    A running record calculator. Won't help you count it or MSV it, but could be helpful.

    If math is not your strong suit, or if you just want to save a couple of minutes.

    This app has lots of potential but if you're running windows 7 64-bit, it seems you should avoid this one.

      ie Can-Do descriptors, especially important for ELLs
  • Use classroom helpers or “employees” to help you run the room so you are free to teach.
  • use proximity and language to sort out what’s happening. Do it with a neutral tone of voice and with a smile on your face whenever possible.

  • Design lessons and activities that give kids freedom, choice and fun.
  • Collaborate like crazy. Great teachers are social, reflective, proud but not egotistical and always open to improvement.
  • Teacher burnout isn’t a myth, it’s a reality.
  • Carve out two nights a week and one whole weekend day for yourself and nothing else.
  • Have courage to teach boldy, with creativity, and beyond the test.
  • Go forward and do that thing you were born to do: TEACH!

blog coaching teachers using technology edtech

  • The public perceives education as of the government. The public is demanding better education options. The public is asking for real progress in the way of education reform. And yet, the government is now sitting on the sidelines waiting till next year.
  • To those lawmakers who claim to be education advocates and committed to real change in education -- take education off your lipservice list and put it on your to-do list. Stop using education and education investment as a bargaining chip to get your other deals done.
  • However, without a concerted effort to "place bets" on the ideas that have the potential to transform education, how can we ever expect to "hit it big" when it comes to education technology?

  • Edhtena is a technology platform that's focused on schools. And yet, schools sometimes don't have the right technology upgrades to support technology like Edthena.  Sure, the computers are powerful enough. Sure, the internet bandwidth is there. But the software -- mainly the browser -- that users have may not deliver the best experience.  This is why we're so excited by Microsoft's announcement to automatically update Internet Explorer for all users. LOTS of schools are still running LOTS of computers with Windows XP with old versions of IE. Now, teachers won't have to worry about what version software they have. And IT departments won't have to worry about capacity to update everyone over time.  Everybody wins here. Thank you, Microsoft.

    I'm biased because this blog is from my childhood best friend's older brother (whew), but he has a really cool start-up company that is focused on educational technology and, further, on using technology to provide teachers feedback. Adam is a TFA alum, originally from Virginia Beach, who is passionate about teaching and helping teachers improve their craft. Worth checking out!
