What is a Personal EDU Brand?

When we think of personal or professional branding, we speak about a number of topics.

• How Do Others See You?

• How Do You Stand Apart From Others?

• What Makes You Unique?

To sum it up, your personal brand is how OTHERS see YOU.

There are several reasons that you might be interested in creating a personal or professional EDU Brand this year.

Some of these reasons might be:

• To Support Your Family

• To Support Your Students

• To Support Your Passions

3 Reasons To Start Your Own Personal or Professional EDU Brand

To Support Your Family

• By building an online digital portfolio that includes associations with edtech companies, you may have the opportunity to attend professional development events sponsored by the company which could save you and your family money.

• Kids love Free T-Shirts!

• Swag is pretty awesome!

To Support Your Students

• Building a connection to other educators and edtech companies give you the opportunity to gather knowledge and additional resources that you can take back to your classrooms.

• Membership in EdTech ambassador programs provides you an extended PLN in which you can learn new ways to use applications and can help you create additional resources and activities for your students.

• Many teachers have to pay out of pocket hundreds of dollars each year for supplies. By working with other educators and educational companies you have the possibility of getting support for your students through physical or digital resources.

To Support Your Passions

• Are you searching for professional learning beyond what your school district provides?

• Are you seeking the opportunity to work with educators who share the same passions that you do?
