Jordan Tech Thursdays
Tech Updates for Thursday, November 8, 2012
Hello Jordan!
Welcome to the first of (hopefully!) many weekly tech updates. My goal is to give you just a few ideas and tools to explore each week. Please let me know if you have something you would like to contribute!
Flipped Staff Meeting!
We hope you enjoyed our "flipped" technology staff meeting yesterday! If you are working on a Google Site, remember that Leslie can also help you and will change your link on the Jordan website when you are ready to go live.
Be sure to check out Richard Byrne's 47-Page Guide to Google Sites for Teachers for lots of great tips and tricks (Richard's blog, Free Technology for Teachers, is also a really excellent read),
