Google Calendar and Chromebook Checkout
The chromebook cart of 30 is now available for checkout in Google Calendar. Please remember that when you click to reserve the cart, you must edit the time to reflect the start and end of class. Also, when you click the time on the calendar to reserve the Chromebooks, there is a little drop down arrow that asks which calendar you'd like the appointment added to. Please select "HS Chromebooks." If you don't click anything for this, it will default to your own calendar and nobody else will be able to see your reservation.
If you have a hard time adding calendars to your view, please contact me and I will get you a direct link so that it will automatically add the calendar in question to your view. To toggle between calendars, click the colored box to view various calendars.

How to Select a Calendar for Checkout
To reserve a time, click the down arrow and select the appropriate calendar to add your reservation.
Chromebook Cart Organization
Please make sure your classes do not touch the velcro and place their Chromebooks in the appropriate numbered slot.
Chromebook Cart Organization
I'd recommend that if you frequently use Chromebooks in your class you assign each student a Chromebook number. This ensures that they learn proper procedure for taking their Chromebook out and putting it back.
The 1-iPad Classroom
This year I will be periodically sharing resources pertaining to using your teacher iPad in your classroom. Below you will find information on Reflector, which will be used to project the iPad screen onto your SMARTboard. Please feel free to view those videos to get ideas. I also found a great professional development site with many tips and tricks on using iPads in the classroom. It can be found below.
