluções implementadas. A priorização da autopromoção em vez do bem-estar dos alunos e da comunidade educacional pode comprometer a ética profissional e a responsabilidade social.

Explain the why! By explaining the why behind your ideas or suggestions, you increase the chance of buy in, strengthen future working relationships, and lend credibility to your experience and expertise as an ed tech professional.

As habilidades de comunicação e persuasão são essenciais para o sucesso. Seja apresentando ideias para stakeholders, defendendo soluções para problemas complexos ou inspirando colegas a adotar novas tecnologias, a capacidade de promover suas ideias e soluções com confiança é crucial para alcançar seus objetivos e fazer a diferença na área.
