Integrating Technology ... with Prezi

Hi all, I've spent the day experimenting with a super cool web-based presentation tool called Prezi...  I created a presentation for the Integrating Technology workshops Polly and I have been hosting - some which have already taken place, and others scheduled for a few weeks from now.

If you have a few minutes to explore this Prezi, be sure to select the "full screen" option above the "more" tab.

You'll find a huge number of resources here to spark your imagination.  We hope that you'll be able to take a bit of time to explore a range of techie options for your classroom next year.  I was able to imbed videos for TedEd, the Google World Wonders Project, Google Earth and more... so please take some time to explore those possibilities.

Let me know if you have any questions at all - or have other resources to add... and hope you are enjoying your summer,

Discovery Education Streaming - Use it!

OK team, if you only explore one website this summer, Discovery Education should be the one. Created by the Discovery Channel, it engages students through dynamic curricular resources like Discovery Education streaming and Discovery Education Science.  Many of our teachers use it quite a bit.  If you are one of them, please comment and share your experiences below!!  As it is quite an expensive subscription, we'd love everyone to become familiar with the great resources available.


If you've never used it before, navigate to the passcode/new user tab and enter 13FF-53EE.  Once you enter that, you can then set up your own username and password.

And as you wander through the content, peek at the following document to inspire yourself on how best to integrate Discovery Ed streaming into your lesson plans next year:
