Mystery Blog Hop!

I'm excited to introduce you to this fantastic new linky party idea.
It's new. It's innovative! It's...TECHIE!
I couldn't resist.
When Ms. Fultz asked for people who wanted to participate, I jumped at the chance.


Here's the scoop:
This new linky party is a QR code blog hop! Can you believe it?
You can scan any of the codes in the linky with a QR reader and jump from one page to the next.
Cool, huh?
If you don't have a smart phone to use the QR code, you can just click the picture of the code.
I love it!
I hope that you try out a few and do what we all do best...
BLOG HOP! :)

By the way, if you haven't liked my Facebook page yet, you should!
I post there way more than on my blog.

Get your hoppin' shoes on.
It's time to linky party!

FLASH SALE!

I made my FIRST EVER paid product! EVER! :)
This is big for me. I hope you like it.


I made 3 clip charts in one little bundle. It's JUNGLE themed. You know how much I love me some jungle theme. Tomorrow, it will go back to it's $3 price point. Right now, it's on sale for $1.50 (That's 50% off, folks! Who doesn't love a sale??)

Hurry and jump on over. It'll only last until 11AM tomorrow morning. I wanted to make sure everyone has a fair shot at getting a good discount on it since it's my first one.

Here's a small example of what you'll be getting!
Each frame has a different animal print background to go with it. I tried to choose some really cute jungle/safari animals that would fit with your theme. I hope you enjoy it!

I've been posting so many blog posts lately! Click the header image above to see my home page. I have a new video tutorial up, my currently linky, and some other fun things for you to see!

Do you use clip charts in your classroom?

Currently...JULY??

Oh my goodness, It's JULY!
I can't believe it.
This year is going too quickly...
And I'm getting really nervous about teaching in August.

 I mean, I can't WAIT to meet my littles, but it will be MY classroom.
It'll be my responsibility to teach the sweet children how to read and love it.

Does that ever scare you?
I know there's a lot of you veteran teachers out there who have taught 10-20 years.
Give me some advice! I'd love to hear some wisdom from you!

This is the first time I'll have linked up with





and I'm loving the idea of a Currently post!
I hope you enjoy it!
Here it is:


If you haven't caught my video tutorial, here's the video!
You can also watch my past tutorials by clicking the page link at the top under the header.
I put it there just for you!





Take care!

Technology Tutorial #4 - Dropbox!

I'm so THRILLED to be sharing this technology tutorial with you today! It's definitely one I love to use on almost a daily basis. Today's video tutorial is on...

Dropbox is a tool you can use to save your files through the internet! It allows you to share your files with your colleagues as well. Here are some ways you can use this as a teacher:

  • Send your new files you compiled digitally instead of walking over with a flash drive to share them.
  • Have parents send you photos of family in different places (like a Flat Stanley project, maybe!)
  • You could even send parents information/files through it as long as they have an account!
  • Backup all your teacher files (and freebies!) so that if your computer dies, they will still be accessible
The sky is the limit!

There are so many ways to use Dropbox, so I'm going to go ahead and introduce it to you through this YouTube video I recorded last night. I think I'm coming down with a head cold, so please don't judge me too harshly! :) I wanted to get this video out because I feel that it is so useful for you as a teacher!

Here it is!





I hope that you take the time to fill out this quick form to help me out! You don't have to put in your email address. You can just click this link here --> Get Your Dropbox Account!

How would you use Dropbox?
