See how easy it is to create diagrams, icons, and works of art using Google Drawings.
This presentation is based on a presentation I created for The Den.

I’m currently teaching “Tech Zone” in the summer program, and it gives me the opportunity to experiment with different tech tools. One of my favorites, that the children love is the Green Screen app by DoInk. It is $2.99 and worth every penny. Below are the short movies first graders made this week. It is really simple to use and you can create some great movies.
The map making instructions include a link to the regions of Malaysia handout and rubric. Karen’s class did a wonderful job on their maps, and she has collected them on the Padlet below.
I’m very excited to be speaking at the first Global edLeadership Summit (GeLS) in Bangkok. My topic is “Expanding Your Influence,” in the context of building or growing on campus programs. Session Resources:

How can we make professional learning more contextual, more personalized, and more connected to student learning? Session ResourcesIn order of use during session:

I created this poster for our EduTech team, with Suji, Max & myself. The idea was inspired by Ben Summerton‘s legendary KIS EdTech Team posters, like the one I’ve included at the end of this post.
This particular idea was obviously inspired by the psychedelic rock posters from the ’60s. Included in the poster is a tip of the hat to the magic of Jerry Garcia & Janis Joplin. I am forever grateful for the tutorials I used to create the poster. You can really learn to do just about anything on YouTube.
Below is the slide deck the counseling and tech departments used for our most recent parent meeting. Included are many great resources parents can use to support them with technology use in their home. Thank you Stephanie Stone, Chris Wright, and Max Wright for the opportunity to collaborate, and for making this event a success. Please copy and use my bottle volume calculator. This is one of those times that the spreadsheet skills I often teach can be put to a very practical use. I have been homebrewing for a few years now, and I like to bottle my homebrew using glass bottles that I collect from wherever I can get them. One of the drawbacks of reusing bottles is that I now have many sizes of bottles, with five different volumes. The last time I brewed I calculated the number I needed in my head, and ended up sterilizing about a dozen extra bottles. This time I decided to wash the exact number of bottles I needed (plus one, just in case). I calculated the number of bottles by creating this simple spreadsheet to figure things out for me.
The first is my “Never Played” playlist. It is all the songs in my iTunes library that I have not ever listened to. It is really easy to set up this list.
You can also limit the number of songs in the playlist, which I would recommend if you sync this list to your phone or another device.
My second must have playlist is the “Least Recently Played” playlist. It is the songs in my iTunes library that I have not listened to in the longest time. To set up this list:
What is great about this playlist is that once you play a song it will be removed from the list. The list will always contain the songs that you haven’t heard in the longest time. (You will need to sync your device to your computer for the list to update.)
Feel free to add your favorite playlist in the comments section. |

I currently have about 8,000 songs in my iTunes library, which is over 26 days of music. It is easy to fall into listening the same music over and over. I have two different playlists that I have created to keep my music fresh.
