In today's world of Infobesity, you need to have a finely tuned truth detector when online. So how do we equip ourselves, and our students to navigate the maze of falsehoods, fake news, and alternative facts online? Here's a few quick resources for you. Play with them. You'll find a way to integrate them into a digital citizenship lesson in no time.
Check out Snopes for the truth behind those social media "news" stories.
Play Factitious and see if you can tell true news from fake news.
Try Bad News and earn a legion of followers (and learn a lesson about why people make fake news.)
Leave a comment sharing your ideas about how to integrate these sites in your classroom.

3D Printing for Fun and Education (And Profit?) - Part 3 - Show me the Money!
"I want to know about making money with 3D printing, and you show me a picture of a lamp?"
- My Reader... probably
Yes, a lamp.
Okay, look. There are more things we have to discuss about 3D printing, but I've teased you with the idea of profit long enough. It's time to get to it. There are some things you need to know first before you run out and buy a 3D printer, so sit tight and keep reading.
First, take a moment to visit Etsy or Ebay and search for "3D Printed." Go ahead. I'll wait.... Back now? Good, let's keep going. There are tons of things for sale on the internet on platforms like Etsy and Ebay that are 3D printed. You could get in on that action too. Obviously there is a market there, and it's relatively easy and inexpensive to get started. Don't yet. Keep reading.

Hello World
Welcome to the launch of Itsthemitchell.com. If you're here, you're probably lost. It's okay.
This will be the hub for my journey into Instructional Technology. We'll talk 3D printers, drones, programming, tech tips for teachers, etc. This will also be a storage bin for all my staff development sessions.
In the meantime, here is a random picture of me from my phone.
Come back later. I'll be getting some content worth reading soon.

The Deposit - Updated 4/20/2020
Welcome to The Deposit. You want Squatters? We got 'em! You want tools? They're here too! You want asparagus? What do we look like, Hello Fresh? Get out of here with your asparagus... unless you use asparagus as a code word that means bacon. We'll enjoy that bacon. Wait... I get it now. You're not saying bacon because you don't want that sweet, adorable piggy bank pictured above to get nervous. How considerate of you. You're super sweet, but I have to tell you something. That pig... it's... not... real. Seriously. It's just a picture of a piggy bank. On the other hand, that bacon you promised me better be real.
Enjoy!
