  • Learning at #TXeducamp in Denton, Texas

    Today I had the opportunity to learn with a great group of innovative educators in Denton, Texas, at the first (annual?) #TXeducamp. At most educational conferences I attend these days, including EdCamps, I find it more helpful and beneficial (both personally and from a sharing standpoint) to tweet my learning rather than post it only…

  • Advice for Teachers Starting with Classroom Blogging

    Today was the first day of EdCampVoxer, and I’ve loved the conversations in several of the rooms including “Making as Learning,” “Let’s explore blogging- writing and reading for professional growth!,” and “Green Screen Videos.” This morning and afternoon, I collected many of the shared links from the Green Screen discussion and organized them in a Google…

Check out the Twitter hashtag #TMISTE15 to see some of the shared learning from today’s event. Both Kyle and Ben discussed what is unique about the TeachMeet model and…

    Our annual OTA (Oklahoma Technology Association) and EncycloMedia Conference is this week on Tuesday and Wednesday in Oklahoma City, and I’ll be co-presenting and sharing three different sessions. Here are the links to the slides and referenced resources for each session. I’ll likely audio-record these for later sharing on my secondary “Fuel for Educational Change…

  • Create Embeddable Twitter List with List.ly

    This evening I created a linked list of sponsors for EdCamp Broken Arrow (coming up this Saturday just outside Tulsa, Oklahoma) using List.ly. This was SO much faster and easier than “creating the list by hand” on the event WordPress site. That tedious process involved saving images of each sponsor logo locally, uploading each image…
