I have been tweeting for a couple of years now for personal and professional use, but this year I plan to give it a try in my teaching to keep connected with my students and their parents. I will post more on my progress as we go along. If you are really not clear on what Twitter is, and are afraid to ask, this video from Commoncraft can help!

Please consider contributing your stories by emailing me at masterymaze@gmail.com. If you are using moodle I would love to hear how and stories on how it is going.

Hybrid High School? K12 Online learning Apps

Thanks to all who attended the training in July! I think we need to get on the online train before it passes us by. Our districts will buy it off the shelf from the many publishers who are dying to replace teachers with credit recovery and other programs.

I believe that we as teachers need to become teachers online as well.

We can do it! It is not that difficult!
