Greetings everyone! Here are a few links and loves from my week. Tiki Toki looks like a rich and wonderful timeline maker! It would make this look much more appealing! Would you fly in the Volocopter ? Someday soon, you just might! You will be able to order this autonomous taxi service with an app on your phone! Three of my favorite subjects just came together in the most creative way!   MathScienceMusic.org is a free toolkit for teachers, bringing together the best resources in math, science and music.  Designed for students, kindergarten through college.

Well, here we are in the middle of February!  I find myself anxious for Spring and ⚾!! Here are a few links and loves that have come my way this week. #1 A colleague shared canvas.apps.chrome with me this week. This is such a simple tool for marking up an image or creating a simple drawing on a white board. Check it out! #2 Another colleague shared WordArt with me. This is an online word cloud art creator that enables you to create amazing and unique word cloud art with ease. I love that you can put the words into any shape. Check out the image my colleague created with WordArt! #3 Teleprompt.me is a web based (works in Chrome) voice controlled teleprompter. So as you speak the words will scroll automatically with your voice. That way you can speak at a natural pace and not worry about going too slowly or quickly. #4 Class Tech Tips is a blog that I’ve been enjoying from Dr. Monica Burns. She has so many great strategies and ideas for the classroom!

With the help of my co-workers, YouTubers and several Facebook groups and Instagram posts , , I feel as though I finally have a general understanding of how to design and create with the Cricut Design Space platform and the Cricut machine in our Innovation Lab. Next week I am planning lessons for students in a media class, centered around the Design Thinking Model , to create a product with the Cricut machine. In yet another classroom, I am planning lessons for students using the popular Applied Digital Skills platform. These are video based lessons that integrate the Google for Education Suite (docs, slides, mail, maps, sites etc.) to have students work collaboratively to accomplish real life projects and skills. The one I am going to use is called Plan an Event . Do you enjoy being creative? Lately I’ve been really drawn to trying creative challenges. I’ve
