Sneak Peek of the New Website!
You did not see this image from me (wink, wink).
This past week the leadership team was able to get a sneak peek of the new TEKSRS website. There is still so much to do, but I was ecstatic about the changes and needed to share!
- The image above is the dashboard you will see when you log in. You can add "classrooms" which are the different grade and content areas.
- Within the classroom you can see the YAG and set the unit. It will then have a pacing bar to show how you are progressing through the units for the year.
- The calendar will show when the unit will occur according the the YAG or YCT. You can also add PAs to the calendar.
- There will be a place for teachers to upload outside links and resources within the site.
- The Unit Check allows for teachers to pull a question from the TEKSRS test bank and provide a formative assessment with an ExamSpark link for online use.
- Each part of the IFD allows for teachers to take notes and add links.
- The website will be able to be integrated into LMSs.
- The website is also user friendly on tablets and smart phones.
There are so many more features and exciting changes! Please note, that anything can be changed as the development continues.
Also, the plan is still for the website to be switched next winter. The team is working hard on making sure it as smooth as possible without much or any work being done on the districts part.
I will continue to fill you in as I learn more and will be providing training as soon as I know the rollout will occur.
