What if? Video

In today's session, we looked at apps and web-based tools to enrich student's understanding of craft and composition. We created What If...? videos to demonstrate how to harvest stories from seed ideas.

Fostering Reading with Technology

Yesterday, I had the privilege of facilitating Fostering Reading with Technology. This workshop was designed for elementary educators and teacher-librarians who wished to explore how the thoughtful integration of technology can enhance deeper comprehension and fluency of read texts. We closely examined how digital technologies can positively impact students’ literacy skills, personal expression and creativity, and facilitate collaboration and differentiation.

School Libraries Infused With Technology

Today, I had the honour of facilitating School Libraries Infused with Technology. This workshop was designed for teacher-librarians who are seeking ways to enrich technology use in the school library or teachers wanting to create a technology-rich classroom. We examined ways to enhance learning and deliver state-of-the-art service using current, freely available technologies including apps, web-based tools, and social media. Collaboration, organizational, and presentation tools, as well multimedia production and makerspaces were explored.

The investigated tools have been curated on an EduClipper board. Click on the slider to view the entire board.

The Journey Ends!

Today, the fourth Eclectech Educator Evite summer email has been sent! As the beginning of the school year is approaching, I hope you have found the freebies in the Evites to be useful in your preparation and organization. 

All freebies are samples of my work. The full documents can be purchased through my TPT store.

I will be facilitating three STF Summer Short Courses next week. Join me in one or more of these courses: Fostering Reading in The Elementary Grades Using Technology, Fostering Writing In The Elementary Grades Using Technology, and School Libraries Infused with Technology.

Feedback is appreciated. Please take a moment to comment. I would love to receive comments regarding the possibility of a Fall Evite and freebies you would like included.
