The post Productivity Tips and Tools for Teachers and Students – SULS032 appeared first on Shake Up Learning.
The Tech Chef, Lisa Johnson, is on the show today!
She discusses fantastic productivity tips and tools for teachers and students that she outlines in her new book Creatively Productive. (She even shares some cool templates!)
With her love for creating time-saving practices and for helping students and teachers succeed in the digital world, she has condensed her knowledge into a wonderfully done book with amazing done-for-you resources.
I am so excited for you to bask in all the knowledge Lisa has to share!
Lisa, better known as TechChef4u, has been educating for more than 18 years with experience ranging from high school English and middle school math to international curriculum development, creating and developing workshops, and managing technology integration camps within the state of Texas.
The impetus for writing her new book stems from her passion for instilling college and career readiness skills in her students. She loves to “cook up” purposeful, engaging, authentic resources to meet educator’s needs, and her new book is a wonderful companion for using those resources.
This conversation is everything y’all! Lisa is so knowledgeable about how tech can impact your classroom and your student’s lives for the better. She has spent a great deal of time working on finding the best productivity-boosting activities and resources, and this shows in her new book. So take a moment, listen close, and learn from the amazing Tech Chef, Lisa Johnson.
