#EdTech Thought

• I was recently presented with a little technology coach puzzle. I was given the following scenarios and asked to decide which order I would prioritize them and why. Here they are:
  1. Help a school secretary export a report from Power School to Google Sheets
  2. Help the Principal create and complete a slideshow for a BOE presentation
  3. A teacher approaches me to talk about this cool new app or tool and wants to know more about it
  4. A teacher asks me to teach them about Google Classroom because they want to start using it with their students.

#EdTech Recommendation

• Here’s a first. I would like to share a couple of things I DO NOT recommend, yet you will find people recommending them for podcasting

  • Anchor.FM
  • Blue Snowballs and Yeti microphones
• Be sure you’re locked in for episode 97 where I will give and justify my hardware and software recommendations
