Mrs. T's Technology Corner

Science Spotlight Workshops
 For the past few years, I have enjoyed sharing my love of technology with fellow educators in Central Illinois. Take a few moments to browse the handouts and resources for my workshops to discover ways to enrich your classroom with technology.

2016 ISTA Science Spotlight: Science A to Z - Our Favorite Lessons - During this presentation, my teaching buddy, Cheryl McDaniel, and I share our favorite lessons for astronomy, biology, chemistry, physics, and more!

2016 K-8 Update Science Spotlight: Transforming Technology - During this presentation, I shared my favorite teacher tools, resources for finding new ideas/activities, and great sites to challenge your students.

Mrs. T's Site Spotlights

EDPuzzle
I currently utilize their website in my 1:1 science classroom.  They offer easy-to-use tools to edit videos, add voice notes, and quiz questions.  I have edited many videos to use in place of traditional notes to review topics, introduce concepts, and extend classroom activities.  Check out my worksheet for genetics using two EDPuzzle videos:  Heredity Basics and Punnett Squares.
