Bird University: Thinking About Earning a Diploma?
Bird University: Diploma Bound has been officially approved for MSDE/CPD credits. If this is the path you are choosing or thinking about choosing, you will earn 15 BU credits in return for 1 MSDE/CPD credit. We will talk more about this at grade level meetings as you will have to use the Online Registration System to sign up.
You will also have the choice to do BU without MSDE credits, attend the choice PDs every 4th Monday of the month, or participate in the Digital Learning University offered by ODL.
ODL Digital Learning University aka Workshops on Digital Tools: Great resource!
ClassFlow and OfficeMix are the hot topics now. ClassFlow will be offered here at Joppa View on October 29th from 4:15-6:15. I'm going! Who else wants to join?!
There are also trainings on Wixie and all BCPSOne tools and beyond.

Tool I'm Loving Right Now: OpenEd
It's a one stop shop outside of BCPSOne.
Let's you search for all types of media by the Common Core Standard. Learnzillion, Learning Games for Kids, PBSLearning Media, Mr. Nussbaum, and Kahn Academy are just a few of the ones that come up. Then you can link the sites to tiles for your students to access.

Door Decorating Contest: No Frills, Just Fun
PSA: Do not look on Pinterest (well you can if you want to), but this is supposed to be a ZERO PRESSURE, school spirit, fun activity. It is not mandatory. Once doors are finished, it could be a nice brain break to have your students walk through the halls to see other doors or practice walking in the hallway. You can have your students draw pictures and post them on your door, take pictures and post them, or decorate it with something special. And if you simply don't want to, that's okay too! I still have to decorate mine!! Hoping to start it next Tuesday :).
