Cool Tools for 21st Century Learners: Back to School With Google Docs

Cool Tools for 21st Century Learners: Back to School With Google Docs | E-Learning and Online Teaching | Scoop.it

Last year all of the students in our school district received Google Docs accounts and I was kept quite busy all year getting students up and running and then finding innovative ways to use the tools for learning. Upon reflection,if I got the opportunity to do it all over again there are three things I would make sure to do at the start of the year to kick off Google Docs.

But wait, there’s more! With every connection you make on Tioki, your professional network automatically expands, increasing your access to increasingly more knowledge and opportunities.

Dennis T OConnor's insight:

Tioki is a combination social network for educators and job search service. It will appeal to younger teachers who are learning their way into the profession.  The profile elements help new teachers highlight their skills.


While I concentrate on E-Learning, I wanted to curate this interesting social network based job search site.  Young teachers are a precious commodity. Those saavy enough to use this service well have already distinguished themselves as above average.


For those involved in virtual education at the K-12 level, it may be well worth your time to network here.

E-Learning Certificate Program: Finding E-Learning Jobs

E-Learning Certificate Program: Finding E-Learning Jobs | E-Learning and Online Teaching | Scoop.it

Online teaching was the perfect part-time job for me. E-learning and online teaching replaced coaching and after school clubs as a way to supplement my income.


I loved it! I was working with great teachers from around the world and learning new things everyday. I also realized I was opening a door to a new career.


Eventually, after 25 years in a traditional classroom, I decided to take early retirement, and pursue my passion for online teaching and learning full time.

Dennis T OConnor's insight:

After 25 years in public school classrooms I was beginning to burnout. Going back to school to learn about online teaching gave me a new career and a renewed sense of purpose.  I love it! 

Waunita A. Scott's curator insight, March 2, 10:57 PM

The idea for Tioki, an online professional network exclusively for the education community, wasn’t happenstance, but it wasn’t planned either.


The company has since expanded beyond HR into a connectivity, discovery, and knowledge-sharing platform and changed its name to Tioki. Dubbed “The LinkedIn for Teachers,” Tioki’s purpose is to advance the education system by connecting all of the people who know it best, with the intention of sparking conversation and collaboration that would not likely happen otherwise.
