Technology Tips for allEach Month I post video technology tips for all educators K-12 to my Youtube channel. In addition to my Youtube channel, I post them onto my blog listed on my website page.
These tips are less than five minutes usually and provide a simple solution to integrating technology into any educators classroom. |
Blended Classroom I have recorded many lessons for my students to view before class begins over the past two years in order to use my instructional time wisely.
In addition to viewing the content before hand, it allows my struggling students to review the content that was previously taught in class as well. My parents also love the fact that they can view the content that their child is learning in class on a weekly basis. |

21st Century Grant work
Our school was rewarded with a 250,000 dollar middle school grant a few years ago that allowed our district to purchase many laptop carts, desktops, smart boards and other excellent learning tools for the classroom. It also allowed me to be hired through the grant as the district's technology integration coach. This experience was very rewarding as I was able to implement Google Apps, Smart Notebook Software, Web 2.0 tools and many other great technology to support learning outcomes in all K-12 classrooms. This allowed me to work with some of our great teachers throughout the district in all subject areas designing lessons to integrate technology for their curriculum. Our school was a high performing school before technology came into the building, but now I feel we are really preparing our kids for their future by using it daily. I'm real proud to be a small part of the change that has taken place over the past five years at South Central. |
The Grant application to the left is for Voya. I applied trying to convert my classroom into a CollaborationSpace. The classroom would be transformed with Nodes chairs in order to arrange more of a collaborative work environment for everyone. The idea was to use the room for my classroom, professional development and community learning. I believe the future of learning will take place with others and future workplaces will be open instead of large offices. Unfortunately, I didn't get the grant and was awarded no money. The grant below showcases a grant I was able to be apart of that had a major impact on our school.
