Yesterday I had my technology integration meeting, and I just have to say, I LOVE THIS GROUP! Not only are they a "sounding" board for me, as they have the same frustrations I have, they are such gal darn amazing people that I ENJOY THEM IMMENSELY!!!! Each time we meet, we go around and talk about the what's happenings in each district to get a feel for things. Sometimes it's curriculum, like in our case, sometimes it's departmentalizing at grades we NEVER thought imaginable (1st and 2nd), and sometimes it's just "Hey, we're going to try and do this, how can we help?" kinds of things. We ALWAYS end the session with anything neat and new that we have discovered or have been using which might help others.
Here is what was shared and rediscovered:
Random Trivia Generator - THIS ONE IS NEAT - THANKS D!!! This is really just a site that has trivia on it - random at that. Choose a category, and then click on the question to reveal the answer - that simple!!
Flipgrid - I FORGOT ABOUT THIS ONE!! It's such a neat way to give voice to the kids that don't like to talk in class, yet hold everyone responsible for sharing answers, ideas, etc... You simply create a flipgrid, and the answers have to be videos - yup - videos - super easy and super fun:!)
WeVideo - I didn't know about this one either, as we have iMovie, but if you have Chromebooks, THIS IS A MUST! I guess it is like iMovie but WAY BETTER! Check this one out - it's free for PARTS of it, but like all great things, paid version gets you the best!
On a SUPER FUNNY note - we did Turkey Bingo today at Barnesville High School. Teachers have BINGO cards, and the last four minutes of each hour the entire school played BINGO. If a student BINGOed, they had to run to the office gobbling and walking like a turkey - here's a visual for you:)!
Happy Thanksgiving all - enjoy your time off to rejuvenate for the remainder of 2019!!
