Hello Everyone and thank you for joining us!  Have a great episode, especially for anyone who teaches math grades K-12 and English in middle and high school!  This week we are spotlighting www.yummymath.com for K-12 math. It’s a fantastic site that offers tons of real world math application problems.  Our shout out this week goes to Blaire Goodson an english teacher at DHS for her iMovie project on tone. We thank you for sharing your time with us and hope you enjoy the show!

Hello listeners and thank you for joining us for another episode of THE BEST ten-minute edtech conversation you’ll hear all week!  This week we are highlighting PrepFactory.com, which is a great tool to help kids prepare for the ACT and SAT.  Our shout-out this week goes to Toni Sellers at the district office.  Wait, a non-teacher getting the shout-out?!  How is this even possible?!  Please join us to find out the really cool way she integrated tech into her work!  As always, we appreciate your support!

Hello and welcome back to another fun episode of #dcsdtransforms.  This week, we have a really neat tool called Quill (check out quill.org for more info).  It’s a great tool for helping students in K-12 to become better writers.  Our shout-out this week goes to Hanna Hanlin from PES.  Thanks for joining us, and hope you enjoy the show!

Hello Everyone and thank you for joining us this week for another sub 15 minute episode!  That’s right, Carla and I are really getting this time thing down when we put our minds to it.  This week we are going to share a bit about Google Slides new feature that allows you to insert video from Google Drive (instead of only from youtube.  Our shoutout this week goes to Julie Hanlin and Michelle Grantham at Carolina Elementary School for their work with BreakoutEDU!  Hope you enjoy the show!

OK, OK, OK, so it is a 1/2 truth for all those that are looking at the time. Sure, it shows up at 11 minutes and 15 seconds, but the actual time for the discussion of the podcast (removing outtakes, intro, etc) is actually 9 minutes and 54 seconds! We did it loyal listeners! And we couldn’t have done that without your support and relentless sarcasm about how long our episodes are, so for that, we thank you! In all seriousness, we are trying to be more respectful of your time, so hopefully you will stay with us for years to come! This week, we are highlighting the Grammarly extension in Chrome – a super useful spelling and grammar checker for those things you do online that don’t have a good spelling / grammar checker built in (like Schoology, for example). Our shout out this week goes to Paula Alvarez from HHS for the neat things she is doing with makerspaces. Hope you can join us this week!
