Monday Media Tips

QR Codes

Here is a book talk on one of the latest books that I have read.  If you are a sci fi fan or love adventure stories...this is the book for you!

Pear Deck is a Google slides add-on that compels your students to interact with your classroom discussion rather than just sit and listen . The learners become actively engaged in the presentation through the use of Pear Deck!

What brought this add on  to the forefront of my mind was an email that I recently received from Ditch the Textbook's Matt Miller.  He  reminded me of the value of this slides add-on.  

The blog that I follow, and would like to share with you, is Ditch that Textbook with Matt Miller .

Here is the link to the website https://ditchthattextbook.com/. 

 I highly suggest that you take a look around.  He has tons of tips and tricks that he readily shares with his followers.

Google Hangouts is a free service that is attached to your gmail.  It allows you to instant message other gmail users and use face time features.  I use this feature in my work collaboration with colleagues at other schools and personally to contact my family.  If you have any further questions, please come by the library for assistance.

Today I would like to tell you about QR codes or quick response codes,  their usefulness in the classroom setting and how to create one using qrmonkey, the generator I most prefer.  Listen up and I will share with you why!
