To start this work off right, this month’s challenge is about the quick fix.

For the next 4 weeks, we challenge you (and ourselves) to use tech-based solutions and strategies to alleviate a specific pain point in your practice. Maybe you spend too much time each month doing rote tasks and can’t find enough time for deep reflection. Perhaps you aim to find simpler ways to communicate and collaborate with your colleagues. Maybe you’re sick of lugging home stacks of index cards (exit tickets!) every night. Now is the time to test some solutions!

Tweet your pain point, the tech-tool or strategy you’re trying, the outcome, or just share some thoughts about this using #cliponTIE.

#cliponTIE is all about what we can do now. Today. This minute to make our lives, our teaching, and our learning better. We may not solve the world’s issues in a hashtag, but we can tweak our systems to find some efficiency.

Check back in on Twitter and the blog to continue the conversation. You may have solutions for someone else’s challenge.
