Tech Tuesday Tools and Tech Trainings 3/17/15

Hey guys and girls! Just a quick update and some great Tech Tuesday Tools! I will be having Tech training in my room (in the Kinder pod) every Wednesday starting next week from 3:15-4:15 (unless there is a staff meeting, etc). I will share different tools each week. Please don’t hesitate to request training on a certain topic or if you need resources or help troubleshooting. I am here to help. Here is a tentative rundown of trainings:

Weds 3/25 - Google Drive - Teacher Command Center
Weds 4/1 - Google Hangouts
Weds 4/8 - Multipurpose Apps
Weds 4/15 - Literacy and Math Tools
Weds 4/22 - Google Forms
Weds 4/29 - Twitter Chats
Weds 5/6 - Coming Soon!
