Over the years, I learned that Google is your friend when you are a teacher. I have listed three of my best Google Friends. They probably don't even know I exist, but I certainly found them to be helpful. Find these Google experts online and follow them. There are many more, but these three Google stars will make your teaching experience much easier and they are the ultimate Pros! These Education Technology experts share their knowledge and work with others. They also sell books, teach classes, and have podcasts - don't be afraid to invest in your own career as a teacher.

He actually wrote a book called "Ditch that Textbook" and has become a most sought after keynote speaker for educators. This is the link to his blog. Matt is one of my favorite presenters, ever. He is engaging and entertaining. His ideas are so simple you will wonder why you didn't think of that.
