A number of Ed Tech tools and sources are more intensively incredible than I would have imagined.
Two of the best sources I've found have been
EdSurge
EdSurge
With technology, and especially education technology, booming exponentially, EdSurge offers a range of services and information.
New forms and applications for technology that infuse and enhance education, reviews of the software and tools used to accomplish the goals we can achieve with those tools.
EdSurge addresses similar issues as they apply to higher education, giving insight to high and middle schools as we prepare our students to take advantage of these post-secondary opportunities.
Finally, EdSurge offers a national Job Board featuring high level technical opportunities in education from allover the United States.

Generation Global
Generation Global
This video offers a brief introduction to the swelling movement of Globalization in education focused on middle and high school students. In order to be functional and productive, our children need the skills to understand the world beyond their country, state, town, school, and own homes. Reaching out to other students in other cultures begins to bridge the gaps of understanding. It starts to develop recognition and empathy.
It begins to tear down the walls so that honest and active communication can take place. Told in the words and perspectives of students.
FLIP GRID
FLIP GRID
Powerful video collaboration tools that can bring live interaction to mobile discussion. The above link is our class discussion about Ed Tech resources that we explored in our Saturday Session (3-24-18).
This tool could be used in a middle school math classroom as a formative quiz. It could play into how well students understand the literary content. In the math SOL, there are points about students being able to write equations as sentences. This would be a perfect use of FlipGrid!
