Cloud Tools Survey #edchat

Hello everyone! I wanted to ask for your help with a project I'm working on at the moment. I'm co-writing a book with +Jared Covili  for Corwin Publishing on Cloud Based Applications in the classroom. We want to focus on actual examples of use in the classroom by educators and students. If you have moment, please share with us how you have used any of these tools in the classroom.

Thank you for your time!

4 Year Anniversary #EdChat #Blogging

Here is my first post from 4 years ago,

"I've decided to create a blog. I'm a 30 year old English teacher that is currently working on my Masters Degree in educational technology. I spend tons of time helping other teachers in my building incorporating technology into their teaching and thought it would be nice to share these new concepts with the world out there. Also, I'm sure this blog can help me with my Masters Program.

If you have any thoughts or ideas you would like to share, please feel free to email me or post a comment. Let's see where this thing takes us."

It's been an amazing ride. 

People always ask me how to get people to read their blog or follow their Twitter account. My best advice is the same advice I give my students. Be yourself and everything will fall into place. 

Happy New Year folks!
