GoosechaseEdu is an app for scavenger hunts!

GoosechaseEdu is an app that combines the excitement of a scavenger hunt with mobile technology. Games consist of a series of missions that are completed by individuals or teams.

Reflecting on student projects and SAMR

A few year back, several teachers took the time to reflect on using the SAMR model and I reflected about it in a post.  As we move forward in our school with two grade levels, 9 & 10 now a 1:1 device teachers should reflect on their teaching with technology.  SAMR is just one model to help guide teacher thinking.  There is a four part series by Michael Gorman to guide this discussion.
