Managing Chrome Extensions
Do your students' Chromebooks constantly have popups or games appearing inside their browser? Have you noticed a Chromebook acting weird, running slow, or not allowing educational apps to work? Too many extensions installed on a student's account can slow their Chromebook down, and this can cause the wireless network to run slower for everyone else! Check out this 90 second video to learn more!

There is still time to win a free hour lunch break!
In the January 10th Tech Tip Newsletter, we announced a monthly "Hour Lunch Break On Us" drawing for someone from each campus! Your name will go into the pot for each CIT Challenge pin you've earned during the current month. A CIT will cover your class for 30 minutes directly before or after your normal lunch break. January winners will also each receive a Panera Bread Gift Card! Today is the last day to submit a request for a pin to be entered in January's drawing. See the January 10th Tech Tip Newsletter for full details on the CIT Challenge.
Augmented Learning
High School students in Ms. Meza's Integrated Physics and Chemistry class used phet simulation to practice their knowledge about the construction of atoms.
3D Modeling and Printing
Mrs. McGrew's 5th grade classes at VHE used SculptGL, a free digital sculpting app, to create a 3D model of the Earth, moon, and sun that shows their physical characteristics. The students then printed their models using 3D printers.
Discovering Planets with Chromebooks
Ms. Slechta's 3rd grade class at Hutto Elementary used Chromebooks to research planets. They then took notes on what they learned!
