Please check out my 3 updates to see what happened during this project before reading the rest of myContinue reading “Major Project Update- Final Post”
Who doesn’t love a good classroom game to review? I sure do! I was first introduced to Quizizz by my students earlier this year. I was a bit confused as to why they were using it during tech time until I found out they were making quizzes to test each other. I had tried BlooketContinue reading “Major Project- Quizizz”

I must admit that I don’t go directly to any news siteContinue reading “Deciphering Fake News in the 21st Century”
If you would have asked me before I took any EdTech classes ” What does it mean to be digitally literate?” I probably would have responded with something along the lines of: ” It means you know how to use technology.” Now, I understand there is a lot more to digital literacy than being ableContinue reading “What Does it Mean to be Digitally Literate?”
