Are you ready to get wired?

Whether you're a new teacher or just new at heart, education is increasingly becoming a digital experience. Here's your place to find fun, functional, and (most importantly) FREE sources to enhance your classroom via the world wide web - and ways to fund it all. Okay maybe not ALL, but at least a great, big, giant portion of it. Are you ready to get wired?

Well Hello There!


Welcome to the TechKNOW classroom! I am a fifth grade teacher in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Through my nine years of teaching I have had a lot of success finding and securing funds for my classroom and utilizing online programs that are no cost to teachers but are amazingly engaging for students. I have so much to show you that I'm having difficulty deciding what to share first!
So take a seat, buckle up, and get ready to take the scenic route down the information superhighway. You'll see things you've never noticed before - and once you get out and start using the things you see, you'll never want to leave. Look for two posts a week - one on a website or funding opportunity, and one on an app. They may both come on the same day, but I live life in the (increasingly busy) fast lane so it's the best I can do.
If you use something and you like it - or find a different way of using it - please make comments and share. This is an opportunity to "talk" and do all that engaging "stuff" that we never get time to do "8:20 - 3:40," so feel free to get the conversation started.
Hope to hear from you soon!
