Nice to meet you! I'm a teacher as well. I have not started getting ready for this school year yet, but I plan to get started tomorrow. I am teaching 2 new language arts classes to high school students. My plan is to create lessons that can be posted on Teachers Pay Teachers so that I can make a few extra bucks with my lessons. I do everything in Google Classroom which has made my life so much easier!
I teach high school and you can throw Harry Wong out the window when it comes to high schoolers.
I started following you! I plan to write some posts about teaching soon. Feel free to check out my page @legosnjoysticks.
Thanks! I am curious to see how helpful First Days is with 8th graders, myself. It's been recommended enough that I figure it is a good place to start. I have quite a bit saved on google, but my new district is tech deficient in comparison to my last, but hopefully printing hard copies isn't too challenging. I expect TpT will be getting a lot of my business in the upcoming year. At least until I can iron out the tried and true activities and lessons over the tried and tossed.
Good luck! I look forward to seeing what you share as well!

I thing it is more difficult when the district is tech deficient. I would be doing a lot of stuff with stations, so that the students have access to as much tech as possible. I would love to have my students do something with Steemit, but I have a feeling it will be blocked, and they don't all have phones to create accounts.
What are you teaching?

Science! Thankfully it is not too terribly tech reliant since there is so much hands on and stations are easily adaptable. But I would like to incorporate some coding and interactive activities like virtual fieldtrips and review games.

I do think the students need exposure to coding, but you can do some great experiments in science!
