iPad (& More) Resource Center Website
To prepare my colleagues for iPad integration, I created this Weebly site dedicated to iPad usage and Web 2.0 tools. We have a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy at our school so I found it pertinent to include Web 2.0 tools with iPad information. I am currently adding to it as I find new apps or as my colleagues suggest new apps or provide new resources, so this will always be a work in progress.

My Blog
As a part of the iPad (& More) Resource Center, I maintained a blog where I detailed my personal experiences with technology integration in my classroom and I shared ideas of what I could do in the future or what others can do with specific applications or Web 2.0 tools.

Instructional Videos for fellow Teachers
When working in an international school, there is often a high turnover rate. Therefore, I took it upon myself to create some instructional videos about Moodle, our school's CMS (course management system), Edline, our online grading program, and I helped our Libraries Coordinator create videos for the library databases. I strive to be a resource for others, and creating these videos has helped new teachers who are often bombarded with information at the beginning of the year feel like they are able to find the answers they need when they need them.
