ONLINE PRESENCE
- Create/update an About.Me page
* I updated mine after the wedding to include my new name :)
- Create/update your online portfolio. I suggest Weebly; it is free, easy
to use, and aesthetically-pleasing.
* I updated mine this summer to include my new name & new job
- Create/update your Twitter profile & develop/organize a PLN
* I updated mine after the wedding to include my new name
- Sync your online networks to form a cohesive online presence
(Same updated info, same profile picture, etc)
* I still need to make sure all my profile pictures are the same, but the
info is all the same and updated
- Develop an online presence for your classroom. It can be a classroom
Twitter account, a webpage, a wiki, a Facebook page/group, a blog, etc.
Think about what best suits your students & run with it!
* I've created both a classroom website & a classroom blog for my class!
* Read my post about digital identity to learn more about online presence.
Summer #EdTech To-Do List Online Presence Grade: 4/5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
- Participate in a MOOC (massive open online course). Check out
the MOOC List to see what is coming up.
* Unfortunately I never found the time to participate in any type of
MOOC this summer
- Tune into a Twitter chat. Some of my favourites are:
- #ntchat,
- #edchat,
- #cdnedchat
* This was something I completed multiple times over the summer, I
would be lost without Twitter chats!
- Check out the resources available from some great ed tech curators.
The following are a must-see if you haven't checked them out before:
- Larry Ferlazzo's "Best Lists"
- ICT Magic
- Cybrary Man
* I spent a lot of time curating resources for my classes & these websites
were always my starting base, thank you!
Summer #EdTech To-Do List Professional Development Grade: 2/3

PLANNING
- Check out the backwards-by-design & new MB report card frameworks
available through the mRLC (Manitoba Rural Learning Consortium). Everything
a Manitoba teacher could ask for!
* This website was a lifesaver as I made my way through my Math & Science
planning this summer
- Familiarize yourself with the Bloom's Taxonomy chart of iPad apps.
* Not only have I used it, but I printed it off and placed it on our school's
iPad cart!
- Check out the ever-growing supply of Ted ED lessons that feature videos,
articles, comprehension questions & online discussions.
* The available lessons is still growing & I've found some really neat ones
to include in my Math, Science AND Art classes
Summer #EdTech To-Do List Planning Grade: 3/3

Overall I am very pleased with how I made out with my Summer #EdTech To-Do List. If you know me, however, I will be continuing to maintain and complete this list throughout the school year as well.
How did you make out with your own Summer #EdTech To-Do List? Share your thoughts!
- Did you try anything new and exciting?
- Did you accomplish a big project?
- Did you have challenges completing something?
