Historical Selfies
First, I am going to say that I work with some amazingly clever people. Tom Woodward’s and William Berry’s blog posts on Historical Selfies spurred my interest on this project. My only road block was they made their Historical Selfies with Photo Shop. Since our school MacBooks do not have this, I pulled out the […] Continue reading
Calendly – Seamless Scheduling
I ran across an awesome scheduling website that works seamlessly with Google Calendar. It’s called Calendly. Because it’s so easy, I am now switching the way my teachers sign up for meetings, lessons, etc. with me. For teachers, this could be a great way for scheduling parent conferences. To get started, you simply have to […] Continue reading
Animal Movie Trailers
I have literally wanted to do this project with students for over 2 years, but the student computers weren’t fully up to date. A county refresh this past summer, and voilá, iMovie has now been updated. Ms. Armstrong’s class at Seven Pines Elementary had a blast making these projects. Now that the students really understand […] Continue reading

I’ve written three previous posts about it. If you’d like to check those out follow this link. With the […] Continue reading

After lunch, we had the entire afternoon to build and come up with some new strategies and ideas that teachers could use in their classroom. The elementary ITRTs threw togehter this […] Continue reading
Weathering/Erosion Podcast
I had a blast hanging out with the 2nd grade classes at Seven Pines Elementary today! They are just starting their unit on Weathering and Erosion, so I was able to introduce the lesson with the students. We learned how weathering is like a hammer breaking rocks apart, and erosion is like a broom sweeping […] Continue reading
Place Value Comic Life
Students in Mrs. Spivey’s math class have been learning about Place Value to the hundred thousands. Today we broke out good ‘ol Comic Life for review. The students had a blast making their numbers and breaking them down. If you’d like the template to use with your class, send me an email! Continue reading

Teachers on Pintrest
I am not a huge Pinterest Fan–mainly because I can’t cook, and those recipes make me feel dumb. That being said, I do like the Teachers on Pintrest page. It has all types of ideas for lesson plans, classroom decor, technology integration, blogs to follow, and more! My favorite part about this page is that […] Continue reading
