Tip #1: Using the Hubbard Woods Resource Center Page

Happy New School Year!

Welcome to what will be a weekly technology tip that will be delivered to your mailbox each Tuesday this year.  The goal of this set of tips is help you access the overwhelming amount of new technology that is out there. 




In addition to receiving these updates in your mailbox, you can also access them at your leisure on the T4 Blog.  Just click on the T4 link to see all tips in one place.



This week's tip is mostly a way for you to know where you can access tips in the future.  I've built a  website that will house all the tech tips for the year.  You can then access these tips at your leisure when you need them.  I hope that you find the website and the tips helpful. 

The best part of these weekly tips might not be the actual tip.  The best part will be the suggestions made by you, the experts, on how to make these tips work in the classrooms.  So, please be sure to visit the site and leave your suggestions for how to use the tip in the comments.  This will make the whole site much more interactive for all of us.

If you have a request for something that you would like me to focus on in an upcoming weekly tip, please send me a note and I'll be happy to do that in the future.

I will try to add a short video of me demonstrating these tips each week when possible for those of you, who like me, need to 'see' it in order for it to make sense.

 I know that I have experienced the frustration that the person in the video below is feeling.  How about you?

Thank you and I look forward to a magnificent year!

Welcome to Todd's Tuesday Technology Tips Page!

Welcome!

The goal of this blog is to offer weekly tips that teachers can apply immediately in their classrooms.  Please use the comment section of this blog to offer your suggestions on how you implement these tools.  In that way, we can all share in the process of learning together. 

I am a visual learner.  Because of this, I will attempt to put a video along with teach written tip description.  This will give you another look at how the tip can be integrated. 

Good artists copy, great artists steal.

Teaching truly is an art.  And in the name of art, I must say that many of these tips have come from my own perusing of blogs and websites.  I will always try to attribute the original author if I can.  Let me start by saying that the best tech tip website I've seen is Tammy's Tech Tips.
Throughout this year, I will share some tips that came directly from Tammy, and I'll try to remember to say so when I do.  


One last note, please feel free to e-mail me with a wondering.  If there's something you would like to learn how to do (how do you use QR Codes for example) let me know and I'll create a T4 on it for you and all of our other readers.  Again, please use the comment section to share with others your questions, ideas or thoughts.


Sincerely,
Todd
