1. Schoology Files-One interesting bug this year with Schoology is certain students will not be able to view a file when the rest of the class is able to. I have been in continuous contact with Schoology about this issue, but they do not have a solution as of yet. If a student is unable to open a file, please email me the name of the student, file, and course and section so that I can pass it along to Schoology. For now, our fix for this issue will be to share the file with your student either through GoogleDrive or by email.
2. Google Keep-This can be for your own use or for your students! Google Keep is similar to 'Post-its' or 'Stickies' with the added benefit of being able to edit them anywhere! Because it's a Google product, it's super simple to share your lists amongst devices and even other people! Check out this site for more info. 3. Green Screen-Our green screen is up and running and ready to be used! In case you've missed it, it's set up in my office, but it can be set up anywhere in the school. It's super simple and the kids have a blast. Shout out to Athena, who has already had her kids filming! The green screen could be used for debates, speeches, how-to videos, reporting, even CERs!

Hi Everyone, I hope that you are having a great start to your week! Welcome to our first Tech Tip Tuesday of the school year! 1. Quizlet Live! You may have used Quizlet in the previously, but last year Quizlet launched its Live feature. This app is a ton of fun and easy to use. Check out this quick video of my class last year. The students don't need logins, you just need to upload your content ahead of time and you can use sets you have created in the past. By having a grade/content username and login, you could even share the work with your colleagues. Check out this how-to article to get started! 2. Reorder Schoology Courses (thank you to Jeni Teramoto who shared this with me!) You can reorder your courses so that they match your daily schedule or put the ones you use most often up at the top! 3. Slow Computer? Try deleting files from your Downloads folder and then empty your trash-you'd be amazed at how many files get saved there! Another tip to keep your device happy is to fully shut it down every day! Computers use that start up time to fix any problems, so it's important to do that regularly. |
