Kickoff...

  • What motivated you to become a tech nerd this summer?
I feel like there are a lot of new exciting educational tools coming out and I want to learn how to better seamlessly incorporate them in my classroom. I am getting a set of classroom Chromebooks next year and want to hit the ground running. (I also love Emily Hope). 
  • What you hope to learn about in Tech Nerd Camp 2.0?
New tools and apps to better engage my students in the exciting world of historical skills! I want to use the technology to enhance the learning, not just for technology's sake. 
  • How would you describe your current comfort level with technology?  What tools do you use already in your classroom (if any)?
I use Chromebooks (Google Docs, Screencastify) and Ipods in the classroom (Google Earth, Kahoot!), but feel I could be integrating more into my classroom. I am pretty comfortable and will search things out for myself (when I have the time).
