Tech Tools we LOVE!
Quizlet
When you think Quizlet, think online flashcards. It was developed by a 15 year old who was tired of carrying around all those stacks of cards. Over the years this robust tool has only gotten better. Last spring they came out with the fun to use Quizlet Live that allows students to engage in a fun, engaging game. It is easy to use and students love it.
Google Forms
I use Google Forms a lot to collect information from teachers and students. One new add on that I have just found called docAppender allows me to select what form data I want and put it into a Google Doc. I have just started playing with it but I love Google Forms and this makes parsing and presenting the data even better. You can find link to forms in your google drive.
Google Keep
I am always looking for a better way to stay organized and on track. One of the tech tools that I have rediscovered and starting working with is called Google Keep. It has a Chrome extension, Chrome app, iOS app, and Android app. So, I can access it from many different locations. It reminds me a lot of a virtual post-it note board. I can color code my notes and to do lists. I have the ability to add images, share with collaborators, record voice notes, transcribe text from images, set reminders, copy to Google docs, add tags, and filter my notes/lists by tag, word or color. Hopefully, it will keep me more organized this year.
Meet the team!

I see technology as a key to reaching more students and meeting the needs of all learners. I enjoy working with teachers to support the implementation of the tools that allow students and teachers to create and share in ways previously unimaginable.
