In this episode of the TechEducator Podcast, we discuss how Social Media can be used as a positive thing in the classroom environment.&nbsp;In this episode, we discuss:Google I/O ConferenceNew Google Assistant can make phone calls for youNew Gmail FeaturesIs this the end of the world?Social Media in the ClassroomBest Practices for Social MediaAccount Creation11 Tips for Social Media Success by Sam PattersonOnce a day, share something specific.&nbsp;Take a close up picture of one kid’s work, get their hands in there. Don’t engage the current debateThat new thing everybody is ranting about? Ignore it, it isn’t important.&nbsp;The debate is more energy than it is worth. Follow widely unfollow freelyIf you are a teacher, follow teachers. If you are running a classroom account, follow classroom accounts. Unfollow at the first sign of trouble. Never feel guilty about unfollowing. Don’t show your students the raw feed unless you have a good reason. Expect your kids and parents to read your feed They won’t read all your posts, but they will see every mistake you make. Make the right ones. Lift up someone else’s workShare the work of the teachers and classrooms you follow. This is an easy way to stay active and share positive. Ask questions If you see a project you like, ask a question. People love to answer questions about what they shared. Everybody learns from good questions. Chats aren’t required People can get really excited about Twitter chats, you don’t have to. They can be overwhelming and they are not for everyone. Turn notifications off Seriously, evil corporations are reshaping your brain’s chemistry through notifications. I am not kidding, turn that crap off. Use threads to tie together a group of examples Post a “Title tweet” that has the name of the assignment and then “thread” the rest of the examples as replies. Interact with those who feed your practice. If you find someone’s tweet useful or inspiring, tell them. Don’t just RT it, say “thanks” it matters. Never forget these platforms were built to monetize outrage and disagreement, don’t make money for them.We left 3 important points off of this list. . . . . What are they?

In this episode of the TechEducator Podcast, we bring 3 Instructional Technology Coaches on to discuss their Top 10 Tips for staying productive and efficient in their school districts.10 Productivity Tips for Instructional Technology CoachesTip 1 – Coach to Teacher CommunicationVoxer – very important for keeping communication open but not filling your inbox.Tip 2 – Teacher to Coach Communication Utilize an online booking system (YouCanBook.Me, Appoint.ly, Google Calendar Appointment slots) etc for teachers to book times to meet with you. Saves the back and forth time in emails.Use Remind for quick contact.Tip 3 – Keep Track of Events and DocumentsEvernote: It’s the perfect application to save documents, audio, PDF’s and it’s available on all platforms.Tip 4 – Digital Communication and OrganizationUtilize Google Docs/Folders to record conversations and coaching sessions for future conversations. Tip 5 – Provide Resources for Personalized LearningKeep ongoing blog as a one-stop-shop for all your teachers’ needs. Update with things you often come across for them to go back to. Also helps alleviate email you send to staff.Tip 6 – Create Personalized VideosJing – a great quick screen recording tool for simple how-to videos.Tip 7 – Create a Data DashboardRecord important events right after they happen.&nbsp;It’s easy to go an entire day and forget to record important events or meetings with teachers. Use a Google Doc, Evernote, Google Keep, or Google Form to keep track of what you have done each day.&nbsp;Use it to create a Data Dashboard of your events. You never know when it might come in handy.Tip 8 – Create User Groups for Group InstructionFacebook groups – create hubs for people to share resources. It’s not just me that may have the answer. Tip 9 – Create an Army of Foot SoldiersUtilize your most willing teachers to assist in training/sparking innovation in others. If you build it, they will come.Tip 10 – When in Need… Wear it!Make an Apron &nbsp;Aprons- You could rock an apron and save hundreds on clothes and instantly have more pockets! Augment your clothing reality with extra padding where you need it and a custom pocket for cookies and other fresh snacks.Find time for micro-learning (Twitter, Flipboard, Tweetdeck, etc.)Follow our PodcastThe TeacherCast Educational Broadcasting Network | @TeacherCastThe TechEducator Podcast | <a href="http://www.twitter.com/techedshow"...

This past week, Google Slides released some pretty amazing updates that are certainly going to be helpful for both teachers and tech coaches.&nbsp;On this episode of the TechEducator Podcast, we take a look at these new features and how they can be used in your classroom.Please join us LIVE every Tuesday night for the TechEducator Podcast on Facebook, Periscope, or TeacherCast.tv and join in our live interactive chat box.How can we use the following new features?Grid ViewGrid view allows users to see all of your slides in a multi-row, multi-column grid.&nbsp;This feature revolves nicely around another new feature where you can now mute slides so they don't appear in your final presentation.&nbsp;Let's face it, when your slides are on the left side of the screen, you only see a handful at a time.&nbsp;With your slides in a grid, you can quickly see more of them to rearrange and edit quicker.Linking SlidesMany of us teach a class or subject that is also taught by another set of teachers.&nbsp;Or, perhaps a school leader is creating slides for a parent presentation and they want their school building leaders to embed that presentation on to THEIR slide decks.&nbsp;With a new slide-linking feature, users can create a set of slides and copy/paste them into another slide deck.&nbsp;When you hit the paste button, the new deck will give you an option to copy as is, or link the slides.&nbsp;When slides are linked, they act as one single slide.&nbsp;If you adjust one slide, the other deck gets adjusted as well.&nbsp;This is a game changer for anyone doing PD on a topic but uses that same set of slides for multiple presentations.Timelines, Graphs, ChartsI recently had a horrible experience where a math teacher told me (several times) that Google and Math just do not work well together.&nbsp;This same teacher came up to me recently with a smile on their face and told me that the new ability to add and manipulate charts and graphs on their slides was a total game changer.&nbsp;To add a chart, simply go to the Insert menu and insert one of several beautifully designed templates onto your slide.Resources and Demos from Free Tech for TeachersFree Tech 4 Teachers: Grids, Timelines, and NotesFree Tech 4 Teachers: How to find free photosFree Tech 4 Teachers: Using Grid View in SlidesFree Tech 4 Teachers: How to create a Timeline in SlidesPlease share with us!We would love to know how you are using Google Slides in your classroom.&nbsp;Please leave us a comment below and a link to your favorite slide deck.Thank You For Your Podcast ReviewsAre you enjoying the TeacherCast Network, please share your thoughts with the world by commenting on iTunes today?

The Tech Educator&nbsp;Podcast&nbsp;is a weekly roundtable discussion about current topics in educational technology.&nbsp;&nbsp;For more information, please visit&nbsp;www.techeducatorpodcast.com.About our GuestAlefiya&nbsp;believes that involved communities result in higher academic and social outcomes, stronger values, and increased future success for students. Her degree in psychology and education from Emory University, along with her training and experience as a Montessori teacher, power her passion for wide-scale education improvement. It is this passion that led her to start her company&nbsp;Crescerance&nbsp;(cris-seer-unce) in 2011.In Crescerance’s short lifespan of just over 3 years,&nbsp;Alefiya&nbsp;has enabled over 150 educational institutions in America and throughout the world to better communicate with and engage their communities through the growing power of mobile.&nbsp;Alefiya&nbsp;is passionate about making mobile an easily available and powerful channel to thousands of schools worldwide. She is now focussing on bringing the concepts and tools of app development to students as young as the 3rd grade by enabling them to build mobile apps with the newly launched&nbsp;MAD-learn&nbsp;program. In her spare time, she enjoys touring the world, meeting new people, learning new languages, and experiencing new cultures. She is also a closet adrenaline junkie who loves the occasional sky or sea dive expedition.About CresceranceCrescerance began its journey in 2011 with the simple idea of wanting to make it easier for schools to connect and truly engage with their parents, staff, students, alumni, and community at large. Through working with schools in creating their school apps (so that everyone could be connected through Mobile and have quick, easy access to the information they needed), we met students that had a keen interest in not just using the app that we created for their school, but in wanting to learn about the creation process of that app.“How did you make our app?” was a question that we got asked through numerous in person or Skype calls from teachers wanting to bring an App Developer perspective to their students. This is where MAD-learn was born. It was born from the curiosity of our students. From their quest to know more and absorb more. From our passion to feed that curiosity.MAD stands for Mobile App Development and MAD-learn is a program that is teaching students how to be Creators of Technology, instead of just Consumers of it.
