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.

Chrome Cheat Sheet and Extension Favs

What a find this morning while browsing my Google+ feed. This was posted by +Miquel Guhlin but I see that kbell6 from ShakeUpLearning.com  actually created this. Love the visuals on the anatomy of Chrome. Many die hard IE folks are determined NOT to give Chrome a try. In my opinion, THEY are missing out on some really awesome features that can save time, help struggling learners, tap in on your own learning style, and so much more. Some of my "can't live without" apps and/or extensions are:

  • Diigo capture, save,  annotate
  • Pinterest pin it button
  • Add This button (customize to your preference)
  • One Tab- save many tabs, name the session and have it ready to open for a presentation, or class
  • Clip to Evernote
  • Go to Feedly (my aggregator)
  • Goo shortener (provides a QR code also)
  • TLDR (too long, didn't read) summarizes long articles
  • Google Dictionary
  • Sound Gecko - text to speech or another one is: iSpeech
