​Connecting to Today's Students

Fear is NOT the way to live.  So much can be accomplished through FaceBook, Twitter, and Texting.  How can you make a positive impact on students’ lives (and even parents for that matter!) through a positive, mature use of technology?  It’s easy!

I am a technology junkie...  There I admit it.  BUT I have come to realize that all the technology in the world will never, ever replace the relationships between educators and students.  Soooo....

GREAT Article to hit Twitter/Web today!  Time important to you?  Please click HERE  And here is just a quick section...
  • Time for my students. In the classroom we have so much to do, so little time. Teachers often focus on cover all the curriculum that they forget their true purpose: educating children.

Time to process their learning, time to understand WHY they might be acting out, time to listen to THEIR concerns, time to HEAR their desires. All Teachers need to slow down and remember they are CHILDREN that need our time. Forgetting test scores and political mandates, teachers need to go with their guts and give students TIME.

Augmented Reality???

  • Google Cardboard?
  • Rollar Coasters?
  • Coloring Books?
  • Anatomy?
  • Heart Cam!
  • Heart Cam Download to Print
  • Heart Cam App
