One of my main goals many months ago was to become an “expert” on Google Tools and maybe even apply to go to the Google Teacher Academy (GTA)……however, I have not been as good on that goal as I would like to have been. My realization was the workshop Rick Weinberg put on today for [...]
Now that I’m back to work and survived the holiday weekend I’m trying to get back in the swing of things. Here is what’s on tap:
Wednesday, leave for DATAG conference in Albany, NY. I found out to be careful Googling this one, there is another site NOT quite committed to DATA!?!? This workshop should be [...]
I used to always tell my math students before taking one of my tests to grab as many jacks as you can. That, and of course to use good “Mathish”. The reason I say that about the jacks is because I would say that I’m throwing 45 jacks on the ground. Pick up as many [...]
First of all, I have loved Twitter for various reasons:
1. My “springboard” for learning. I follow many educational and tech people. They send out great links (usually), and I learn from there.
2. My network. I’ve just started to connect with people that I’ve NEVER MET! [...]
Looking forward to my first National Conference. I was trying to find a good way to use a Voicethread together so people could respond to the schedule and talk about what workshops/seminars they were going to. Then I realized that will be difficult with the INCREDIBLE number of things being offered. How [...]
Need to get back in the swing of this blog. Paperwork, paperwork. Need to find more time, somehow.
Survived a morning workshop with teachers thanks to fellow colleague (@tclarkeee). Nothing bad, but it is hard when it is the last week for teachers, the sun is shining and some of them are thinking of finishing up [...]
I’m sure I’m not alone and am not sure where this post will go, but last week I remember trying to figure out Copyright rules for educators. I wanted to see about using popular music for students in a MovieMaker project?!?!? I figured NO WAY, but I tried to look into it. On Twitter, [...]
From the very beginning when I was shown Twitter at the NYSCATE conference out in Rochester, NY this past November, I had this problem, of “Who do I decide to follow?”. I had never seen Twitter and had a hard time wrapping my mind around it. I just thought I’d get all these [...]
Here are a few sites that I’ve stumbledupon lately…..did you get it? Stumbledupon????
I have to remember, that I’m not as funny as I think I am. Anyways, let’s go through a list and short description and see if anything follows from it.
Chatterous – Ability to have a chat group about a topic and the history [...]
Having been new to this job (still under a year anyways) and having to learn a TON of stuff, the one thing that caught my eye was at my first conference in November (NYSCATE). One of the presenters there (Carol LaRow) was a Google Certified Teacher. I remember asking her afterwards how you obtain that [...]
