Minuto Edutec


Hello everyone,

At this time I would like to direct this post to all the Spanish speaking community. My friend Marybell Rodriguez and I will start an online program called "Minuto Edutec".

Minuto Edutec will offer weekly tips on how to use technology in your classroom. In 2 or 3 minutes you will see recommendations on how to integrate technology, how to promote a positive digital life, and other related topics. Each Friday we'll publish a new tip.

Our goal is to share content in Spanish for teachers that are interested in integrating technology into their classrooms. By doing this, we hope teachers can generate meaningful experiences for their students.

We start Friday, January 23, 2015. 

Don't miss it! Every Friday!

Heres' the video we created that explains better what our project is about.



Cheers!

Discovering Add-ons & Scripts

Hi! It's back-to-school time. I hope your school year is off to a good start. As for me, it's been a very busy season. I can tell you that, amongst many other events, two major situations take place each year at my school: Open House and New Google Apps accounts. What's so special about these two? They both require a great deal of prepping and tech assistance.

A couple of years ago, we'd lay out long sheets of lined paper, one for each different session, with a limited amount of lines. In the next years, we decided to take it a step further and created a Google Form. We had laptops available during each of the Open House nights and asked parents to register electronically to a tech session. While parents were submitting forms, I'd be in the background, checking numbers against the capacity we had fo

Voice Feedback in Google Docs

Hi! I was recently asked by a teacher how she could provide voice feedback in Google Docs. Sometimes, it's better to record your feedback, rather than writing a long note, and I'm pretty sure students would appreciate listening to their teacher's voice too! Here are some options I found. They all work for Google Docs. Some will mention if they work on Google Slides or Google Classroom too. Mote This is a Chrome extension. The basic plan has some limitations , but it's ok. Mote creates a link to the voice note in a comment box. For a better experience, the kids would also need to install that extension, that way they wouldn't be taken out of the Google doc to listen to the message and could play directly in the comments box. Works the same also in Google Slides and in Google Classroom. Read&Write This is another Chrome extension, which also has other cool features you might like. Again, to better experience this feedback option, it is recommended that the student

Hello World!

Hello World! This is how I started my first tweet some years ago and this is how I start my first public blog. I am trying to reach anyone out there that shares the same interests I have. The purpose of this blog is to share my experience as a technology trainer at an elementary school. I will be posting what has worked for me, any resources I recommend, and in general, the day to day experiences I go through in my daily life. Check back frequently and feel free to comment and share your experiences too. Let the learning begin!
