MtWP Director

By day, I teach 7th & 8th grade English Language Arts at a fantastic rural school: Dorton Elementary in Pike County, KY, in the United States. Most nights, I attempt to conquer the world of EduTech. If you find a broken link, please email me at the link in the upper right corner.


Thank you for visiting!

For the past several years I have conducted summer technology workshops for teachers.  This website is an assemblage of tools I have discovered along the way.   Throughout the process, my goal has been to keep current with the inundation of instructional technology.  To this end, I have organized this website around categories that make sense to me.  

What's under each tab?:

1)  Home page (Tech 101):  the evolution of technology.
2) Creating: Apps and tools to help students and teachers create something.
3)  Communicating:  Available tech tools to help teachers and students communicate with one another:  blogging, backchanneling, podcasting, etc.
4)  Collaborating: Voxer (walkie-talkie), Wikis, etc.
***Depending on how you use it:  communicating and collaborating tools are interchangeable.
5)  Flip This:  Do you want to know more about the background of flipped classroom and some commonly used tools that will make your life so much easier?  Click on this page.
    Subpages of Flip This:  
       Tech Tube -screencasts about creating your own Weebly website, Edmodo part 2       (understanding some of the special features and apps), etc.
       Teacher Helps:  An assortment of tools you will likely use often in your        
       classroom--Formative assessment tools, teacher time savers, etc.
       Blog--not really a blog, LOL, cause I don't have time to blog.  I have assembled
       some Weebly-based student work of varying degrees of quality.  
       Vocab-o-fun--because we all have to teach vocabulary!  Be creative---use picture 
       apps, comic apps, voice-based apps.
6) Links:  edu-tech bloggers to follow & tech guides for self-study.

BUT, WHAT IF…:
"WAYS TO KILL INNOVATION" from Tools for Teaching for Transformation by Gary Phillips


1.  We tried that.  It didn't work.
    "We tried that (or something similar) ten years ago.  It had a different acronym."   (It was called something
     different in my day.)
2.  We've never done that before.
     "We can't do this.  There's no precedent."
     "We can't do this.  It would create a precedent."  (Radical change is very challenging for some folks.)
3.  We don't know how.
     "I can't do this.  I'm too old for this."  (I'm a _________teacher, not a computer teacher.)
4.  "We don't have time."
      (I have 35 papers to grade, 2 meetings this week, and I still haven't called [precious] Wilbur's parents 
      about his chronic tardies to class.)
5.  "We don't have the $$$."
     Do student have smartphones?  Do you have a district grant writer?  What other sources of funding can be    
     tapped?
