The Internet is LOADED with FREE tools
that are applicable to education.

teachers can set up lists of their students

messages straight to their cell phones.

12. The TOOLS!
TodaysMeet.com - this is an app where
you can set up a chatroom (for lack of
better words) where students can
comment during a lesson. This is a great
tool for getting the students engaged in
the lesson.

students use their own devices in the
classroom is one of the most easy and
logical things to do. Cell phones

there is even a chat window available for
collaborating.

16. Digital Footprint
Don't hide your digital
footprint from others,
be brave, stand up tall
and be proud of what
you have to share on
the web.
My personal goal is to
one day be at the TOP
of a Google search. http://careerrocketeer.com/2011/07/is-your-digital-footprint-
squashing-your-reputation.html

17. Digital Footprint
I think of my digital
footprint as promotional
advertising. My key
promotional tools are:
● personal logo
● own URL
● an image of myself
● standard self description

18. The NEVER Ending Journey
The best thing about my exploration of
connecting the web with education is that
it is a never ending journey. I will continue
to connect with other educators and
explore web tools for as far as the road will
take me...
