1. New Spheros-We received a new set of 12 Spheros, bringing our total to 24 Spheros and 12 Ollies! These devices are available for coding activities, class rewards, Advisory units, vocab practice, and more! Reach out if you are interested in using them! 2. View Tabs in Sheets-If you want to switch to a specific tab on Google Sheets, but don't want to hit the arrows 80 times, click on the 4 bars in the bottom left-hand corner. This will open a list of the tabs and from here you can click on the one you would like to go to. 3. Schoology Champions Program-If you're interested in learning more about Schoology, features, upcoming tools, and joining an online community of like-minded teachers, then check out the Schoology Champions Program. It is free to join and you earn prizes for completing challenges that are directed towards deepening your understanding of the platform and interacting with other teachers. Through a version of this program (I am a member of the Schoology Ambassador Program), I have earned a shirt, socks, and lanyard! It's also one of my sources to gather these wonderful tech tips!

1. Sphero Kits-We now have Sphero kits available for projects! We have 12 Sphero Sprk+ and 12 Ollies. Both are programmable robots that can be used in a wide range of projects! Use this site and filters to explore projects that you could use in your classroom! Check out our Spheros in action! Shout out to Kim Basile and Jeni Teramoto for being brave and being the first to try them out! 2. Google Apps Shortcut-When using Chrome, there is an 'Apps' shortcut in the top left-hand corner. This shortcut opens up a dashboard of quick links to most of the Google Apps and extensions that you have added to Chrome. 3. Google Expeditions-I wanted to remind you that Google Expeditions has a ton of really neat new resources! They have now enabled the AR experience for some tours (versus the VR experience where students stay in one location and move their iPad in all directions to view a scene around them). This means that students would now see an object placed in the classroom and then can walk around it and view it from different perspectives. Here is an article that goes more in depth, but definitely check out the video at the bottom of the page! The best way to view all of the tours Google Expeditions has to offer is by downloading the app and browsing their list. They have tours of colleges, body systems, landmarks, historical events, ecosystems, etc. As always, please reach out if you have an idea for a project or starting the goal implementation process! I'm also happy to meet with content teams to listen to your upcoming units and propose ideas that fit with your activities. |
