The past few epidsodes have been about student engagement, but this episode is about my engagement.  Each day I use the same tech tools, I have become more adept at using them as a result.  I use about 3 pieces of online software and try to incorporate 1 or 2 tools as they apply to my teaching.  This episode is about my regularly tech tools, whether on my phone or Chromebook.  Here are my primary tools:

• Chrome Browser (Phone and Computer/Chromebook)
• Google Slides (Chromebook, but sometimes my phone)*I use a presentation remote extension...sometimes
• Google Keep (Phone mostly)
• Google Drive (Phone and Compter/Chromebook)
  

You will want to try out using Keep.  Take a pic on your phone using keep and add it to a Slide on your Computer/Chromebook.  I like using this at the end of class for many reasons.

This weeks tech treat has endless opportunities for students to learn about the environment.  That is kind of a weak description really.  Take some time and check out Google Arts and Culture’s Hidden Worlds of National Parks.  The pictures are incredible and the information is awesome.  Click the link, you won’t be disappointed.
