In the blink of an eye, the first week of October is already behind us! Are you feeling the stress of time moving too quickly? I saw this post on Twitter this week and I had to take a deep breath to consider  how quickly everything is moving.


This past week I worked with several of my colleagues to find ways to help with tech integration and work flow productivity. Here are a few ideas that I suggested. Perhaps one of these ideas will help you as well.


Page Marker Extension - Lets you write on top of almost any webpage and download to save the annotations.

Tab Resize - Split tabs to split your screen easily and then regroup the tabs back to one window when you're done.

Sir Links A Lot - quickly generate a URL for a Google Document (or slides, sheets, drawings etc.) to force a copy, share a preview, create a template or make a PDF.

I hope you have an amazing weekend and that the weather in your area is as beautiful and enjoyable as it is in Wisconsin. I'm off to visit my son in college and take in a tailgate and university football game.

The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape.
