Technology here I come!

Today our Winskill staff was blessed to have the fabulous Missy Emler come to school and train is on creating Facebook pages for our classrooms. She taught us all the tricks she has learned so we can share our classroom worlds with parents, grandparents, and community members. Missy has recently taken a new position at CESA 3. She has a contest going on where you can win a book called Teach like a Pirate just by liking her CESA#3 Facebook page. In order for anyone to win the book her CESA#3 Facebook page must get 300 likes by the end of the contest. Check it out and like her page. Who knows you might be the lucky winner and if not Missy shares a lot of great and useful information on the page. 

I have also ventured into the world of Google Docs and I am loving it. It is so nice to be able to work from anywhere on my creations. No more flash drives!  I attempted using Google Docs last year but I could not wrap my head around the formatting and application of the tools. This year as I attempted using Google Docs again the formatting and application of tools seems to be coming to mech easier. I still have a lot to learn about what features Google Docs has to offer but I am really enjoying what I know now and how it works for my classroom.

Our principal has informed us that there are going to be many technology trainings like the Facebook training we received today. I am so excited to learn all about different technology that can helps students to learn. A big thank you to Mrs. Whitford, our principal, and all others who are going to make these technology trainings possible!
