TACO 'bout Technology
October 2017
Mark Your Calendars
Hungry to learn about new technology this year? Want time to try out new tools that can be easily integrated into your classroom? Please mark your calendars for Thursday, October 19 during both lunch sessions with a rain date of Thursday, October 26. The LRC will be set up with mini technology stations and provide you time to collaborate with peers and experience some of these tools yourself.
What's cookin' in the LRC during the event?
New iPad Apps
Grab an iPad and explore some of our purchased iPad apps. A full list will be provided and a preview to all the purchased apps can be found here.
Green Screen
New to green screen filming? No problem! It's seriously as easy as 1, 2, 3. Anyone can do it with the app Do Ink. Come see for yourself!
Don't wear green or DO and get an instant outfit change!
Ozobot bits
These tiny robots from the Science Center are visiting Congress Park for a limited time. These amazing robots are an easy, simple way to introduce students to coding. You will fall in love with them immediately!
Bloxels
If you have a student who loves gaming and has an interest in game creation, this is an instant hit. Schools from all over cannot stop talking about them! This set is borrowed. What are you thoughts? Would this be a good addition to our school?

This is an oldie but goodie. A simple circuit board with endless possibilities.
BYOD
Bring your own device and share what you are working on or allow yourself time to create and explore. Any and all tools are welcomed!
