Publications:
Sharing my ideas and work, through blogging and social media, has served as a means to reflect and to connect. My writing makes me a better leader and educator by pushing me to purposely and carefully look back at my work in order to process and grow. My writing has also allowed me to become a better global teacher, by sharing my ideas and interacting with teachers from all around the world.
Here are links to my blog, other publications, and social media spotlights.
MrMikekaufman, the blog
In 2017 I began writing and publishing my own blog, where I wrote about best practices, tech tips, and my own experience as an educator.
YouTube
Here is a link to my YouTube page, which is an educational channel that has almost 1,600 subscribers and 1 million views. This channel hosts videos for both students and teachers, and covers tech tips, informative content videos, and reading and writing tutorials.
HighFiveHistory
HighFiveHistory is a blog I co-created with my colleague and friend, Jason Deehan, in order to share best practices and edtech tips for teaching. I was an active writer on the blog from 2016-2017.
