Tech Mex Tuesday
Unless there is something you would like, which I am open to, I'm going to start with Google Drive and Docs since we are starting to use that the most. I'd like to move to Google Forms as well for doing tests and quizzes. I would also like to take this time to share other possible relevant tech or app ideas as well like SeeSaw, Flipgrid and Wakelet.
I don't see this being a just me teaching time, rather about collaborative learning and giving you time to explore and learn by doing. I don't have all the answers but feel like I have some. Heidi also has done a great job with the Google products and can be a resource for anyone.
Parent-Teacher Conference Scheduling Change
INPEC 2018 Conference
Speaking of schedules, the Indiana District is recognizing Jon Mielke at the conference and will be hosting a reception prior to the dinner hour. We'll want to take that into account as we decide our own dinner plans. I am looking forward to having dinner as a faculty that night. It is one of the highlights for me at least.
Hotel and registration are already taken care of for this conference. One person in each hotel room will need to pay for their room. EACS will not reimburse the school for these, only individuals. Keep detailed receipts for food etc and track your mileage (paid @ .38/mile this year) if you are the one driving. I'll get you the needed paperwork and info in October.
