Google Chrome

I received an email this morning from TCEA, a technology education and development organization that offers great conferences and workshops in Texas.  Now that Google Chrome has been added to our school division's image, it is time to start exploring this as a great accessibility tool for students that need additional support.  Here is just one of the many extensions and apps that can be added to the Google Chrome browser.  Have a read through these 'tech notes' for further information about Read and Write.

Storytelling with Maps

Storytelling with Maps is a great online, interactive resource on a variety of topics.  This resource came to me through an email from TCEA a Texas-based technology organization.  I've become aware of some great tech resources by adding myself to their email list.
Storytelling with maps allows you to browse through story maps that have been created by other individuals as well as choose from a selection of templates to create your own story map.
If you are interested in teaching students how to make statistics come alive and relevant using storytelling with maps, here is a 'white paper' that explains what the website is all about:
