Activity #1 -Tech Sharing
• The Best way to learn is to teach.• You will be sharing something that you have recently
discovered online related to technology.• It could be a website, blog, video(s), social media site
and/or something new in on-line news. • If you can not think of something to share begin by
doing some research. Go to websites like www.mashable.com or www.yahoo.com
• You will be putting together your information into a 5slide Google Presentations presentation.
Note: the marking scheme indicates all areas that will be evaluated.
Teachers
Many of my technology lessons and website investigations have come from doing this Tech Share exercise with my students.
Students are constantly online and have great ideas to share if given the opportunity. These ideas can become your future lessons.
