Control-Alt-Achieve

Do you have any heroes? I do, and a lot of them I follow on Twitter. I'd like to share one of them with you. His name is Eric Curts. He's a Technology Integration Specialist for a school district in Canton, Ohio and I swear he never sleeps. The best thing about him is that he shares so much of what he does openly and for every educator's favorite price: free! Here's some quick things to look for on his website.

The best place to find Eric's Resources is on his web page at www.controlaltachieve.com

On the home page, you will find Eric's Blog. He's a prolific blogger with a ton of quick reads on really innovative and often easy teaching ideas. If you check out the sidebar on the right, you'll see his top ten most popular posts, all of which are pretty cool. If you want, you can sign up for his newsletter, follow him on twitter or add his blog to your RSS feed.

What's even better is his Resources tab. If you scroll down just a bit, you'll see that he has posted links on all kinds of Google Tools. On each one you'll see a list of blog posts, google docs and training videos on the topic. Below that he even has pages for 5 main subject areas. Each of those pages, is then organized the same way, but categorized by Google Tool. Most of the tools he references are part of the Google Suite for Education that our district is a part of, so they are tools we already have and have permission to use. You can always come to me for help with these too, but I thought I'd share one of my favorite resources! Just go to www.controlaltachieve.com.

Good luck!
