It is the last day of school here in Texas and boy did we earn our summer! I'll be blogging through the summer, but possibly not as often so make sure to sign up on the top right to have the posts emailed to you. As we pack up our school lives and head for the pool, I want to provide you with a quick tip to help your brain remember important things after summer ends. My team recently did our last #CISDCHAT of the year about a tool called Google Keep.

Last night, I came across a tweet from Apple in Education about a new lesson experience/template available at appleteacher.apple.com Check out the video on the tweet to see the lesson in action: https://twitter.com/AppleEDU/status/912804768057143296 Using Keynote in a project like this would be a great way to kick off Genius Hour, help learners get to know each other at the beginning of the year, or as a visual cue for learners to use during learner led conferences. It was so easy to try - all I did was login to appleteacher.apple.com, download the Keynote template and follow the instructions to customize the slide of my choice using shapes. Can you guess what I am passionate about? Sometimes the best way to learn is to play and try it out so my challenge to you on this fun Friday is to create your own, tak...
