Tech Enlightenment
The registration links are already set up, if you are interested click on register for the direct link to Eduphoria. Don't miss out or get left behind. All my trainings are hands-on, learning by doing. Expect to understand the program, ideas on where to implement, and sometimes I give some extra info like free app suggestions.
12+ hours are required for the school year.
ThingLink
How does it work?
Simple. You start with a photo, graphic, or drawing. Then, you add links... any kind of links. Whether they are links to videos, websites, or audio, it doesn't matter since ThingLink can handle it all. Below are some samples of the vast array of possibilities it can be used for such as science, math, or retelling a story. It can also be used as a go to source for introducing a lesson or for students to showcase their knowledge.
Take a look at the ThingLinks below.
If you are interested in learning more, email me and I will provide a training. This web app can be used by younger aged individuals, so the sign up is easy and best of all FREE!
Don't Forget...
Workflow is for issues using the Workflow application within our district.
Integrating Technology Ideas
If you are interested, I can provide a training on various student friendly websites to start blogging or iPad apps for student creations. Dive in and give it a try!
