York Summer Institute 2018

I'll be presenting in York, ME at the Summer Institute. It's an awesome venue with amazing teachers from 3 different districts. You can catch many great presenters and a wide variety of classroom topics, technology offerings, and exceptional professional development. Summer PD on the Coast of Maine, not a bad way to spend the day!

I'll be presenting about Using Google Tools as Assistive Technology for All Learners and Using Read & Write by TextHelp in your classroom.

See you there!

Sharing what is happening in Maine this August 2018

Although I've been retired since December 2017, I am still in the loop, so to speak! Today, I am presenting at EdTech207 at the University of Maine at Farmington. One session is about Curating Student Resources, the other is about Creating an Online Presence. I am excited to share how classroom teachers can dip their toes into the digital waters of sharing and collaboration and still keep their curriculum, their themes, their ideas all continuing in their classrooms.  By just adding one new tool, one new share, one Twitter, one Instagram the ripples will reach far away places. What are the benefits to their students? Doors will open wide and far and students' voices will be heard and make a difference in theirs and our digital world.  What are you adding to your classroom this summer?
