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.

YouTube Transcripts

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!

Gratitude A-Z journal

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.

Don't Feed the Phish

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.
