It has been super busy and crazy here in Southeast, TEXAS. Can I blame it on the unpredictable weather we have been having? I am finally able to shout out about my awesome attendance at 
TCEA in Austin, Texas six days ago. It was, as always, great to be around TECHie & NERDy friends around the country to learn and collaborate. In fact, one can learn so much that your head feels like it will explode! I have come across sites where attendees have accumulated their learnings and resources. I wanted you to have the links all in one place and check out some of my favorite ones. Of course, you can always refer back to the hashtags, #tcea15, #tcea2015, #learnanywhere on Twitter to find more. The handouts that TCEA provides  is another place to find resources. I also found that Miquel Guhlin shared his own resources through Postach.io in combination with Evernote.  He graciously provides a how-to explaining the tracking of Twitter with Evernote and Postach.io. Ok, enough rambling, here is my takeaways for you:

1.      Lesson Planet - stated that they were a combination of Simple K12, Atomic Learning, and Lynda.com   
I have 4 sheets to share with you with the information. Jake Moore:
jake@lessonplanet.com 
888-217-7166  He said he would be willing to set up a webinar anytime to share the product with you, teachers, admin, etc. 
 
2.      AWE: Advanced Workstation Education: whitepaper available on data from 2013-14 in a Georgia Elementary school where average improvement was 55% in literacy scores across 4 Kindergarten classrooms! STAR assessment results (Works on Dell Venue tablets) Recommends only 2 per classroom or 8 in a lab setting in a rotation with Student Learning centers.

TCEA 2014

  I am a blessed woman! I am spending this week in Austin, Texas. I wish I could say the warm, sunny home of the Longhorns. But my friends, it is way too cold for me especially since I neglected to pack my jacket. Have it hung on the door, so I wouldn't forget it. Yes...somehow I forgot. Anyway, I will be posting the great information that we are learning on a shared Google document. Hope you enjoy all of the resources and can glean from the information. Folks this is the highlight of my year! Love TCEA. My teacher friend +Brenda Jones is here with me and we are learning so much. She has a blog of her own and has a fantastic post on AR (Augmented Realisty) called Valentine Card Instamotion. In fact, we stopped at Target on the way to Austin so that I could pick up my own box of those awesome valentines.

Animal Alphabet AR Flashcards

I created a step by step document that explains how to engage young children with the alphabet. Each letter pulls up an animal that starts with that  beginning sound. The animal pops up in 3-D! We have come a long way since I learned my ABC's with Dick and Jane LOL. I promise you that the time is worth seeing and hearing the kids react to the fun!
So sorry, discovered today that it is requiring you to ask for permission to this document. I will attempt to embed it in here so you can view it now:
