Stay Tuned

Hi, welcome to my page!

I am a 7th grade algebra teacher at a charter school in the San Jose area. Recently, I attended the pilot Google Teacher Academy, where I learned ALOT about how to implement Google products into the classroom. In exchange for calling myself a "Google Certified Teacher," I had to choose three different methods of broadcasting the knowledge I had gleaned. Thus one of the ways I have decided to do this is through keeping a weekly blog of how Google has enriched my life. Over the next few weeks, I will be posting lesson plans, different school-wide implementations, as well as open forums for other educators to enjoy. This is a work in progress, so please be patient! It may take a while for me to get this running, but until then, feel free to check out my newly created blog for my students and I at fenwayclassroom.blogspot.com. (Keep in mind, this is also a work in progress! :))

Go Sox.

Hello Ms. Shinn!

So what did you think about the Google Teacher Academy experience? I'm thinking of applying for the one coming up in New York.

Any advice about the application?

How about the video - any advice there? Would you be willing to share yours with me, for inspiration? I've managed to find several on YouTube and elsewhere. They've been helpful.

Thanks!
