It seems like forever since last we had the chance to talk and I take full blame for that! In the past few months I have been exploring the world of technology integration, using Discovery Education Streaming and all of the amazing tools as well as completing my Master’s Degree from Northern Arizona University!

I can honestly say that it was because of the Discovery Educator Network National Institute that I found the inspiration for my capstone project. Please visit my project and let me know what you think!

World Language Technology Integration

My classes this past semester began using wikispaces, Google Docs and most recently Xtranormal.com for some amazing digital storytelling in Spanish.

After attending the DEN National Institute I was really excited to try out Google Docs not only with my co-workers but with my students as well. I am a BIG fan! The students are all really excited about the collaboration that they are able to do on projects and the faculty love the ease of use. I had a Google Page webpage last year but I switched to Google Sites and it is super easy to integrate Google Docs within this site.

As a Spanish teacher I am always curious to see if accent marks and punctuation are supported and they are in Google Docs which is an added bonus.
