are your summer goals? This summer, I'm focusing on improving my own technology proficiency. It started yesterday with familiarizing myself to Gmail - it only took me the entire morning to figure out how to login to my new Lindbergh account, and then I determined how to merge my Google Calendar from my personal account into my work one. I was quite proud! And, I'm determined to master all of these Google Docs, including Google +.
But today, is all about making my blog better so that I can enrich your interaction with it. Hopefully, by the time we return for school, I will be using the Blog to enrich your conversations about teaching and learning and using it for "Flipped Faculty Meetings." Let's see if I reach this goal by the end of the summer.
But for now, here's what I've learned:
1) How to embed videos into the Blog. Let's face it; I'm in summer mode so it's much more fun to post a video from my windy summer travels in Ireland than it is to post something about school :) However, beware, because now I know how to do it and that means your classrooms will be appearing here soon!
2) Adding Gadgets!!!! Now you can search the blog for ideas and you can sign up to follow the blog. By following the blog, you'll be emailed any new posts - this keeps you from having to look for new posts on your own. And oh oh! I've also learned how to use my labels better so that you can easily find topics of interest.
I hope you have fun with these blog updates - and consider, how can students blog in your classroom?
