After two hours of whirl-winding through the carousels of Twitter, Google+, Diigo and this blog software tutorials, I feel like Devon Travis who limped off the field in the 6th inning. As opposed to extending this loose analogy any further it is immediately clear that I am facing down a 7 game series with all of this tech integration stuff. I arrived with some goals about what I was hoping to get from this but those have dissolved, re-birthed and shape shifted as I have worked through the introductions to the Edtech software above. I have developed a ton of really great ideas for my classes and for the team I lead at school. Right now they seem as scattered as Bautista&#8217;s hit count, but I am certain that as I continue to play around with the various options they will become clarified and practical.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead to the next face to face meeting in November, here are a few of the ideas I would like to just take a swing at in the coming weeks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use Twitter in my English class for group responses to media texts<\/li>\n<li>Use Diigo in my Theory of Knowledge class to look at articles in groups<\/li>\n<li>Try to keep up my blogging reflections<\/li>\n<li>Use Google Slides for collaboration and instruction in all of my classes<\/li>\n<li>Use Google Plus to begin to organize the curriculum team that I lead at school<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s about it for now&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>*I realize that by the time this was posted the Jays were down two games : (\u00a0 That has nothing to do with how I feel about cohort21.
