WhatsApp

Two of my Edgewood co-hort colleagues, Alfredo and Allaweed, shared an app for easy communication with their home families in Mexico and Saudi Arabia called WhatsApp. 

I am excited to try this new app out to more easily communicate with my international friends. Check it out with me.

(I already use Facebook messenger and Text messaging also.  Google phone too - but I am also interested in seeking this out also.)

Tech Tools - reminding myself today

Today during my Law, Media and Marketing I am reminded of the great tool - Symbaloo.
If you haven't used Symbaloo EDU, you may want to review it!  It is a quick way for students to get to connect students with new websites, new content, etc.  I see teachers use this tool for differentiating and/or personalizing learning.  Check it out - SYMBALOOEDU.com

Teachers love this Facebook Group

I haven't really used my Facebook for connecting with learning.  I have used it more to connect with family and friends.  A colleague in my Edgewood co-hort just loves this Facebook community and the teachers she works with enjoys the dialogue also. 

Cultural Humility

I saw a post with this video link.  I believe the key is to take a moment at this time of year and celebrate the traditions you are familiar with and learn of the traditions of others.  Please take 30 minutes of your time and watch a video related to CULTURAL HUMILITY.  The medical community is using this term to better relate to patients, yet there is much that we as public school employees may also utilize as we interact with our various publics.  The people I admire most practice cultural humility naturally. 

This is powerful in my mind.  Kathy
