Hello world!

As a former classroom teacher I understand that your time is valuable.  As teachers your plate is full with planning, grading, parent meetings, meeting meetings, and life. However, integrating technology can be exciting and transfer instructional ownership to the students. I am starting this Blog to help make your tech life easier.  As a teacher I would search for ways to integrate technology into my instruction and it could sometimes take hours.  It is my intention to do all the hard work for you and share it here.  I will be posting tips on technology integration in low-tech classrooms, new and creative resources, ways to reinvent your tech use, and more. Subscribe to this blog so you’re the first to know about the latest blog post.

Wright on!
