What happens when a Google Certified Teacher takes a job behind the Great Fire Wall? I thought the answer to this would become less ambiguous after a few months in China, but surprisingly the answer's still not so clear. What is definitive is that the blogs I've been using for my various classes for more than a few years are now in a Han Solo-cryogenic state of hibernation.

The evidence of tech integration in my previous classes spoke for itself through my students' sharing of work, ideas, and products. Now, so much of the publishing stage of their work is on internal servers, that I feel the need to document this somewhere. So if in effort to share some of the potentially cool, and not so cool, things going on in my classes, I'll be using this blog (recycled grade 12 site) as a platform of productivity, a professional page, a pyt of a pln, and all sorts of sordid alliteration.

My Alarm Clock App - 7 Minute Warning

My Alarm Clock
By Apalon Apps

Love this app! I've been trying to sort out a proper app/alarm clock for some time. 

Like most of us, I appreciate some "winding" down of the lesson- reflect on/recap what we have done and to review homework etc. 

This app not only allows me to set multiple alarms (for all my class periods, and all the alternative periods when we have community events - which is quite a lot), BUT I get to use my own audio for the alarm itself. 

So, as long as it can be put in a playlist in iTunes, it works. So, I get to create my own audio tracks!

Creepy attention getting guy... 7 minute warning
