New Website Coming to Taylor ISD
We will be transitioning to new district and campus websites in June. No teacher web pages will be transferred to this new system. Therefore, please make plans to save anything you need over the next several weeks. Hopefully you already have copies of everything you may need. This video will explain more details.
Introduction to Edlio- New Website for Taylor ISD
Introducing the Edtech Minute!
In the weeks to come, I want to step up my efforts to share technology tips with you through a segment I call the EdTech Minute. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to give me feedback and suggestions on future editions by sending me an email at jphale@taylorisd.org. Please also share these videos with others outside of TISD.
Edtech Minute- Episode 1
Nearpod School Edition: Copies Still Available!!!
Are you looking for a dynamic tool to engage your students in the learning process? Gain immediate feedback as well as assign independent work using the full edition of Nearpod. The free version has some great tools but for the first 8 people that email me I will provide a full version of the program through the next school year. Just send me an email at jphale@taylorisd.org. (The only condition is that you share how great the product is to others.) Learn more about Nearpod.
