Our demanding and varied roles require more innovation than ever to stretch the impact of services with limited resources. Better use of technology leads to more effective interventions for student success. Let's put our heads together and make technology work for and not against us.

A Little About Carly
I am a School Social Worker for the Wake County School System and I can truly say that I love my job — most days! You just can't beat perks like small hugs and knowing your actions could change the trajectory of a child's future.
It energizes me to help others learn ways to use technology to become more organized and efficient in their practice. There are so many pressures and barriers to our daily work, so any time and effort that can be saved is like gold. I am all about sharing resources and not reinventing the wheel. That's what this site is about.
Thanks for visiting and I hope you do something today to care for yourself!
