Welcome! My name is Diu-Jean Anze Calico, and I am thrilled to share my experience and insights as a Senior Instructional Technology Enabler (ITE). This role has taken me on an incredible journey of collaboration, innovation and discovery as I work with educators to transform classrooms with technology.
My path began in the 2022 Internship with KILT - Edunova as a Junior ITE. At first, I knew the fundamentals of computers but lacked the motivation to use them. I was able to improve and activate my computer abilities and acquire new ones thanks to Edunova-KILT. Fraaisig Primary was the first school I encountered; I then attended a few more before arriving at Concordia Primary. Along the road, I had the opportunity to explore various work systems, customs, cultures and make new friends and acquaintances who helped to define my future.
Throughout my career, I’ve witnessed firsthand how the right tools and strategies can empower teachers and inspire learners. From implementing cutting-edge digital platforms to developing interactive lesson plans, my mission is to make learning both meaningful and engaging. I've picked up new skills and knowledge, but in order to experience the bigger picture, I had to step outside of my comfort zone. Thanks to the project, I was able to activate skills I never thought I had. By the end of the internship, I could have applied my knowledge and abilities in another business, and my computer literacy offered me an advantage. When the internship came to a close, it was difficult to say goodbye because the coworkers had become like family, but it also opened up infinite opportunities for the future with a professional and sincere letter of recommendation from the core team.
The team extends a warm welcome back. As a Senior ITE, I began my adventure in 2023, but this time I had to adjust to a new work system. Working with learners and educators to improve them in whatever way is my passion, therefore I was happy to be back. Because of my familiar status with the school and work system, I was sent to Hornlee Primary. I was terrified when I first started, but I overcame it by learning how the new work structure operates and how to guide successful Diep Teachers to success.
I couldn't have succeeded without the support system, but I want to thank everyone and acknowledge their shoulders. I invite you to join me as we explore the exciting world of instructional technology.
Let’s embark on this journey together and make a difference in education!
