This document discusses using technology to enhance teaching resources, including Google Docs, smartphones, and Twitter. Google Docs allows collaboration and sharing of documents without file attachments. Smartphones are useful for students to create media like recordings and photos for assignments. Twitter is recommended for teacher professional development through following other educators, hashtags, and chats to find resources, ideas, and opportunities for collaboration.
