I like to play video games!

I LOVE Wolf County’s Stem Camp activities! The 21st century learning skills of creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication were clearly evident! Can you post more about your resources?

Wow! I am so pleased with all of the folks who have sent in their photos and videos of students working on Hour of Code! It is obvious that students had a great time and I believe teachers did too. Can’t wait till next year, but in the meantime, keep coding!!!!

National Literacy Day at Shelby Valley!…Read More

If anyone else is teaching a Java course, your students are eligible to sign up for the mastering the main frame competition through IBM. But they must be registered by October 1st. Students need to be at least 16 years old.

Love learning about new technologies for the classroom!

I’m looking forward to seeing what apps my students are going to create.

I have 20 MacBook pros that my students are learning to program on.

I attended a Google Classroom PD session. I have learned so many new ideas for my classroom. I have learned that I can create an online Google Classroom account to post all of my assignments for my students. Students can access this class using their own google username. I am excited for the students to use google forms for pre-assessments to…Read More

I learned about google slides today, I can use this by introducing a new activity to my PE students along with the rules to the activity.

I’m taking a digital learning training this morning and now I will be able to use google drive to share classroom documents with my students and other teachers.

Today i have learned about many new ways to use this tool. I can communicate with my students during assignments. I have access to a number of free apps to use in my classroom. I can enable my students to have input into parts of my lessons.

I am currently taking a training on google classroom, and I can’t wait to incorporate google docs in my classroom.

I am excited about using this technology in my classroom, I also want to use it on NTI days.

I am going to be able to integrate this into my classroom and I am excited!!! I will make this innovated by using it during Non-Traditional Instructional days!

I am taking a google classroom PD this morning and I am excited to learn about this new technology! I teach Kindergarten and may not be able to use this in my classroom, but I can use it with my academic team! I could possibly use it in my classroom, by allowing my parents to log in and help my kindergarten babies work on it!

I am taking a technology training on Google Classroom and icurio. I look forward to using what I am learning in my classroom.

Carly teaches first grade, and asks, “Could anybody tell me whether it is just as easy to use a Macbook as a teacher (syncing with Smart board programs etc.), or whether it is best to use a different laptop?”

Do we have a new teacher?

I’m loving this free, online course for planning to lead a school or district in this Digital Age. (20 hours PD available if approved by your district). Here’s a sneak peak.

Something to think about… How can we make Eastern Kentucky a hot-bed for technology jobs in the future? What can we do to prepare our students for a world that is driven by technology? Thoughts?!? Love to have some great conversation!!!

I was wondering, how many of our districts allow our students to use their SmartPhones in classroom? I found this article on how smartphones can be moved away from a toy to a tool. At the end of the article you will see 5 tips for getting started with smartphones. Check it out and tell me what you think.

Technology offers extraordinary new capacities to teachers. The vast breadth and depth of educational materials and the sharing of resources available through connecting regional teachers via that technology can break boundaries, making any professional learning accessible anywhere. On February 23rd (March 2-Snow Date) we will demonstrate this…Read More
