Tech Tips For Teachers

Would you like a free E Book filled with superb, cutting-edge tech tips for teachers?

It's here!

I'm honored to be included in this generous E Book, where you'll find many ways to incorporate tech into the classroom, including:

•   Use an ipad to snap a picture of the whiteboard, and allow students to study it at their own pace.
•   Use safeshare.tv. to copy YouTube links and convert them into watchable videos in the class.
•   Use gmail's "translate message" to send notes to parents in a different language.

And my own tip on how to relax in the 21st century:

When a child needs time out, lead them gently to the "cloud" where they can put on headphones and click on the MP3 icon on a desktop.

Let them float away to the sound of a soothing voice counting, with a relaxing instrumental and hypnotic beat.  They will return refreshed and ready...and knowing their numbers.

Also, open a desktop folder of each child's favorite photos, including photos of themselves smiling and focused, and let them scroll through for inspiration.

That, and much more.  Enjoy!
