December Tech Tips
Welcome to December
The school year is flying by and December is a super busy month for anyone, but especially for educators! We hope everyone enjoys the holiday season this year with family and friends!
Our January PD day is coming soon! Thanks to all who submitted proposals. We are in the process of organizing the day for you right now. The event will take place on January 17th at the new high school for all certified staff members in the district. A light continental breakfast will be served beginning at 7 and lunch will be provided free of charge for all teachers and presenters that day on site. The keynote will begin at 8. Guest wifi will be provided, if you would like to bring a device. More information will follow soon:)
New Google Sites
Google Sites has finally been updated! The new version is super user friendly and easy to use! All students and staff have access to begin building their own websites within the school domain. I'm attaching a quick tutorial to help get you started! This would be a great way for students to showcase what they've learned over a particular topic or to create a digital portfolio that they can keep adding to over the course of their time at PB Schools.
