P19 Wrap-Up! EdTech Inspiration!

What a great week!  Gaston County Schools - thank you for your investment in EdTech teacher training.  I can't wait to bring new ideas to the HST students via the media center.  

Top Ten Takeaways from GCS Pinnacle 19 this week:  



1.  If you are over 40, take Dramamine before playing Minecraft Edu!  Trust me...

2. When recording a lipdub video, remember not to take yourself seriously and have fun! Wear a neon scarf and channel your inner Whitney Houston! Thank you to iMovie for making it SO EASY.

3.  It's "All About that Bass"...I mean the STUDENTS!  Student learning, student engagement, student inquiry, purposeful EdTech and STEM/STEAM!

4.  I really love PicCollage - Why didn't I know about this app?

5.  PLN through Twitter - so important!  (So awesome to learn from so many inspiring educators!)

6.  Pinnacle 19 Leaders - WOW! So inspiring, encouraging, helpful, dedicated, innovative and amazing!  

7.  Planning a Makerspace for the HST Media Center!  So excited!

8.  APPmazing Race - AMAZING!  So much fun, so many laughs, selfie-madness ..."Where are the Goats?"  I can really see my students doing this!

9.  Padlet, Nearpod and TodaysMeet - :-) Definitely think back channeling will be great for my RamTV students when we plan the broadcasts! 

10.  Never stop learning, trying new things, and growing as an educator!  Bring on the 2015-16 school year!
