C4T Assignment

MiGoogle Blog: Brighton High School hosted the 2013 Michigan Google Conference and Mr. Sowash was able to coordinate the event. Not only was he able to coordinate it but it broke last years record by having over 600 attendants, being completely sold out. On day 2 he was able to give the key note speech of how teachers should be "Dot Connecters" instead of students being "Dot Collecters". The rest of the conference was showing the hottest new google topics.

My comment: Mr. Sowash my name is Lucas Skinner and I am a student in EDM 310 at the University of South Alabama. That is awesome you were able to head the google event! I have heard about that conference last year and have been wanting to attend since I understood what it was. Your enthusiasm in involving technology into students education in today's world is very inspiring. I feel exactly like you in terms of helping students excel in the education environment by having teachers be Dot Connecters.

5 Chrome Settings that will Make Teachers Smile: Mr. Sowash makes not only teachers live easier, but any Google Chrome internet browser user. He tells of many useful tips and tricks to make Chrome even that much better of a internet browser. Two of my favorite tips he talks about is tab sync, and open tabs on startup. Being able to open up Chrome and specific tabs you always visit already being opened is what tab sync is about and makes it so much easier. If I am on a tab on my phone or iPad and need to open it up on a different device I can open up chrome on the other device and those tabs already be opened as long a I am on the same Chrome account between devices. He goes on and talks about 3 more useful tricks like "Zoom" and "Settings Search".

My Comment: Hey Mr. Sowash my name is Lucas Skinner an I am enrolled in EDM 310 at the University Of South Alabama. Google Chrome is my favorite internet browser and I never knew about these tricks. My life has become so much easier even since I read your blog and learned about "Tab Sync" and "Open Tabs on Startup". These two tricks have helped me out very much with studying and doing other school work. Keep up the good work!
