    This week I am talking about Google Tips that can help you stay focused and on task...leading to better productivity! I will also be talking about the importance of focusing on your blessings...(referencing the song "I'm So Blessed" by Cain.) rather than whatever hard time you may be going through or facing.

    5. Keep Your Head Up...with Prayer and Google Keep

    Hey hey! Today’s episode is all about keeping our heads up—both in the classroom and in our personal lives. This week’s tool is for everyone! A teacher, children’s church worker, and a mom with all her many roles! We’ll be talking about a Google tool that is often overlooked, Google Keep, and how it can help us stay organized as teachers and as moms. And then we’ll shift to how prayer is the ultimate way to ‘keep our heads up’ no matter what we’re facing.

    3. Part 2-More about Google Forms for the Back to School Season

    This episode is recommended to be listened to after the previous episode titled, "Lean on Me...and Google Forms." If you're looking for a way to gather information for your new students, I have a Google Form for you! In this episode, I will talk about how you can make a copy of the form and send it to the parents of your students to fill out to collect important "back to school" data. I also have a pre-formatted Google Sheet that connects to the form. All you would need to do is make a copy and link in your responses to it, and it will format and color code things for you! Definitely follow the directions though and do NOT edit the form until you have listened to the instructions! There are some pretty specific directions. I will also link in a little cheat sheet that will help! Google Form Link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ix98baCaXl3Z8ZUyYuAk-9-tkYE9DDPZ2lFfir4RpQo/copy Pre-formatted Google Sheet Link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bZXcK6s3vDFxIB8wO1hM0bhtA3zl3mCFiPOReuu67I0/copy Cheat Sheet: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oApQzNC39jD_0tV8uu_NBVpU44bQN9kVosHlo-3V9E/view?tab=t.0 I would love any of your feedback with this, and if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Savannah@savyed-tech.com!

    2. Lean on Me...and Google Forms

    Hey Mamas! I see you juggling everything... I have a tool that you can "Lean on" and help take some stress away and clear up some paper clutter! I love utilizing Google Forms in my classroom for more than just surveys! While they work great when gathering information from other people, they also can be created to be filled out by YOU to keep your assessment data, intervention data or behavioral data accessible and easily shareable! In this episode, you will find out a variety of ways to use Google Forms such as: Exit tickets, rubrics, escape rooms, permission slips, reading logs, rubrics, etc. You will also learn about some specific features in Google Forms! The goal is for you to start thinking how Google Forms could streamline something in your classroom to make things easier for you! My silly example to lean on Google Forms also applies in our spiritual lives. You may lean on tech, but your spirit was made to lean on God. Now while our ultimate strength relies in God, I do believe He places people in our lives to help us grow and apply the Gospel in our lives…we often call them our village! Lean on each other to get you through the hard job you do as an educator, administrator, coach, etc.…it is NOT easy! You weren’t meant to do this alone, mama! Today, I want you to anchor your heart in gratitude for the people God has placed in your life that you can lean on– Say a prayer of thanks for them today—or better yet, tell them how much they mean to you.

    1. Why Mamas in Ed-Tech?

    Hey mamas! Thanks for tuning in to my first episode! I wanted to take this first episode to tell you a little bit about who you are listening to and why I chose the topic and the title. I have always loved learning about educational technology tools and ways to boost learning in the classroom, but after having my son, I wanted both of my worlds to come together. I wanted to be a part of a community where I could still grow in my knowledge in the world of education, but also learn more about motherhood! Neither is easy and we NEED each other to persevere. I hope this podcast gives you information you can use to make your life easier, as well as encouragement to keep going in this crazy rollercoaster of life! Find me on instagram at Savyedtechmamas! Feel free to email me at savannah@savyed-tech.com ~Helping mamas simplify ed-tech, motherhood, and faith-one "savy" tip at a time!~
