A few ideas to learn more about EdTech this summer ...
1. Watch inspirational TED videos: www.ted.com
2. What can you do with your iPad?

3. Learn more about consumer electronics, technology, tech news, etc. (How to videos? reviews, news, etc):
www.cnet.com
4. The excellent Atomic Learning site full of software and other tutorials (need your Harper Creek login):
www.atomiclearning.com
5. Core teachers especially, check out Khan Academy and share this with your students. Despite what it says on the home page, you do not need to set up an account and can go straight to the tutorials.

6. There is so much you can do with Google Apps for education, not to mention the summer Google Camp through the CISD, that this is an area all educators need to learn more about. Our students now have access to these tools through their Harper Creek log in for Google Apps (staff too)!
