Who I am and what I believe...

I am Jaime Speed. I have been a classroom teacher for 11 years and have a Masters Degree in Education and a math endorsement. I am also an Apple Distinguished Educator and a technology leader in my school and district.

Ok, so now that I have that out of the way...
  • I believe the best way to impact where our world is going is to inspire and prepare those that will be the future leaders.
  • I believe that teachers are more important than most people are willing to recognize.
  • I believe that we learn best from each other.
  • I believe that technology is the setting in which our students live. It knocks down the walls of the classroom and shows students that the world and their place in it can really be anywhere.
  • I believe that technology is not "fun" or an "add-on" or "something people are into"; it is a vital skill for all of our students.
I hope you will join me as I post integration ideas, tips, app reviews, my experiences (good and bad), questions, and various musings. I also hope you will post ideas that have worked for you. Collaboration is the best. I am so excited to have you around!
Jaime

DeepCool launches frameless RGB fans that you can control over Wi-Fi

You can use your smartphone to adjust the speed and lighting of these fans.   Fans are not overly complicated for fancy devices. They have blades that spin and push (or pull) air, and some of them light up. DeepCool has taken things a step further, however, by designing frameless RGB smart fan set that hooks into your wireless network. DeepCool's new MF120 set comes with three fans and a controller for them to plug into to. Using a free app that is available for Android and iOS, you can then connect to the controller and cycle through five built-in lighting effects (dynamic, static, breathing, comet, and fashion collision) and 36 interchangeable lighting modes, and also adjust the speed. We're not sure there is a whole lot of utility for controlling your case's fans with your smartphone, but if that's something you want to do, there you go. The fans themselves are uniquely designed. They're frameless in the sense that they don't sit enclosed in a traditional fra...

How to Zip (and Unzip) Files on Windows 10

The ZIP file format reduces the size of files by compressing them, saving disk space, and reducing network transfer times. It also allows you to combine several files into a single one that's easy to share with others. Here's how to zip and unzip files on Windows 10. How to Create a Zip File (Compressed Folder) First, open File Explorer and locate the files or folders you'd like to compress and combine into a Zip file. Windows refers to a Zip file as a "compressed folder," so the terms are interchangeable in this case. We'll be using a group of image files as an example, but you can zip any type of file. If it's a single file or folder you'd like to compress, right-click it and a menu will pop up. Click "Send to," and then click "Compressed (Zipped) Folder." You can also select multiple files or folders in Explorer, and then follow the same steps above to compress them simultaneously. Windows compresses the fi...

Windows 10 Will Soon Show Edge Browser Tabs in Alt+Tab

Alt+Tab is useful for switching between windows, but it can't help you find that browser tab you had open in one of your windows. Soon, Windows 10 will show all your open Edge browser tabs alongside your windows. When this change is available, you can just use the new Microsoft Edge browser normally. When you Alt+Tab , all your browser tabs will appear as their own thumbnail—as if they were their own browser windows. Microsoft Don't like this? That's fine. Microsoft says you can disable it from Settings > System > Multitasking. You can also set it to only show your last three or five browser tabs so tab overload doesn't swamp your Alt+Tab switcher, too. This feature is just for Microsoft Edge right now, but we could easily see it coming to other web browsers. Edge is based on the same Chromium code that forms the basis for Chrome, for example—Google might enable this feature in Google Chrome, too. It's easy to see Mozilla Firefox taking advant...
