"Welcome to the Books Go Global space! We will use this space to share and post our multimedia book reviews so that everyone can enjoy them! We will be using VoiceThread to create our reviews, but are open to using different tools as the year progresses and new tools are developed. Right now, this project is being conducted in English with fourth grade classes around the world, but we would love to open it up to other age ranges and languages over the course of the year. We are actively looking for more partners, so please feel free to sign up here! Once you've signed up, check out the teacher planning page to see how to get started."

" Looking for hands-on training on Tech Tuesday topics? Here is a quick tip to use the archive videos as a hands-on, just-in-time, training tool: Open two browser windows side-by-side (one for the tool you plan to learn (if using an online tool like SharePoint or WordPress) and the other with the Tech Tuesday list of archives.) OR open the desktop application and a browser window with the Tech Tuesday archive list. Click on the link for the Tech Tuesday archive you want to view (make sure your speakers are on or use a headset) Pause the archive to try a task demonstrated and try that task in your the appropriate window. You can then hit the play button when ready to continue. You can also move the scroll bar to either review or skip ahead."

Nice, help at your own speed!
