Long Time No Blog

Greetings Teacher Leaders!!!

It's been a while since we were on the mountain... hope you are all doing well as we barrel towards winter break. I'm writing to you from a session at the National Staff Development Council (now known as Learning Forward) called "Hooked on 'Tronics-the ABCs of Technology and Professional Learning"... so far we've used Poll Everywhere and set up a Delicious account- sound familiar? I'm optimistic that I'll leave the session with new resources and/or new applications for resources we already know.

I'm posting a seperate blog entry where you can report on the conversation you've had with a "non-education" person about education- remember, that's part of your "next steps" to be done for Session 3 so if you  haven't done it yet, there's still time.

Keep checking getaflipchart for updates and resources for our Personal Learning Networks!

Web 2.0 Advent Calendar

Hey Everyone,

December first is here which means the Holidays are in full swing!! I would like give all my teacher institute friends a little cyber holiday present.

I keep track of a blog called iLearn Technology, which has given me a wealth of tech innovation and information since I began following in July. Today's blog is all about digital advent calendars for the classroom. I invite you all to check them out, they are pretty cool! What I found for you guys, though is an advent calendar created on Wix, by the author of this blog. It is a Web 2.0 Advent Calendar. It is so adorable and December first already has a cool Web 2.0 tool that is becoming more and more popular.

Anyway, I hope you all find this entertaining and informative, and I wish you all the best during the close of the semester.

Happy Holidays and thank you iLearn Technology!!!
