The teachers using Donors Choose are acting as leaders by reaching out and advocating for their students’’ educational and personal needs. Although the campaigns that I chose did not necessarily ask for funding for technology, there are many other campaigns that do do so. For these individuals, Donors Choose helps them advance their students diverse technological and educational needs.
Collaborator-Educators dedicate time to collaborate with both colleagues and students to improve practice, discover and share resources and ideas, and solve problems. Educators:a. Dedicate planning time to collaborate with colleagues to create authentic learning experiences that leverage technology.b. Collaborate and co-learn with students to discover and use new digital resources and diagnose and troubleshoot technology issues.c. Use collaborative tools to expand students’ authentic, real-world learning experiences by engaging virtually with experts, teams and students, locally and globally.d. Demonstrate cultural competency when communicating with students, parents and colleagues and interact with them as co-collaborators in student learning.
Donors Choose is almost a textbook example of collaboration. Teachers are reaching out to other educators and the public to help finance the very real needs of their classrooms. In this way, they are also sharing ideas with other educators about things to request and avenues of support. Donors Choose is a great digital resource for educators and school administrators alike.
