Summer Vacation begins in just 7 days for me - S-E-V-E-N! So I am thinking about what I want to focus on this summer for next year and I have decided to focus on technology!
And that's what my pins are all about!

First up, I want to learn as much as I can about using Google apps to go digital in my classroom. Not only will this save paper but technology is so engaging for students! I have found that even my most difficult students enjoy using digital learning resources!
We don't have Google Classroom in my district but we do have Gmails so I know we can do just about anything Google! I plan to do a weekly blog series about what I discover beginning Saturday, June 18th so stop back by and join me!

Next up, I also want to look into digital portfolios. I have heard about See Saw and even signed up but have yet to figure it all out. I'm excited for what kids could do with this! I think this will really motivate students to be invested in their learning because there's a place for it to be displayed that isn't limited to school.

Finally, I would be remiss if I didn't look at options to engage parents. Did you know you could send a classroom newsletter using Google Docs? Me either!
All of this technology "stuff" excites me and I think it will excite my students too!
Check out my Pinterest board where I have been collecting pins for this summer project and then check out some other great pins for June:
