This Week's News
Welcome Back Amy Nuetzmann! Amy will be joining us September 29th as a reading teacher. She will be split between here and Franklin. We are happy to see her back supporting our students!
Need Ideas or Want to Share? Don't forget to read and post at our RV Google Community: What If We...
Tech Support: Who to call for help...
- Help Desk: Software/program or immediate needs to support instruction immediately
- Tech Mentors: Questions that are not immediate or tech/teaching integration
- Tony: Does everything but always needs work order. He's nice and will want to do it, but he has to have work orders to document his time and prioritize orders.
- Chromebooks: be sure they are charged before sending them to get fixed. They may need to charge for several minutes and be used when they are plugged in at first.
- PowerSchool: Call 5351 to talk to those who are experts on PowerSchool.
iReady: Be thinking about which "bubble" students would be a good fit for iReady instruction. You can add your students before next Wednesday using this Google Doc if you prefer.
It Mattered to That One!
Thank You to LUMC for our Little Lending Library!
We are thankful for our volunteers!
Cadre Work
Tech Cadre Update: The tech cadre will meet on October 16 at 7:45am either in Ms. Jacques room(226) or the PD room. We recognize the wealth of technology sources available now and the stress of figuring it all out, so the team members have each chosen an area of technology to research and work with during the next few weeks. The results of those 'trials and experiments' will be presented at the October 16th meeting. Some of the projects are: Kidblog; google.docs; Flipped Classroom; Vocki, Google Drive, Educreations, Skyping; Symbaloo; Twitter; Google Classroom; Journeys/Think Central and more! Join us if you want!
