Tech Tip: Projector
From David Williams:
I'm starting to see a growing trend where a projector's image starts to flicker. This could be an indication of a bulb nearing the end of its usable life.
Please keep in mind that each projector bulb has a limited number of hours it can be used. A bulb's lifespan is usually around 3000-4000 hours. This means every time you leave your projector on when it's not being used for instruction, it's draining the usable hours. Replacement bulbs are costly.
When not in use, please turn off your projectors. This way we can get the most out of each bulb and can avoid having to replace them prematurely.

Google Drawings can be used by teachers and students as a great way to explain and explore math concepts including shapes, area, angles, pictographs, fractions, and more. Be sure to check out this document to see many examples of Google Drawing projects and the Common Core Math Standards they address.
