Funny thing happen today as I was trying to compose a "fancy"email to my new staff members, I stumbled onto email campaigns. Typically they are not used in education rather, they are used in marketing and business. It was so easy to use so I thought I would give it a try. All I had to do is import the email contacts, choose a template, compose your email, and send. You can set it up so that the recipients either email you back or not. I linked it to this blog site so that my new staff members could keep up with my blog easily.
The email campaign site I used was https://www.cakemail.com/
It was easy to use and I highly recommend it when trying to send emails that you want to set apart from an everyday email.

Digital Leadership
Digital tools are everywhere and deciding how we use them is one thing that I have difficulty with. When thinking about my past experiences where, we were rich in technology tools, I find that I did not use them to their full extent. At Castleberry ISD, it is not enough to just have the tools but it's how you use them. When reflecting on this key aspect, I often time find myself in the developing stages of this. I am on a significant learning curve. I know about digital tools and with plenty of time, I am able to apply them, however, I am still working to integrate them into my everyday practice as a school leader. By integration, I mean, working with digital tools, planning with digital tools in mind, and developing teacher leaders through digital tools.
With that being said, I have decided to set goals for myself, digital leadership goals, with the hopes that I can transform the way I use the digital tools that are at my finger tips to better myself, my school, my teachers, and ultimately my students.
Goal #1: Ensure the effective practice in the study of technology and its infuseion across the
curriculum
Goal #2: Allocate time, resources, and access to ensure on going professional growth in technology
fluency and integration
Goal #3: Model and promote the frequent and effective use of technology for learning
