I Had a Flipiphany!
It wasn’t a real word. Until now. I just made it up, but it’s a real thing so I’m keeping it. A Flipiphany is when you suddenly realize that Flipgrid would be the ULTIMATE tool for doing what you need to do. And that just happened!
About 20 minutes ago, I posted another […]
EdTech on a Field Trip?
As a Technology Integration Specialist, I get all kinds of interesting requests from teachers. They never cease to amaze me with their ideas and the things they want to learn. One of my very favorite unique challenges this year came from one of my first grade teacher friends.

Take the Leap.. to the OneNote for Windows 10 App
Anyone who knows me knows that this sign on my desk is pretty indicative of the way I go about things:
I’m a risk-taking, jump-right-in, what-could-possibly-go-wrong, all-in kind of girl. So when I heard OneNote desktop version is being sunsetted, I just sort of moseyed on over to the Windows 10 app and moved in. I’ve […]

This new phenomena is spurred by some mandatory […]

Minah Minah… #EdLeadership Lessons from a Muppet
Someone shared this video with me this morning, and I haven’t been able to get the song out of my head ever since. I’m pretty sure I just did the same thing to you – sorry! It’s such a catchy little tune and it’s been around since I was a little kid, which means […]
#iiCHAT for Technology Integration Specialist Leaders
I recently gave a technology leadership presentation on “Coaching the Coaches” (see image below).
Most of those in attendance were already Technology Integration Specialists (or tech coaches…we go by SO many different names) who aspire to achieve the next level by becoming recognized as their district’s leader, coordinator, department head, supervisor….or whatever the local title for […]
Five Fun Fairly Free Things For Teachers To Do In the Summer
My fellow teachers, you have a few months “off”. Yes, I know that you still work. We do…we just do…because we’re teachers and we’re addicted to our craft. But this is also an important time for you. It can’t be all work – or even thinking about work. You’ve got to find time for you […]

It’s called ClassroomScreen, and it is precisely that. It is a background screen that you can project and just sort of leave up […]
Audio Experiment with Clash
I’m not sure if or why you might have a use for something like this, but I had a little fun playing with it tonight, and it’s just pretty entertaining.
It’s a website called Clash. You type in a short paragraph or phrase and it takes each word and links it to an audio clip […]
