As we prepare students to be people of faith in the 21st century, we need to be more and more familiar and comfortable with new technology tools. I’m always on the lookout for useful technology tips, and Colette Cassinelli’s edtech Vision has plenty of great suggestions and tricks for using technology in the classroom. Colette is a Google Certified Teacher and works at a Catholic high school in Oregon. She describes herself as a “technology evangelist,” and blogs regularly about teaching with technology.
Check out edtech VISION and learn how to subscribe to RSS feeds, why G-Mail is Colette’s choice for reading email, and how to be a highly connected person.
Colette is a member of the Catholic School Teachers Network and will be presenting “Google Tools for Catholic Schools” at this year’s NCEA convention in Anaheim, California.
Nick, thanks for promoting my website. I’m thrilled that Catholic educators everywhere are embracing technology.
Google Apps is probably one of the most powerful technologies for classrooms. There are a ton of great uses and putting technology in our children’s hands for practical everyday uses. I am finding that many educators and parishioners are not fully seeing the benefits within parish communities and schools. I shared this with our school and have setup a system for our parish. The school dismissed the idea and the parish system sits there unused because the people in the office are leary of it because it’s free. Go figure.
