EdTechChristina Uncategorized/Other ,

 

Good morning!

Okay, we’re going to take a break from email for just a bit to bring you a tech tip on how to make easy labels for your classroom!  The video clip is a little bit longer than usual (about 12 minutes), but it will show you an easy way to make labels and merge info for a variety of uses that can be used all year long (which is a great time saver)!  Spoiler alert:  It’s one of my favorites ways to make labels, and I don’t use Word or Google to do it!

Hi everyone!

Wow!  I’m loving all the signature lines I’m seeing!!  You all ROCK!!!  J

Today, I’d like to share this awesome resource:  Larry Ferlazzo’s Best Resources On the 2016 Olympics in Rio.  Larry is a Sacramento teacher and started compiling this list about a year ago.  It’s amazing and a great resource to use with students as the Olympics approach!

Thanks!
