1. Rearrange Classes in Apple Classroom-Apple Classroom pulls our course names from PowerSchool, so we can't make edits to the names. In order to keep track of your classes, you can rearrange them to match your schedule. In Apple Classroom, click on 'Edit' in the top right-hand corner. The classes will wiggle (similar to apps on your iPad) and you can tap and drag them in order.
2. Quizlet-Quizlet has come out with two new features this summer. The first is the Learn Feature. This feature is an adaptive practice that responds to correct and incorrect answers. It focuses on student mastery of the content. The second feature allows teachers to label a diagram. This can be used in almost every subject! 3. Google Calendar Search-Searching in Google Calendar is a super quick way to find meetings! Just type your keywords into the search bar and let Google do the rest! It will generate a list view of any events that match your search. You can even use the drop down arrow to filter your search results. Check out the pictures below!

1. Flippity-You might remember Flippity from previous years. It originated as a way to generate a Jeopardy game for your classroom. Since then, it has evolved way past that! It now has many different activities and games that can be created using a Google Spreadsheet. If you use Quizlet, you can simply copy your terms from the export page and paste it into a GoogleSheet and voila, you are ready for Flippity!
2. Learner Dictionary-Having students find definitions for academic words or STEMs is a natural part of our classrooms. Students, however, are not always skilled at finding a definition that they can understand. Try using a Learner Dictionary for common English definitions. 3. Google Translate-Denisse brought up the Google Translate app at our last staff meeting. This app allows you to take a picture of handwritten work and translate it to English. Below is an example! 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. |
