- What Would Google Do In Your Classroom: I love to see what my students create, but my struggle has always been managing the project process while leaving TONS of room for student creativity. I stumbled on the Agile/Scrum business process that is used by companies like Google to manage projects. In this session you'll learn how to start using this project management process in your classroom
- A 1:1 Open Source Program -Ubermix: I wouldn't use netbooks if it wasn't for Jim Klein's Ubermix. Ubermix is an Open Source operating system customized for schools -lots of built in tools, very easy to use and it's all FREE!
- Minecraft: World's Built for Investigative Learning. More and more my students love Minecraft
- You've Got the Tech Now What: A session on Design Thinking
- CK-12 Flexbooks for Flexible Learning:
- More Than Khan, Gooru: The Search Engine for Learning.

Interview with 2 of my education heroes.
I love how my students were a part of my Google Teacher Academy video. This really was a collaboration - we blended our ideas together. So Fun!

Besides the 'really, really awesome teacher' plug. This is the stuff that reminds me of how much I love teaching.
I added this video because it has several of my education heroes. Ramsey Musallam -the most amazing Chemistry teacher I've ever met. Nicole Dalesio -the most amazing and talented photo-editing teacher. The world famous Rushton Hurley, Chris Fitzgerald Walsh, Diane Main, Elizabeth Calhoon, Kyle Brumbaugh and Mike Lawrence. When I need some inspiration these are the people I look to. Oh and if you haven't watched the Infinite Thinking Machine, I highly suggest subscribing.
