A new dream, but still technically speaking

Image
The end of the 2020-2021 schools year—April brought an interview and ultimately two offers of employment.  Neither position in education.  This was the first time in YEARS considering positions outside of education. I’d had my “dream” position.  I’d achieved a lot in my educational career… Apple Teacher Google for Education Certified Trainer ISTE Certified Educator Making IT Happen Leader Award Winner Google for Education Innovator And I chose a position that wasn’t with a school/district.  There have been times I’ve wondered if I was letting down those achievements by making the change out of education. Even the bio I’ve used for years, didn’t seem to fit any longer. A huge part of who I am/was - was tied to education. I love my new position! Love it…yet, I still have a few lingering thoughts of where I now belong now within the educational community.  But I’ve realized I will always have a place and belong...just in new ways/levels. I will always have a heart and passion for educatio

6 Months Home

I've been asking this a lot lately, but "Where has the time gone?" Six months ago (plus a little) -- in October 2019, I was in NYC at the Google Innovator Academy. SIX MONTHS ago.  Now I could talk about how different the world is now, but for the focus of today's blog I'll keep the focus on the academy itself. The academy. I honestly can't keep from smiling when I mention it. Wearing my shirts associated with the academy make me feel connected, stronger, and able to do more. My team and cohort are an amazing source of resources, innovation, strength, and smiles. Part of the academy and Google Innovator process is the innovator project. You can visit the past reflections in this blog to give you more of a background. However, here we are at the six month checkin for our Innovator journeys! And actually, this was slotted to have been last month. However, do to COVID-19 we have been given some extensions. So the 6/7 month checkin was completed

Site Review: Typing Club

Image
At my K-12 school we are preparing for a publishing project in which the 4 - 6 graders will type their written stories. In anticipation for this, I looked for a program that could "limber up their fingers". I came upon Typing Club . Typing Club is free! You can try it out without login for a short time using the "get started" tab shown in the above screen shot. Below are two screen shots of inside the program: I set up our school with a school edition account. As the administrator, I was able to set up both teacher and student accounts. Administrators and teachers can assign students to classes, create typing lessons, and have account control (login and password) for students. You can easily print student login instructions and I especially like that the school is assigned a school specific url for students to login ( http://elyria-christian.typingclub.com ).  I think I may have to create a login for myself! I know that my students really enjoye
