WEBkids 2.0 – Making It Simple

Andy Losik’s blog is one of my dirty little secrets. Quite often I steal a lot of what I’m doing in my classroom from his website, and thankfully, he’s ok with that. Before he started in with all of the good stuff, Andy gave us a little history of his educational career and made a point that everything we have at our fingertips on the web wasn’t even possible just 5 years ago. And then he followed it up with one of my favorite videos about girls flexing their technology muscle.

Andy then gave a nice little overview of his blog, how he uses it with his classes, and gave some ideas about using a blogs admin features to hide certain posts for projects that you repeat each year, giving parents a safe place to put links and resources, basically simple things that the everyday teacher can do; which is what I’m all about. Make it simple, and make it quick.

And then he gave us his presentation website…..WOW! We didn’t get through nearly half of it, but thanks to the whiz-bang magic of the Internet, I’m going to share all of the resources from his presentation page right here on the conference blog. And the most beautiful thing; almost all of Andy’s resources are FREE!
