Screen Shot 2019-02-06 at 8.38.56 AM

A couple of months ago, I had blogged about how BHS received two Jamboards through a grant from Google and BenQ – you can view that blog post HERE. Since that time, we have had an opportunity to investigate how we could implement Jamboard in the classrooms. This blog post will highlight five different ways, in five different settings, on how we have used Jamboards in the educational setting. This blog post is a bit longer than usual but feel as though it is important to truly capture just how we have been using the new tool. My hope is that it will help inspire you to trying Jamboard with your own students.

Day 4 of Google 2018: 3 YouTube Tips & Shortcuts

Number 1: Autoplay

Do you hate it when videos will automatically play after you finished watching a YouTube video? Did you know that you can stop that? On the top right corner, there is a button that you can turn off so that “autoplay” is turned off.

10 Days of Google 2018

It is that time of year. For 10 straight work days, starting Monday December 10, 2018, I will add a blog post of random tips, tricks, or ideas with G-Suite. Many of us have been using Google for several years. However, with Google changing constantly, sometimes as users, we don’t realize what is available or what has been added/changed. My hope is that over the course of these 10 days, you will find something new that will help save you time or enhance what you already do in your role. 

If you have any tips, ideas, or suggestions, let me know!

When Field Trip + Curriculum + Technology Work

Screen Shot 2018-10-12 at 4.42.30 PMTwo weeks ago, I had the pleasure of chaperoning a science field trip to the Boston Museum of Science. What I am most impressed about from this field trip is that students and teachers are not ‘just taking a field trip’. The science teachers have thoughtfully thought through learning objectives and activities for the students to participate in while at the museum. It was great to see true collaboration in action as well as thoughtful integration of technology at the same time. Very proud moment for bulldogs for sure.

Changing things up this time around as I have a co-blog post writer, Leah Morrissey, Biology Teacher at Bedford High School, who has helped me write the following.
