"Webster's defines kaffeeklatsch as "an informal gathering to drink coffee and chat." I feel it is a perfect analogy for a blog! (And you are welcome even if you don't drink coffee!)
I will be posting thoughts, discoveries, and ideas here as I discover them, primarily on educational technology topics, and I invite you to do the same! "
In this blog, I talk about educational technology, educational theory, educational pedagogy, and other topics related to these. I teach Physics and EMS classes, so some times I'll talk about those specific areas. I'll also discuss 21st Century Skills and Education. I explore free educational technology resources, ways to integrate technology into the classroom, professional development, project based learning, and tips and resources for new teachers.
