Classroom Tech-- Let's Wrap it up
Get your student devices cleaned up for summer!
In this newsletter:
- clean up the Google Drive (for all devices)
- clear the camera roll, sign out of apps, reset data in apps, clear the camera roll (student iPads)
- coaching videos are for you or for students... show the video in class and pause as your students go through the steps.
PRO TIP-- read all the headlines to see what information you need! Don't miss something!

First, two announcements---
How? Open SETTINGS, tap SOFTWARE UPDATE on the right side, then follow the directions.
2. Teachers of 8th graders-- Please, if you haven't already, share with your promoting students how to save any Google Files they want to preserve by downloading them, or moving them to a personal google account (this should be done on a non-school device at home or library etc.)
File Management in Google Drive (for all teachers)
- rename or delete any "untitled documents" and
- store all their files in a folder for the year. This can be a newly created "Mrs. Hoppe 6th grade folder" (I mean, use your own name and grade...) OR (if you use Google Classroom) you can have them move files into the Classroom folder.
This will make sure they start next year with a fresh "My Drive" view-- and it will start teaching good file management skills to students.
This video has demonstrations you can share with students, and teacher tips at the end.
Archive Class in Google Classroom
This means you can still access posts to reuse them next year, but they won't show on your main tile page and students will not be able to post in the classes any more.
Please archive your class so your students will have a fresh page next year.
Not sure? Feel free to email me!

iPad teachers
The key is to think about the apps you use, then consider what you need to do to get them ready for the fall. As always, let me know if I can help with anything!

But do take time to get iPads closed out for the year so you can start fresh in August.

I will approve tasks once a week-- I hope. I mean, I'm on summer break, too, so I might forget the day of the week. :)

IMPORTANT-- take time now to clean up your inbox in your @hueneme.org exchange AND in your @hsdschools.org account.
ESPECIALLY if you don't use your @hsdschools.org because I bet you have junk you can just throw away! (That trashcan icon can be your best friend!)
