How-To - CTJConnected

The Ed Tech Monitors have set the main goals for this semester:

  • Give tech support to teachers and encourage even more of us to become content creators
  • Give tech support to teachers who are in the process of turning themselves into Educational Technology users
Never have we had such a great response from this wonderful crowd of educators in relation to the technological field. It has been some years now that we´ve had a team working for CTJ, but the time has come. Now, everybody sees the importance of adding this digital element into their lesson plans. It´s not a matter of being a "cool" teacher or even a "digital" one, but it´s about relevance, content, and connecting our students to the world. It´s about showing how relevant English is in a connected world.

So, here´s our deal. We start this blog to be our open channel, a place where we connect, ask and share. The Ed Tech Team and any of our teachers can be bloggers here to give a tip, to share a cool resource, or to tell us about a nice lesson plan.

Well, we start with a tutorial on how to use our CTJConnected wiki. Enjoy! And we´re waiting for your feedback.

Be a little patient to load the video.

  1. The tutorial is great Carla! =]
    One thing that I think is important to mention about the ctjconnected is that teachers have the option to star the pages (levels they are teaching in the semester) and choose to receive notifications only of the starred items. If any of you don't know how to do so, talk to one of the EdTech monitors!

    Nice tutorial. I believe more and more people are using the ctjconnected, so it is very important that we teach them how to use it well. Great job!
