This notepad gives the students space to draft out thoughts, lists, etc. while taking a test. Use this help guide to learn more! 2. Gmail-I found out on accident the other day that you can drag and drop emails in Gmail! I thought it was a pretty neat find! 3. iPadOS, Catalina, & iOS13-Apple will be releasing the newest operating system updates for iPhones, Macs, and iPads soon. iOS13 for iPhones will be released on Thursday (9/19), iPadOS for iPads will be released on 9/30, and Catalina for Macs will be released in October. We ask that you do not update your iPad or Mac at this time. Please also talk to your students and let them know that we are not updating the iPadOS yet. I will put an announcement on Schoology closer to the release date to remind them as well.

1. FlipgridAR-Flipgrid released a new feature this summer called FlipgridAR. FlipgridAR takes an ordinary method of sharing student responses via QR code to a new level through the use of Augmented Reality. Take a look at their release notes for a full tour of the feature and definitely check out the videos they've included to see what it looks like in action! 2. Google Shortcuts-Another update that Google released this summer was an improved landing page when you open a new tab in Chrome. Google has already created a few shortcut links based on how often you visit different sites, but you can remove (click on 3 dots on icon) or add (click on the plus sign) to customize the page to fit your needs. 3. Edpuzzle Live Mode-This tip comes to us from Kristen Bearwald! Edpuzzle released the Live Mode feature this summer. This mode allows you to project the video for your entire class to watch and then has the questions pop up on the student devices to answer. To learn how, take a look at their help guide!
1. Schoology Grade by Question in Assessments-Schoology has finally released the long-awaited feature to grade by a question in assessments. I know that many of you have been looking forward to this feature! Take a look at their help guide to learn more! 2. Schedule Emails-Gmail released the ability to schedule when an email gets sent. This is similar to Boomerang for Gmail, without the limitations. To use it, compose your email like normal, then hit the arrow to the right of the Send button. From here, you can choose when your email gets sent out. This is perfect for when you are spending a late night or weekend working and want to get items crossed off your to-do list, but don't want to flood your colleagues' inboxes. To view scheduled emails, click on 'Scheduled' in the left-hand side of the window. This option will only appear when you have scheduled an email. 3. Book Creator & Autodraw-Autodraw has arrived at Book Creator! With this feature, students can begin drawing and the app will give clipart suggestions. Such a neat way for all students to create a high-quality book!
