Back to School Excitement

We start school in 11 days...yes 11 days! Yikes! As I head back to school, I am sharing a few ed tech resources to make life easier for teachers to prepare for the year. Below are a few of my favorite tools!

1. Flipgrid - This is my new "it" tool for 2017. The reason I love Flipgrid is that it allows for equity of student voice. If you are on Twitter follow the hashtag #flipgridfever for more ideas of how to use it in your classroom.

2. Adobe Spark - I have been presenting on this tool A LOT over the last year. Spark allows you to create meaningful and visually appealing web stories and videos.  

3. Twitter - If you are still not on Twitter, you are missing out. This is where I learn about new resources, see what's going on around the world in education as well as connect with other educators. 

This year I am looking forward to sharing more great resources with teachers and campus leaders, encouraging risk-taking and personalizing professional learning!

#ETCoached Blogging Challenge - Week 5

This challenge has been great. I love reading other's blog to keep up with trends across the nation and/or world. 

I plan to keep blogging by participating in other blogging challenges, sharing presentations as well as bout the awesome things I see our teachers doing in classrooms. 

#ETCoaches Blog Challenge - Week 4

BLOGS
I love reading blogs from other educators. I learn so much from bloggers and their ideas trigger other ideas for me. 

I enjoy hearing what others classrooms, districts and organizations are doing to change teaching and learning. Blogs also inspire me and help me create new ideas to change teaching and learning in my district.
