Welcome to Our Tribe!

Welcome to TechTribeEDU - A place where teacher technology-users of every ability level can:
  • Learn
  • Gather inspiration for ideas
  • Read about our "tried and tested" adventures in technology

We hope that this will encourage others to try these tools and activities in classrooms that are using technology and feel confident when doing so.

We are two teacher buddies that have taught together at a Title I, high-poverty school in Lakewood, CA.  This school site is currently integrating 1:1 Chromebooks in grades 2nd-6th.  Our Transitional Kindergarten (TK), Kindergarten, and 1st grade classrooms will be joining us on our 1:1 roll-out next school year (2018/19)!

Our Why:
We started this venture as a means of connecting with other educators who were in the same place as us...we were given the technology, but not a lot of instruction on how to implement it effectively, efficiently, and in a way that reached ALL of our students. We also don't have the luxury of an official district technology TOSA.  So much of our learning and implementing has been done on our own terms - with skills that we've had to pick up and acquire along the way.  Our goal is to share what we know and have learned to help other educators use technology in a meaningful way.
