The EdTech Connection
Weekly updates on what's happening in EdTech: 09 Jan 2018
Start the Semester HAPPY
Even though this is from 2015, the 30-Day Happy Teacher Challenge is still a great way to build positive relationships with those at your school. They might take some adapting if you are no longer in the classroom, but the effort will be worth it. With 30 days of "challenges" to promote happiness, it will just about get you through to Spring Break!
Check it out HERE (from Presto Plans).
Need more inspiration?
If you're looking for even more inspiration, We Are Teachers has put together a monthly calendar for all of 2018 with something to do each M-F of the month, grouped around a theme for each month. January's theme is Brain Breaks!
Check it out HERE.
Cool Tools to Try
Over the weekend, Jennifer Gonzalez of Cult of Pedagogy published her blog on "6 Ed Tech Tools to Try in 2018." Some are old favorites of mine, but others are brand-new and seem really promising! Check it out HERE and let me know what you think!
Feedback Request and an Offer for More
Since July, I've done a lot of training, and not only on SchoolCity! If you've been to any of my training sessions on SchoolCity or Google, would you mind giving me some feedback? Links are below! Also, it would be great for this to be shared with teachers so that I can get their input as well.
In addition, if you'd like for me to come to your school to work with individual teachers, small groups, or PLCs on any of the trainings listed or request your own, just let me know!
