Wecome to the World of Classroom Technology
My name is Clay White and I am a Technology Site Coordinator for the El Paso Independent School District. Specifically, I am in charge of training teachers in the Bowie feeder pattern (Bowie HS, Guillen MS, Aoy Elementary, Beall Elementary, Douglass Elementary, Hart Elementary, and Raymond Telles Academy). My training involves educating teachers on how to integrate technology into their classroom. I train teachers so that they can use the latest technology to motivate students and improve their education experience.
Google Earth Expands Instructional Opportunities!!
Many educators are familiar with the Google suite of internet tools. Gmail, Google Docs, Picasa, and so on. By far the most powerful educational tool created by Google is Google Earth. This amazing program enables teachers, and students to explore the entire planet (as well as Mars) from their classrooms. Google Earth can provide teachers with a cross-curricular educational tool that can completely immerse students into an otherwise mundane lesson. Google Earth is free for everyone. Go to the Google Earth download center and install the program. I have placed a couple of great Google Earth lessons on my Instuctional Materials pages. If you need any help with installing the program or implementing the lessons, please let me know.
