Your library username is your 5x2 and the password is your ID. If you have difficulties logging in-email me at harmoka@tulsaschools.org.
There is unlimited access to the Lightbox online resource for the students! Their Username and Password is their student ID.
Mrs. Arterberry and Miss Aguayo used "Night". Miss Aguayo says Lightbox is easy to use and interactive. I like how it includes activities, readings, and the Lightbox standard features. It also includes a lot of visuals which are helpful!

Google Chrome Extensions-So Many! and So Little Time!
If you are a Google Chrome User, did you know you can add extensions that will make your life easier? To add extensions you must create a Google Chrome account (it is NOT the same as your Google account). Type in Google Chrome Login into the browser and create your login. I used my TPS Google account for this.
See the Google Chrome Extensions - Screencastify below to see an example of the extension Screencastify. It's fabulous! I used it for the Lightbox tutorial as well. You can add audio or record without and it's so easy!
Another Google Chrome Extension that I have been using a lot is Kami. It is a pdf viewer that allows the reader to annotate and write within the pdf. Once you have made your changes you may print with or without the changes, save and share with the changes.
Finally, the goo.gl URL shortener is a great tool. I have used it many times.
These are all free to us at TPS with our TPS Google email.
