TECH to CHECK This Summer
Google Slides - New Feature
Google Slides now offers native support for audio files. You can now insert audio into your Google Slide presentations. First, you will need to save the file onto your Google Drive. Then go to your slideshow, click on "File" and "Insert Audio". You will then be able to control the timing of the audio playback, looping, and location of the audio icon on any slide. You can even hide the audio and still have it play when you transition to a slide.Google Sheets - New Feature
Did you know you can now add images into individual cells in Google Sheets. You can upload your own images, or you can use Internet images, icons, graphics, etc. It's a great way to add visual cues and resources for your visual learners. It's a wonderful way to easily and visually organize your information. Just select Insert-Image-Image in Cell. You can even do this on your mobile device and upload any image you have stored there.
Google Mail - New Feature
Scheduler - Gmail now makes it possible for you to schedule email to send any time you want. It is so handy to get an email ready when you have the time, and then have it sent precisely when you want it to get sent. Just compose your email; then click on the down arrow on the send button. Choose "Schedule send," pick a date and time, and voila!
Remove BG
Remove.bg allows you to quickly and easily remove the background of images and icons. There does need to be a person, brand, or central item located foremost in the image, but then it works like a charm. I really enjoy adding transparent graphics to slideshows, worksheets, newsletters, etc. Remove.bg makes it so easy.

And even more exciting...Ron has jury duty. And best for last...my kids all pitched in for my birthday present to see my future husband Paul McCartney at Dodger Stadium in July.
Stephen Galvan:
For the summer I plan to resume my retirement. I will focus more time on making Rhône Style Red Wines. Much time will be devoted to spoiling my grandkids in Camarillo and San Diego. There will of course be mandatory, long, daily walks with my dog, Zoey. Judy and I will join the kids and grandkids at Sequoia National Park in June, and in July at Yosemite. There is some talk of going to New York to see a performance of "To Kill a Mockingbird." What a great way to blow some of the big bucks I got for doing the long term sub assignment. On another front we plan to keep on not winning the lottery twice a week. Thanks for asking. I am looking forward to it. See you all next time.
CJ Foster:
My summer plans begin June 8th. My wife and I are driving across country, our first destination is Lafayette, Indiana to visit friends, then onto Niagara Falls with those friends. After that we'll be traveling to Chesapeake, Virginia to visit my wife's daughter and family, then we'll return home by June 23rd, just in time for summer school to begin. Two weeks pulling our trailer, nearly 7K miles. We're going to need a vacation from our vacation.
Cindy Fernandes:

I am planning on taking a few short trips mostly centered around golf (my outside passion). My wife and I are going to Lake Tahoe to visit my son and daughter in law, going to Paso Robles for Wine Tasting and Olive Oil (my wife knows about this, I am clueless but going along for the fun), going to a three day golf school at Aviara in Carlsbad and going to Whistler BC for a week of golf, tennis, hiking etc. I will also be working with the Robotics Team starting in late July to get a jump on the Robot Competition season.
Hope everyone has a well-deserved summer break.
