Eric Langhorst is an 8th grade American History teacher at South Valley Junior High School in Liberty, Missouri. His blog post this week was the subject of a presentation that he was supposed to do for a convention. It was a snow day so it got canceled. He decided to post a youtube video of his presentation titled Best Sites and Apps for Teachers. He used screencast-o-matic to make his presentation which includes a list of 50 websites and apps that might be useful to a teacher. He also includes links to everything. I saved the video to my favorites so I could refer back to it.
In my comments I mainly introduced myself and thanked him for posting such a valuable resource.
For my blog post this week I had to go back to a previous blog post by Mr. Langhorst, because he did not have a new posting. He writes about attending the 2012 Google Teacher Academy. He talks about Google tools,Google Culture, and the GTA network. He talks about what a great experience it was and how much information he took away from it. One of the most interesting parts o his blog post was his description of working environment of Google the Company. _20% time, relaxed campus atmosphere(where employees can bring their pets to work with them), prepared meals in the Google cafeteria, bowling alleys, and massage rooms-Google truly sounds like an innovative place to work for. Mr Langhorst had nothing but good things to say about his experience. I hope that I have a chance to attend one of them one day. Hello my name is Heather Heiskell I am a student in EDM 310, at the University of South Alabama.This was a really interesting post. I have used Google plenty of times, but I have never thought about it much further than that. I hope I have the opportunity to visit Google for myself one day and attend one of these conventions. Thank-you for sharing.
