End of the year....
Technology tidbits and happenings....
Don't forget.....
I will be working throughout the summer, until June 30th. If you would like help with anything post planning, or pre planning, send a message to: debbie@ksuiteach.org! I can help with back to school lessons, fliers, newsletters, etc. Also, it's not to late to take a look at tools that you might want to learn to use for next year. If you aren't using Sora, this is one app that you, and your students will love. Let me know if you want to learn more about it!
Summer Summit 2019!!!!
Don't you just love conferences that are fun, engaging, and interactive? We do! We will be hosting our first, annual instructional technology conference this summer. The conference will be held a couple of days before teachers have to return to school. It won't interfere with your summer relaxation or those fun vacations you have planned! Be sure to reserve your spot! You don't want to miss this fun event! To learn more: https://iteach.kennesaw.edu/summersummit.php
Getting ready for summer....
When I think about summer, I think about travel. Whenever I am in my car, I usually listen to podcasts. One of my favorite podcasts is from themoth.org. The Moth offers stories that are written by ordinary folks. The stories are original, well written, and thought provoking. There are so many podcasts on so many subjects. Be sure to check out the iTeach podcast where you can hear entertaining guests talk about topics such as edtech and personalized learning. You can check it out here: https://anchor.fm/ksuiteach There are also so many places to listen to podcasts. I listen to my podcasts at: https://tunein.com/ It is free...which is why a like it.
The other thing that I like to do in the summer is get outside! I usually have time to take long walks. One thing that I use to keep up with when, where, and how far I go is Google Timeline. If you have a Google account and have the location turned on, you already have a Google Timeline. Do a search in Chrome for Google Timeline. Your timeline should come up. It is so interesting to see ALL of the places that you have been!
Cleaning up your Google Classroom...
I recently came across this while looking at some end of the year topics. I have always thought about physically cleaning up my space, but not my online classroom. The speaker talks about some ways that she cleans up her Google Classroom. I thought that this might be helpful as you get ready for the summer break.

To all of the Moms out there.....
A special thank you.....
As many of you know, KSU will not be working in Henry County Schools next year. I would like to thank you all for the hospitality and kindness you have shown to me. You all are an amazing group of educators, and I feel honored to have worked with you. Thank you for everything that you do for your students! I wish you all continued success! Have a wonderful, relaxing summer break! Debbie Turner
