I feel like I'm walking a tight rope.
We've had some unexpected changes in our admin plus the construction at our campuses has delayed us from setting up our classrooms.
It's very stressful to say the least.
Today I received my schedule from one of the campuses which allotted me 90 minutes on Fridays to do weekly tech work. That didn't factor in a half hour after school after I did parking lot duty. So that gives me three hours total for tech work for 15 classrooms for the week plus any admin needs. (I'm only at this campus for three days out of the week.)
I had a meltdown.
With all the stress, it was bound to happen sometime but it happened during a meeting which really aggravated me. Like Tom Hanks said in "A League of Their Own", 'THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!" Well, there's no crying in technology. Or at least I didn't think there was.
But there I was, leaving the room before everyone saw my reaction.
To their credit, the interim admin and some teachers threw in some last minute changes that may or may not happen to accommodate my schedule. If I'm excused from parking lot duty, that gives me another hour and a half during the week.
After the gushing tapered off, I could see some solutions that could work. I just have to find the time to work on the solutions. Ack!
If there are any tech coordinators passing through, how do you handle your technology and teaching responsibilities? (By the way, part of that time is spent training faculty/staff.)
Calgon! Take me away!
