Practice Blogging in Our New Blogging Community

There's nothing to fear when you blog with peers and have your questions answered along the way.
You're invited to participate in our brand new, "unofficial" blogging community where the Hoover faculty and staff family can create blogs within a blog community. Simply click on "Sign Up" to begin your own blog.
Please visit: http://digitaltornado.21classes.com/

For the next two weeks, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, between 3-4PM after school, Ioan Elvis Sersea will be available in Rm. 269 (next to Mrs. Emmett's room)for online blogging guidance.

Once we can create our own blogs, we will discuss ways in which we can adopt blogs as part of our classroom assignments and share our joint examples and expertise.

Welcome to Digital Tornado - Where Hoover Faculty and Staff Goes Digital

Welcome aboard,
Digital Tornado is the "unofficial" online place for GUSD's Hoover High School faculty and staff to connect to technological advances beneficial for educators.
Here we will host a wide range of internet technology topics of interest to educators and schools and discuss possible solutions in bridging classroom teaching with available online resources.
Hoover faculty and staff can participate in this technology-based digital conversation by responding to the entries here, or by clicking on the "Google Grand Central" button which leads to either an actual voice mailbox, or to a live phone conversation with yours truly, Ioan Elvis Sersea, aka MaestroSersea, aka Elvis Tornado.
