Tech Talk
Matt Elementary | March 2019
Tech Training on 3/19 During Planning
Kim Lochbaum will be here to show us quick and simple ways to use your panel as a station during small group work/rotation time. Please come to the PL room as soon as you drop your kids off at specials.
Milestones Resources
The DOE website has some great resources for teachers and students to prepare for Milestones. One valuable tool is Experience Online. Students can log in as often as you would like to become familiar with the format, layout, and tools used in Milestones online testing. I would love to come to a grade level meeting to share these tools with your grade level or come into your class to introduce your students to the testing platform.
St. Patty's Note Files
Thanks to Kim Lochbaum, you can enjoy this collection of Note pages that can be customized or, in some cases, used as they are. It's like a variety pack so once you've downloaded, it's yours and you can feel free to delete any pages that don't work for you or inspire you to tweak them.
Note downloads are a little weird in Google Drive. Ignore the pop-up box that you see once you click the link and just go to the small download arrow in the top right-hand corner.
GoFormative is now on Classlink for teachers and students
New Equipment is Coming!
All FCS schools are getting more external DVD players, new media center computers, and some webcams. The webcams will have built-in microphones, so you will be able to use them for Google Meets, Hangouts, or Skype calls on your panel. More information will be coming about all this soon!
