Kasey Bell - ShakeUpLearning

One of the worst feelings I have each time I have attended ISTE is....How did I NOT know about this person or website?! One of the best sessions of ISTE17 was presented by Kasey Bell and Tyler Tarvey. It was inspirational, educational, funny, and is rocking my world! There were so many things that I have to catch up on and make me feel like I am already a mile behind everyone else. However, it's summer and I am excited and can't wait to dig in.

I decided to start by checking out Kasey Bell's website ShakeUpLearning.  She has the best resources I have ever seen for everything Google! The best part is she shares everything she creates including her ISTE presentation resources and free ebooks. She even makes them very easy to share using every form of social media as well as Pinterest.

Seriously, I am so far behind.....forget the rest of the summer....I will be busy listening to the Google Tribe podcasts and checking out everything Kasey Bell has posted!

Additional Resources: ShakeUpLearning Facebook Page & Download a copy of her Google Cheat Sheets for Teachers and Students! (It's an awesome resource and easy to follow! Just subscribe to ShakeUpLearning and she will send you the link.) You can grab a copy of 17 Things Teachers Should Try in 2017 while you are at it. It's full on information and links for newer Google Apps and resources.

People to Follow - John Spencer

How have I missed John Spencer's videos? I LOVE them! First of all, I am a huge Harry Potter fan! Secondly, they are so motivational and easy to understand. John is easy to relate to and the videos are short and to the point. He is funny and covers topics that I totally get! I have to watch them all! I not only checked out his Twitter account, Facebook page, website , Youtube channel , and books. There are so many amazing topics he covers! He has videos for teachers and students. He teaches students to be creative and become makers. There are videos for creative writing assignments and you can even sign up to receive free student maker challenges every Thursday delivered by email. I can't wait to try some of his lessons and challenges with my students! I am thinking I will use his Invent Your Own Superhero during the first week of school as a way to get to know my new students.
