12 Days of #EdTech-mas #EdTech: The Gift of Video

Video is still one the the most power learning tools that teachers use. Now that each student has a device, this offers various possibilities in offering individualized instruction through video through differentiation.

Students can view the video at their own pace. If they need something repeated or need to pause the video, they can do so.

Lessons Learned From Repairing Chromebooks #EdTech

With the implementation of the 1:1 program, we have over 1,700 chromebooks assigned to our students and staff. In 2017, we implemented a student help desk that assists with chromebook repairs.

Over the summer, when I was repairing chromebooks, many parts were salvaged from other chromebooks that were too far gone to repair or were beyond repa...

Elements Of A Stimulating Computing Classroom

It seems paradoxical, but the most boring classrooms tend to be the ones that are full of technology – and little else.
