Happy Birthday and Adieu Div1 Edtech in EPSB!

We Are Five Years Old

Five years ago a number of Edmonton Public School teachers and Rick Stiles-Oldring, who was a technology consultant at the time, felt there was a need to support teachers of K-3 students with educational technology. As a result, this blog launched on March 22nd, 2012 with five blog posts:

• HELP! How do I get my class logged onto the computer for the very first time?
• Google Earth in Grade 1
• Google Presentations for Visual Learners
• Google Presentations in Grade One!?!?
• Word Q for struggling and reluctant writers

Including the post you are reading, there are now 155 posts on this blog! The most popular posts in the past five years are:

• Digital Worksheets - Using Google Drawing In Math (2014)
• Throw Out Those Clickers and Use Plickers! (2014)
• Concrete Graphs, Photos and A Blog Post (2015)

Adieu

Most of our regular bloggers have since left division one. As a result it is time to retire Div1 Edtech in EPSB. Thank you to all of our readers, supporters and bloggers. The blog will remain up but will not have new posts.
