Google, Google, Google, Google
Love it, Love it, Love it, Love it
Today opened my eyes to the many possibilities and tools that can be used in Google to create, translate, research, etc. I see myself spending and experimenting with these vast tools that can make my life so much more easy. I hope to engage those I lead with informative and creative materials using Google tools. I have a feeling this site will become my friend....

- If you have any useful Google tool suggestions besides those G shared with us today, please let me know. I'm trying to fill my "toolbox" with as much as I can by Friday.

Notes/Reflections/Thoughts:
3 prong approach to teaching staff expectations of technology use
- Clear, concise administrative expectations stated repeatedly
- Give staff time, resources and support to enable them to use the tech you would like to see them use
- One-on-one support---conversation to show the benefits
- Website that posts videos of teachers teaching
(Mac) "command and +"
(PC) "control and +"
MODEL, MODEL, MODEL during PD using technology---get staff excited and build culture of technology. Have PD in computer lab. Give them multiple resource(s) to look at and let them explore and share what they learned.
