I used to hate Weebly with a passion. Now, I simply hate Weebly. I am less passionate about my hatred!
To me, this is growth. I am now more able to navigate this web-builder, and almost able to produce digestible content. And you know what? The quirks are REALLY growing on me! Lost a page? No worries! I would like to redo that page anyway. So take THAT Weebly, you cheeky devil. You can’t beat me if I am smiling. And maybe in a way, TPACK has some level of parallel. I find myself leaning on tech more heavily to reach my classroom goals. If it weren’t for my ability to use Padlet, for example, I think that semester two would be a failure so far for me in the classroom. When people starting checking out— Padlet has become a way for students to ALL engage, draw, respond, create links, comment, and become a virtual workspace. It’s a small example, but a powerful reality for me. And even though it’s not always perfect, I am finding a home with new tech to deliver opportunity for new content. Google Forms is God-like. Adobe Spark is great. I am using Piktochart with my AP Lit-ters. And as an explore the curriculum with a new set of eyes, I have moments where the trifecta of TPACK is working. And I see it.

Jason, this made me chuckle. I too have lost entire pages of content...but I guess it is an opportunity to make it better. It is strange how dependent we have become on new technologies that were a short time ago, completely foreign (at least to me). I like hearing about what other teachers use, as I've got my list of go to tech tools and they are all different than the ones you've listed here. It makes me curious as to what time savers and learner engagers I could add in.
