A Week of Highs and Lows
On a high note, we had some great connections with technology this week.
Yesterday we participated in a Google Hang Out On-Air with Sharon Draper, the author of Out of My Mind, and we used our iPads to have a backchannel chat on Today's Meet. (Each child is bringing home a paper that has 4 pages from the transcript for you to view.) We also had a Google Hang Out On-Air today for a virtual field trip focusing on "What Happens After We Flush!" I embedded both of these into this newsletter.
In addition, Tuesday was a great day! I started the day learning that Maddie and Finley both placed in the STEM and ME Poster Contest! Then, I was a featured speaker at the MiGoogle Conference in Brighton on Tuesday. I presented on the use of Blogger, Google Hang Outs, and Google SItes to showcase the learning going on inside the classroom. It was a great experience, and I enjoyed connecting with educators from around Michigan and learning more about Google! Finally, I was able to celebrate the Safety, Security, and Technology Bond passing! Woo hoo!
Thankfully, there was more positive than negative. :)
