Digital Word Walls?!?

Yes, you read that correctly! Digital Word Walls! Using Padlet (has a free version, but also some paid resources) you can create and embed a digital word wall for students to interact with!

Taken directly from the blog article!

Here is an awesome Blog entry from Zanner History that explains how to do it, it even has screenshots! Best of all, it even has ideas of how you can use it in your classroom! Let me know if you need help in this or better yet if you tried it!

Think that Word Walls are only for elementary, NO they are not, if you teach content and have vocabulary your student can benefit from this!

Youtube Chanel to Follow: Epic Reads!

I follow a lot of different forms of media in blogs, social media, and YouTube. This post is about a super valuable YouTube Channel called Epic Reads ! Now, I know that it is not a technology post, however I am using Technology to keep up to date with current book trends and this is one of those ways! I like it because it talks about adult book and teen book trends and the vlogger (video blogger) is not too annoying, I can handle her talking, in fact if I was in a classroom I would use the December 2017 Book Haul (at around the 1:30 mark) to talk about trigger books and how books can have themes that really grip the reader. Some other channels that I follow are: Google for Education -I have spammed you before about this one, however I feel like highlighting again the EDU in 90 sessions. They only take about a minute and a half of your time to look at features of the G Suite! Origin of Everything -This is a relatively new one. It is PBS branching out into YouTube land. They...

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?

As a child of the 80's and 90's I absolutely LOVED this game! I remember fighting my brother over who got to play this on our PC growing up. Checking out Almanacs from the library just so that I could try to solve the questions that were given. Watching the game show on PBS: Man, that song was really catchy! Then on one of our many snow/cold days Roland and I discovered that Netflix had released their own animated version to answer the question: Who really is Carmen Sandiego? Then, it just got better! If you saw the latest Google for Education Newsletter, XVIII, March 2019 you may have seen what I saw: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Google have created an interactive quiz that takes your students across the globe to find clues and solve the mystery of the Crown Jewels caper:  Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?   Melding the world of Google Earth and the classic game we remember (it's even pixelated like we remember!) Students get to interview different peopl...

New App Alert! Wakelet

During the latest days off due to cold/snow I caught up with some of the latest podcasts. During The Google Teacher Tribe's  January 28, 2019 episode-App Smashing with G Suite  I learned about this newer tool Wakelet . What is it? It is a digital curation tool. You can add multiple articles, images, videos, etc. to one page (or wake) and share one page on your Google Classroom. Create a wake for each unit of study or for a research project. You as a teacher can use this tool this year, if you want students they need to be 13 or have a permission slip according to their Terms of Conditions . If this is a tool that you may want to use with your students you can still fill out the Web 2.0 permission form . Resources Wakelet Help Tutorials -this is a super informative playlist on how to access the different features of Wakelet. I know many times it is easier for me to see and hear someone else do it before attempting to do it myself. 12 Curation Ideas for Teac...
