CLX Digital Lead Teacher Newsletter
August 2017
Welcome back to a new year!
I hope that your summer was as shark-tastic as it was for these two Eggetts!
For those of you that are new to Claxton, my name is Kimberly Eggett and I'm your Digital Lead Teacher. Think of me as your personal coach in technology integration in your classroom!
How about using tech for data collection in order to make your teaching more meaningful with quick feedback for your students? I've got you!
Want to talk out how to make that area and perimeter lesson more engaging because they are just not getting it? OOoo! Pick me!
Oh snap! But how do I get to work with you?
Cool, cool. What tech do I get to use?
Every teacher has the option to check out devices from the Media Center for short-term project use. Contact Ms. Brown or myself to reserve these on our check out calendar. We also have some sweet stuff in our makerspace, CLX HiVE, including Dash and Dot robots, Little Bits, 2 3D printers and Sphero robots! What!?
Hey! What happened to our student links?
Adding the CLX Master Calendar!
BUT sometimes events change or get cancelled at the last minute, so you can set up receiving an email notification, if that works for you. The following screenshots show you how to do this. Just make sure you click 'Save' at the end :)
Knowledge is Power.
- Big History Project: For culturally responsive classrooms in upper grades, this is a great resource for getting different perspectives in the world. Pretty amazing.
- Edpuzzle! Imagine you can pause a YouTube video and create a digital question to check comprehension. You can totes do that with Edpuzzle AND IT'S FREE! What?!
- Getting Started with Google Expeditions and Virtual Reality: Good intro to virtual reality and what it could look like in your classroom. We have headsets and access to a ACS smart phones for you to borrow!
- Our CLX Social Justice League and CLX HiVE have their own website made through the new Google Sites platform. This is a great way to make your own website and is super easy to use!
- ACS Digital Learning Toolbox: DLTs have worked hard to pull together a site that lists digital tools we use in the district. Check it out!
