Join my Google Classroom for Tech Training
Your FIRST task is to JOIN! And I am giving no instructions other than this- if you have NEVER used Google Classroom before, make sure you say you are a TEACHER when you first go in. Just do it, as they say! Let's see how many participants we can get on this week!
There will be an opportunity to earn prizes throughout this experiment for those who participate, so jump on in!
Follow Friday- #GoogleET
Also, I cannot recommend highly enough the Google Certified Educator Program. It is packed with great strategies and information. If you enjoy using GSuite, you should definitely take a look and see about becoming a Google Certified Educator yourself!
PS. I am now a Google Certified Trainer!
#FISDchat - drop in and say hi!
If you need some advice on how to participate in a Twitter Chat, you can check out the DLC Melting Pot here or check out one of these videos to see how it works!
PD Opportunity- All Roads Lead to Web 2.0 (Online)
Want to expand your repertoire of various online Web 2.0 tools/apps and to utilize these tools (hands-on) in the classroom but just do not have the time to sit or the opportunity to apply what you learned in an after school staff development? Join us for this ONLINE technology workshop conducted through the FISD Staff Learning Hub. This course will consist of 3 modules utilizing two online Web 2.0 tools/apps per module. Each module will allow you to explore specific online Web 2.0 tools with resources on how to use these tools as well as integration ideas. You will be required to submit products utilizing these online tools (per module). You may complete as many modules as you would like and two hour of non-contract professional development hours for each module completed will be earned. This course is designed for classroom teachers only.
Please know, on 06Feb, we will have an online session through Blackboard Collaborate (more information will be forthcoming). It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you attend this session as we will be discussing the Moodle platform as well as general questions and answers.
Please sign up through Eduphoria:
