Learning is Change

Jessica Raleigh proposed a challenge for anyone who wants to take part. If you are wanting to start doing some video blogging, here are a couple of great questions to get you started:

☑What’s in your desk drawer, and what can you infer from those contents?

☑Share five random facts about yourself. Share four things from your bucket list. Share three things that you hope for this year, as a “person” or an educator. Share two things that have made you laugh or cry as an educator. Share one thing you wish more people knew about you.

☑Write your goals for the school year. Be as specific or abstract as you’d like to be!

☑Discuss one “observation” area that you would like to improve on for your teacher evaluation.

☑Explain: What does a good mentor “do”?

☑Who was or is your most inspirational colleague, and why?

Again, this is just some fun ideas to get to know one another and start the process of reflection through video. Looking forward to “seeing” you soon!

What I'm Learning: How to bulk Hide, Show, or Delete Sheets on Google Spreadsheets

On occasion, I have needed to mess around with very large spreadsheets. This is going to be a huge help in making those more manageable. 

Bulk Hide, Show or Delete Multiple Sheets in Google Spreadsheets

Too many sheets! I came across the problem of having a large number of visible or unused sheets in cluttering up my Google Spreadsheets  often enough that I decided to solve it.

What I'm Using: One Click Hangout Extensions for Google Chrome!

I have needed these things SO MUCH in the last few months. The ability to start broadcasting directly to your youtube channel with a single click is pretty awesome.

I really love Eric Mills’s idea of “release early, update often.” This is such a great way to think about making videos and collaborating with others online. Anything you create for this project does not have to be perfect. Please share above all else.
