What's Up in the Tech World
Welcome to February
Hi all,
I have provided a few resources this week for you. The first is just a refresher of a tool I have mentioned before. I have included the link to a great podcast that provides seven steps to help outside-the-box learner. Google Classroom has added a new feature to allow guardian access. I found two amazing new tools that make it easy so much easier to create a flipped classroom. I finish up with some great alternative ideas to reading logs.
I should be at Lower Campus on Tuesday and Wednesday and at Upper Campus the rest of the week.
No Red Ink
This is a tool to work on grammar skills. These exercises include names of popular people that students recognize making the exercises more engaging for students. Free and premium versions are available.

If you have never tried podcasts, let me encourage you to try this one. I am new to podcasts myself but find I enjoy listening on my drive to work or at the gym. This podcast provides ideas of ways we can work with struggling students. Seven Systems that Work for Outside-the-Box Learners.
Google Classroom Parent View
Google Classroom now allows parents to be observers in a class. This video shows how to turn on guardian email summaries for parents.
