Teachers Who Understand Learning...

Teachers who understand learning intentionally plan for student engagement. They realize it's not something that happens without work, but neither is learning.

It's Simple: Ask Your Students . . .

I had the pleasure of hearing Shannon Miller speak a couple of weeks ago and her message was simple yet profound: JUST ASK STUDENTS what they THINK, NEED, and WANT. I re-shared this message as the keynote speaker at the Texas Foreign Language Association conference last week. Sensei John Cadena was listening and provided his students that very opportunity today. I wonder if you can use his graphic organizer for gathering student feedback to improve your class room tomorrow? I hope so. Thanks for sharing, John. Check out John's blog here.

Animated Gifs have returned to the scene as a GREAT teaching tool. You can email them, post them on a website or on social media, add them to a document or slideshow, but any way you put them, they're a powerful, succinct way to get across the steps of a technology process. Easy, fun, and FREE! Thanks TechSmith for the great addition to the Chrome browser!

Getting Ready for the Texas Google Summit

The Techs4Tex team spent a fast-paced and exciting day today in Brenham, TX preparing for the upcoming Texas Google Summit coming up May 17, 2104.

We began by laying out the schedule (about 20 concurrent sessions).

Below is Brenham ISD Tech Director Kim Strauss breaking rules by drawing on the table with a dry erase marker, which amazed us all . . .


Also pictured Shepherd ISD's Tech Diva Pam Cadwalder, Brenham ISD Instructional Technology Specialist Troy Kuhn, Coldspring-Oakhurst Consolidated ISD's awesome ELA specialist Laura Kile. There were also a bunch of other awesome people present, just so you know.

We emailed with our keynote speaker Kyle Pace (so excited to have him visit us in TX), and more of our big stars including Shelly Terrell and Tim Chase. We also added a few of these guys who are kind of a big deal to our Lead Learners page, but there are so many amazing presenters sharing their knowledge it was hard to know where to stop.

One of the sessions I'm most excited about is going to be provided by teacher extraordinaire Linda Yollis and her 3rd grade students, literally world famous for their classroom blog.

Also, did you know that TCEA Teacher of the year and White House Champion of Change Tech Ninja Todd Nesloney is going to be presenting? That's right. You sure don't want to miss his and fellow Tech Ninja Stacey Huffine's sessions!


At the end of the day, we visited the beautiful Brenham High School. Check out the amazing auditorium . . .


We're so excited for you to be our guests at this event. We want you to have a great time, to learn a ton, and to feel welcome in the spaces we are working to create for you. We sure hope to see you there!

If you haven't yet heard our spokescow Cher sing, you better check out the video below before you go.
