TECHCon Presenters!
On May 11, over 35 teachers from all across the Scotland County School system came together at Scotland High School to share digital teaching and learning strategies and practices with colleagues. These teachers spent extra time and energy to develop instructional content and resources to share with conference attendees. Their dedication, time, and effort is very much appreciated. Copies of presentations may be viewed through this link.
SHS Beta Club
A BIG thank you to the Scotland High School Beta Club and its Advisor, Lisa Evans, for presenting sessions, ushering attendees, and documenting teacher PD! Many teachers shared that it was very valuable to have the students' opinions and views on digital teaching and learning practices. Thank you to our Beta Club students and advising staff for this support!
Robotics Teams!
We love students! Students love robotics! Therefore we love when students share their robotics experience with us! Huge thank you to the robotics teams from South Scotland, Spring Hill, and Scotland High School for hosting educational sessions at TECHCon. There demonstration of robotic builds and programming really helped to instruct our teachers on how to integrate these practices within their instruction.
Year End Reminders
GoGuardian Reminder
IMPORTANT! Teachers, please make sure that you archive your GoGuardian Classroom after you have completed instruction and have NO need to monitor student Chromebooks. Archiving your GoGuardian Classroom will ensure that students will not encounter access issues when they begin classes again in August.
For help with archiving your GoGuardian Classroom, please access instructions through the following link.
Chromebook Shortcuts
Many of use Ctrl-x, Ctrl-c, and Ctrl-v on a daily basis - cut, copy, and paste are essential functions to utilize in computing. But did you know that there are many other shortcuts that may make your Chromebook life easier. Check out the shortcut keyboard map below for some trips and tricks that may help you throughout your day!
Digital Review Strategies with Quizalize
At this time of the year, it is a race to the end. Instructional time spent throughout the year is being assessed, and we are preparing our students for a successful end of year testing window. With the clock ticking, it is important that everything minute of class time be spent in a purposeful, meaningful way. Consider review strategies that are fun, engaging, and generate meaningful data that can be used to focus student review where it is needed most. Online tools, such as Quizalize, provide this type of interactive review strategy while delivering learner analytics to the teacher. After review, teachers can recommend areas where greater focus is needed by the student and prescribe other study and review strategies that will better serve each student's own learning needs. The video below provides a brief overview of Quizalize, but if you would like more information, please email Instructional Technology for detailed instruction.
