Technology ---Just Do It!
This post is primarily a note to self. I come across numerous great ideas daily, and I read, try and use some (not all) of them as much as I can find a way, but I fail to share these great ideas--so I am going to try this again, starting today. One tool that I have really grown to love is Edmodo. I started using it with my students at the beginning of this year, and gradually began using as my own PLN more and more. Edmodo is a free online collaboration site that is specifically designed for education-the kids love it, and so do I. OK, even though I have much more to say on Edmodo, that's my post for today--I did it!

Free E-Books:Technology Tidbits
After reading Shelly Terrell's blog post on Free E-books and resources for your summer reading I was delighted to see how David Kapuler highlighted some of my favorite tech ed resources in a series of free e-books. In a collection of six volumes he has included a wealth of resources, many of which I had not heard of before. One in particular includes the host site, BookRix which allows users to read and create their own "digital" books for free!

Google Teacher Academy
Well, its done! I officially submitted my application for this year's Google Teacher Academy.
The theme for this year's Academy is "Innovative Education Leadership in the Age of Google." The academy will select 50 participants from a pool of applicants. I got my idea for the video mainly from David Wiley's What does open education look like?, thanks to a post from @ShawnRoner.
The trend of openness is growing rapidly and I definitely think it's time that we as educational leaders be informed enough to hop on board, and I'm sure Google will help lead the way!
