EdTechTeacher (Brenda T - Thanks for the link that helped me find other awesome stuff and put off the work I should have been doing!)

I would just like to tell all of you that I about a 5 minute attention span and am procrastinating grading my history tests.

 I am always looking for resources that not only pull in technology into the classroom, but also can help me!  It is selfish, but reinventing the wheel is not what we have time to do as educators.  That is why Brenda T....you have not only helped me procrastinate, might havejust  saved me some time in the process (ohh....the irony).

So, here I find her original tweet/post.

Great, since I am on a laptop, what can I do with this (apps don't exactly work for our technology....but I understand the 7th Grade Teachers would like this)?  So, instead of grading those pesky tests, I clicked on the link and explored the website.  I am so glad that I did.  Now there are no silver bullets here, but they have it made uber simple for all of us techies and those that feel like the Amish among us with the technology mandate.

So here is the short of it.  Instead of cruising around on the website, if you click this link....
http://edtechteacher.org/tools/

It will take you to a page that has helpful links and tabs based on subject or activity.  Here are some examples of some of the tabs there are more than I could include on this screen shot.


It also has links (tabs) by subject area.  Please take a moment to look at this if you have time during conferences.  There is some really neat stuff here.  Even some that has been reviewed already on this blog.  Procrastinate away!!!!

As always, please fill out the sheet below if you have anything you would like to share.  I would challenge you to find one thing off of this website and try it this week.  You might be surprised how easy tech integration might be!
