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!

1. FlipGrid-FlipGrid announced this summer that they would be opening up their entire platform for free to all users! This is great news as it now allows us to use previously 'premium' features! Check out this updates page to learn more. Some of my favorites are GridPals and teacher vibes! They also put together an educator eBook to help you get started and learn about everything this platform has to offer! I attached it below.
2. Book Creator-Book Creator also had some updates over the summer! The biggest change is that you can now embed all sorts of media into a book. FlipGrids, Google Docs/Sheets/Slides, Explain Everything, you name it! Book Creator for Chrome was released last year and has continued to improve! The best feature of Book Creator for Chrome is that you can create a Library and have students upload their books for the rest of the class to view. You can create 1 Library and upload up to 40 books (you can also archive books to make room for new ones). This is perfect for sharing student work! 3. Rearrange Schoology Courses-Rearrange your Schoology courses so that they are in chronological order! Follow the steps below. 4. FastBridge & Apple Classroom-FastBridge testing starts next week! Get prepared by setting up your Apple Classrooms! Follow this tutorial (pages 2-5) to set up your class. If you need help, please contact me! 5. PowerSchool & Schoology-Reminder that it is my personal goal to get all Schoology gradebooks synced to PowerSchool! If you need help, please set up an appointment with me!
1. Keynote Live-Many people have liked Nearpod, but have disliked the limits the free version has. Keynote Live can be a replacement program! Keynote Live allows you to lead your class through a slide presentation. The one downfall is that it is not interactive yet, in that the audience cannot send answers back to the teacher. What you can do, however, is you can embed a link to a Go Formative (which has all of the best features like multiple choice, short answer, show your work, etc.) that the kids can click on. Watch this video to find out how it works and feel free to reach out to me with questions!
2. iOS 11 Tour-To help get to know iOS11, Alison Mahoney, the lovely TIS at Ross/Sullivan, put together this presentation. Feel free to use it with your students or for yourself! 3. Book Creator-Book creator can be used for more than just books! For this photo, I found the background on Google, added the Schoology logo to it in Pages, saved the image and sent it to Green Screen. Then I took my photo with my background and sent it to Book Creator. I chose the Comic template in Book Creator and added the frame, title, and speech bubble! If you have an idea but aren't sure how to go about creating it, let me know! |
