Interactive Learning: Padlet
So many options right now online learning. If you’re an educator, you’re probably overwhelmed. If you’re a parent, you’re probably overwhelmed. If you’re a student, you’re probably overwhelmed.

By now, Zoom is not a new word in your vocabulary. However, a week ago, most of you possibly would think I was talking about getting a closer look with a camera lens.

Let’s Talk Infographics
I have never seen myself as creative. I am a teacher though and teachers are super great at finding ideas and recreating them to fit their needs. Now, I SAY I’m not creative, however, I do have a craft room in my house where I have loads of scrapbook stuff, ribbon, embellishments, a Silhouette machine…

The Mindset List
As educators we (for the most part) make every attempt to connect with our students on some level outside of the academics in the four walls we call home 8 hours of the day. If you think about it, and I’m sure you have, we spend more time with our students than they get to…
