Beai Eiic,

Thank you veiy much foi anothei gieat yeai suppoiting the technology neeus of those in oui
community. I can't thank you enough foi all youi woik piepaiing foi oui new BY0i plan, cooiuinating
the leaseu iPau ietuins, anu helping to facilitate the selection anu ioll out of the Canvas LNS. In
auuition, you have uone a gieat job helping so many of oui teacheis giow with theii use of technology.
The following comments fiom the faculty suivey exemplify youi gieat woik: "Always willing to shaie,"
"Be pioviues so much infoimation foi my giowth as a technology-using teachei," "The Euucational
Technologist is fantastic - veiy knowleugeable anu up-to-uate on best piactices," "Be is geneious to all,"
"A wonueiful iesouice!" In teims of the quantitative feeuback, a significant majoiity of faculty feels
well-suppoiteu in eveiy aiea (8u%-9u% "Always" oi "0ften" agiee theii neeus aie met on almost
eveiy question).

0ne of the best things about youi blog, !"# %#&'(#&& )#*+,-,.#, is the fact that it tieats technology as a
tool that facilitates stuuent leaining anu cieativity as opposeu to an enu unto itself. Youi use of social
meuia to piomote change is extiaoiuinaiy anu ieaches well beyonu the campus of St. Ignatius. Neicy
Bigh School, San Fiancisco in paiticulai has inuicateu how giateful they aie foi youi help.

Foi next yeai, I am wonueiing how we can ieach some of the slowei auopteis. Peihaps we coulu
solicit faculty who woulu welcome youi visiting theii classiooms anu offeiing suggestions about how
they might integiate technology moie effectively in theii classiooms. What if we askeu the Tech
Committee to uelibeiate upon ways of getting moie faculty up to speeu with cuiient best piactices.
Bow can we use Bepaitment Chaiis. Also, coulu we get stuuents involveu with helping answei some
usei issues in oui Tech Bepaitment.

I completely unueistanu youi uesiie to move back into the classioom full-time, anu think that we will
be able to make that happen next yeai. I know that you will continue to inspiie youi colleagues by
example in this iole. Also, thank you foi youi insights about the neeu foi an IT Biiectoi; I will follow
up on that, anu please keep me posteu on how things go next yeai so we have some uata to aigue foi
the position.

Again, thanks foi all you accomplisheu with youi Eu Tech hat on. I veiy much appieciate youi
cieativity, youi ability to anticipate anu solve pioblems, anu youi geneiosity. Bave a gieat summei.
