September 2- Write about 1 piece of technology that you would like to try to incorporate this year into your curriculum.
Well, seeing as though I am a technology teacher and I use technology every day with my classes, I have to think a bit about this one!
This year, now that google classrooms are open, I started using it with my students. I am not sure how I want to continue with it, but so far so good. I did use Moodle and Edmodo, but now that google classrooms is available, I see no need to go elsewhere for my learning management system.
Technology for myself would be to blog and to possibly try blogging with my students. This blogging experiment would be interesting, as we have not used it previously, but it is available to our students, as we are a google school. I think I need to work out some kinks and want to figure out some precautions before we go "live".
I would also like to try google maps engine this term with my 8th grade students and possibly my 7th graders to make and figure out distance from place to place. I think it would be a fun activity. Maybe use timetoast to create timelines and also some thinglink images with research based reporting.
For now, I really plan on working deeply with digital citizenship and creating some informational Public Service Announcements.

Best wishes for blogging with your students. I would love to do the same. This is my first time hearing of TimeToast. I'll have to check that out!
