Thank you so much to everyone that participated in our 2016 SAISD Twitter Challenge. I think it is safe to say that everyone gained new knowledge and ideas! It's amazing what you can learn in just a few tweets. That's what makes it so powerful.
I hope that each of you continues to use Twitter as a tool to gather and share information and get connected with your peers, students and parents. It's a great opportunity to shout about the great things you are doing in your classrooms and on your campuses as well as a place to ask for help and feedback. ~ Happy Tweeting! ~
TCEA 2016 has officially started and we are half way through Day 1. I am attending the Google Academy today - I've been to the opening session, a session about how to stream live video through YouTube/Google Hangouts and a session about technology professional development. I've learned something in every class!
Here are 3 tips to get your Monday started off right -
- If you are on Twitter (if you aren't, you should be), check out the hashtags #googleedu and #gafesummit to find some great information about Google and Google Products.
- If you use the Live Event option on your YouTube channel, you can stream a live video feed using a URL, record it and post it directly to your YouTube channel. I haven't tried it yet - I'll keep you posted after I give it a go.
- This one is really for me, but you can certainly benefit from it. I am going to create a google form that lets teachers (or an staff member) request a training they would like to see offered either at the district level or on their campus.
I can't wait for the second half of today. There will be more good stuff to come!
Technology makes is so easy for people to stay connected. Social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest give us the opportunity to share information in real time so we can stay up on what's important to us - family, hobbies, old friends, even technology.
I would love for you to follow me on Twitter, Facebook and/or Pinterest. I'll share new web tools, apps and instructional best practices when using technology in the classroom. I will pin, post, tweet and retweet resources and tools that will assist you as you use technology to increase your productivity and engage students in the classroom.
So if you would please, click on one (or all) of the links in the Let's Connect section of my blog to get information delivered right your social media of choice!
