Tech You Can Do ... this week
November 6, 2023
The following blog is a highlight from "Tech You Can Do", my main blog where I share a more detailed explanation behind my adventures in education. I hope to inspire you to incorporate technology & it enhances the learning in your classroom.
Storage, Clean Up & Recommendations You Can Do
Who wants to clean up their digital spaces? Quite often, it is just an overwhelming task that gets pushed off. When Google announced a limitation to storage, I HAD to do something. I'm sharing my easy peasy tips in this blog. I promise, it's painless.
TYCD: Resources is a companion blog I write designed to be quick overviews of interesting and helpful resources I come across. Be sure to check out the labels on the far right side to better guide your exploration of the resources I've added.
Closed captioning is an impressive tool! I started using it quite a long time ago because I had to keep the volume down while my girls were napping ... and now it feels odd to watching tv shows or YouTube videos without them. But how about creating the transcripts? Not an easy job ... but this resource will make it SUPER easy!
Featured Resources & Activities:
Tech with Littles
2 Thanksgiving themed matching games
Gobble, gobble!
Check out these two ready-to-go Thanksgiving themed activities your littles can do over and over. Post the game links in an easy to access location and allow your kiddos to return to new games each time they click the link.
Templates for Teachers
I'm sharing this one at the beginning of November because it could be a month long writing activity in your classroom. Go through the alphabet one letter at a time and have students share something they are grateful for each day.
Wakelet
November is my favorite month of the year & Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Here is my Wakelet for not just turkey activities, but also thankful ones.
From Someone Else:
This infographic is a great reminder about cybersecurity from a local (to me) EdTech group - Forward Edge. Phishing can be a real problem and schools are big targets. Educate yourself and share this with others.
