It's exciting times here in Texas! Our Technology Department has been working hard t o refresh our devices by providing educators with new Macbooks. We are beyond lucky to be in a district where digital learning is not just valued, but also supported. Having reliable educator devices allows us to design and implement deeper learning experiences. We can learn alongside our children and be more mobile throughout the classroom. Anytime there is change, even if it is a good change, there is a learning curve. I am such a creature of habit that I spent several days trying to get my new Mac to be set up the way my old one was. (#dontjudge) That is why I am so glad to share some curated resources my team gathered to help guide you as you get acquainted with your new MacBook. Many of these are from the Technology ZenDesk, but all can help you become a Jedi Master of your Mac! Click here to visit the drawing above and access the links! Each blu...
Happy Halloween, Readers! My blog today is devoted to providing you some quick "techno" treats, aka things that are rocking my world this week! 1. FlipGrid Connections and Discovery Did you ever wish you could find other classrooms' global projects and invite others to participate easily in yours? Put down the Google Search because FlipGrid's new Connections area changes the game. FlipGrid Connections Also exciting is the new Discovery section.

Seesaw Activities I am loving the addition of the ability to assign and create activities for learners in Seesaw. Not only does it orga...

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...
