After watching these interviews, I personally think the tech integrationist job is the most appealing to me. I found their job description really fun and the aspects of that job are something I could see myself doing one day. I really enjoy working with a variety of new technologies and integrating technology in classrooms, so this job sounds exciting to me. I think it would be fun to show teachers available technology and help them use it efficiently in their classrooms!
One common trend I noticed throughout the videos was integration. It seems as though all of these positions have one focus and that is helping teacher integrate technology into their classrooms in the most efficient way. This spoke a lot to me because if there are people who specifically focus on integrating technology, it reinforces how strong of an impact technology has on education. Another common trend these people discussed was Google for Education. Before taking this class, I only used Google applications when I was assigned to. Now, I use Google applications for everything. Since all of these people talked about it, it is something I need to continue to use and learn more about.
Overall, I learned a lot from these four presenters. I was unaware of the many different job opportunities in the education field and now that I have learned more about them, I am more aware of the opportunities for me. Although I plan on starting in the classroom, and being there for a while, technology integrationist may be a career I consider in the future. It was fun and beneficial to hear all these people talk about their jobs.
