If you use Google Chrome as your main internet browser, as you should, you may have run into situations where you had to switch to a different Google account. There is a way to add an account while in Gmail or other apps but this is not the best way to do this as it…
I am a firm believer that video is a powerful tool in the classroom, both for the students and for the teacher. I am not talking about just watching a video for 45 minutes and hoping that the students took something away but video in the sense of how many are not using it. We…
One of things I took away from ITEC this week was some advice from Brian Abeling (@wdmTECH) about how they developed their tech newsletter for teachers.

After attending the ICTE conference yesterday (Iowa Council of Teachers of English) in Johnston and teaching some physics yesterday and today, I am very much ready for the ITEC conference on Monday. I am a big proponent of going to education conferences as long as you focus on how you can improve as an educator…
Kaizena was updated lasted night and is now accessible as an Add-on through Google Docs. For those that are new to Kaizena, it is a way to leave voice and text comments in a Google Doc as well as include resources and tags related to the learning. Leaving effective feedback should be a goal of…
