Technology Tips and Tricks: March 2015

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!!

I am sticking with my Holiday themes this year as it reminds me to create and post to the tech blog. My goal is to post once a month in the hopes all of you read it :) So, here it is....

The following two websites demonstrate progress. I received an email from an administrator and a teacher to make sure I tell teachers about them. I think that is just AWESOME. It goes back to one of my favorite sayings... “The best resource is each other” so THANK YOU to the people who brought these sites to my attention.

GetKahoot

A great website to create a quiz, survey, and discussion. A game-based classroom response system.

Also, do you know Khan and Bank of America are trying to help students and adults be better with their money? This is a great tool to understanding Financial Literacy. It is free curriculum at your finger tips.
