YouTube Reminder
Teachers and staff members are now able to "approve" YouTube Videos for students to be able to access from their Chromebooks. This would be for videos you might want students to explore on their own or in small groups.
To approve a video, click the "approve" button when you see it under a YouTube Video to make video available to students on their Chromebooks.

Formative Assessment Meets YouTube
EdPuzzle is a formative assessment tool that uses videos to deliver multiple choice or open-ended questions to students while they are viewing a video online. Because standardized testing is moving to using media in assessment, EdPuzzle provides a nice opportunity for students to show what they learned from a video right then, and depending on the question asked, synthesize information from the video with other knowledge or sources.
NICE MiniCon
Jan. 30th @ Niles North HS
Wanted to highlight a nearby local conference, NICE MiniCon. It is one of the best local PD opportunities around & only $5. This conference might be a nice opportunity to apply for preapproval for Skyward PD credit.
