WOW! Check out Katie Grassel's Great Doctopus Tutorial

Doctopus lets teachers automatically create copies of shared documents and distribute them to students in Google Docs. If you are struggling with managing Google Docs in your classes, here you go!

I always thought Doctopus was sorta technical and nerdy, but guys, it's NOT, it's awesome! It's as easy as Flubaroo. Check out Katie Grassel's great tutorial below and see for yourself. Thanks so much Katie!

You are WINNING

I heard a story recently about an Instructional Technology Specialist who observed a great lesson in a teacher's room. The ITS said to the teacher, "Wow! That was wonderful! I'm so impressed!" and the teacher replied, "I know, but don't tell anyone or they'll all want to steal my lesson, then everyone will be doing it." The ITS person walked away in disbelief. In our field, "everyone is doing it" when "it" is a great lesson is our #1 goal. How could anyone have so completely missed the point? Sharing, being copied, or whatever you want to call it is WINNING in education! Be a winner today; share something.
