The Sunday Scoop - a new linky
Welcome to the very first Sunday Scoop! We, at Teaching Trio, wanted a quick and easy linky where we could share just a little about what's going on in our lives this week - both at school and at home. Enter the Sunday Scoop!
The Sunday Scoop is based on the popular 3-2-1 graphic organizers so many of us use with our students. Tell us three things you HAVE to do, two things you HOPE to do, and one thing you're HAPPY to do (because these days, we could all use a little motivation to find something to be happy about every week!). Just save the image at the end of this post, add your text to it (we use PowerPoint), and post! You don't even have to explain yourself any further if you don't want to. It's a short and sweet way to connect with each other every Sunday (or Monday... the linky will stay open all week!)
Here's the Scoop on my week...
Don't forget to link up your Sunday Scoop posts before you go! We can't wait to see what you're up to this week!

5 for Friday, a New Look, & a Giveaway!
Happy Friday! Today we are linking up with Doodlebugs for one of our favorite linky parties... Five for Friday! If you stick with us all the way to the end, we promise it will be worth it, because...

If you are one of our faithful flock, you may notice something a little bit different. Okay. Okay. That is an definite understatement. Our page has had a MAJOR face-lift! We have changed, uh, well, everything but the name, authors, and purpose of the Teaching Trio.
Why? I am glad you asked. Our fellow Trio member, Kristen, recently began spreading her wings a little wider to include the world of website design. She is truly gifted! We love, love, love our new blog look! We know our readers will be "chirping" excitedly over our cool new design!

A new look wouldn't be complete without a new linky! We are introducing our new linky today that will run every Sunday. The title of our linky will be the Sunday Scoop! To keep things short, sweet, and to the point, (It will be Sunday after all!) we have included a template! Here it is, if you want to get ahead...
Update the Sunday Scoop template each week. Tell your readers 3 things you have to do, 2 things you hope to do, and 1 thing you are happy to do. Within a wink, a blink, and a link, you have a great post for your readers that helps highlight your personality and your upcoming week. Remember, no products are allowed!

Our Technology Thursday linky received a face-lift too! Below is our new graphic. The Teaching Trio is dedicated to pushing, pulling, and dragging technology into our classrooms despite setbacks such as, you know, little things like pesky budgets and stuff. We are searching for other bloggers to link with us to provide support for our readers. Link websites, tips, tricks, and especially how you use technology in your classroom.

You may be wondering how Kristen started designing websites. I take all the credit. Yep, it is all due to me folks. You can leave your thanks below in the comments. I wanted a small site done for Tech Crazy Teacher to do some blogging projects on my own. I had no expertise in this area what-so-ever, but sometimes it's not what you know but who! In comes my brilliant idea and my friend Kristen. She started on her Chalk and Apples website and then moved onto my Tech Crazy Teacher. They look fabulous! Awesome! Wonderful! And all thanks to me.....well ... and Kristen. Ha!
Check them out!

If you're still reading, you've reached the gold mine! TODAY is Kristen's birthday, AND we have a new look, so we are celebrating in a big way! Thanks to 30 (yes, THIRTY) of our blogger/TPT'er friends, we have three awesome prize packs to give away! Check them out and enter any or all of them! The giveaway runs now through Wednesday at midnight, and we'll announce a winner in next week's Tech Thursday post!

Technology Thursday - 9/4/14
As you may have noticed, the Teaching Trio is getting a makeover this week! While Kristen is working on updating our blog design, we're taking the week off from Technology Thursday.
But that doesn't mean you have to take the week off... Go ahead and link up your tech tips, websites, and apps!
Be sure to come back tomorrow... It's Kristen's birthday and our makeover reveal! What else could we do to celebrate but have a giveaway?!? There are almost 30(!) prizes to be won, so you don't want to miss it!
Be a rule follower!
Rule #1: You must include the image above and a link to our linky somewhere in your blog post.
Rule #2: Follow the Rule of Three...visit the two blogs who link up before you and the one immediately after you and leave some love on their pages!
Rule #3: This linky is not intended for product promotion. You may include products you've created in your posts, but they should not be the sole focus of the post. {Exception...freebies...because everybody loves a good freebie!}
See you tomorrow for the giveaway!
