The EdTech Connection
Making the connection between ed and tech: 13 Mar 2018
New semester courses added
High School ITSs and Teachers may start seeing a lot of new semester courses added as counselors receive transcripts for new students whose previous school awarded a semester of credit. As those students are moved into semester courses in IC, they will also generate new courses in itslearning, meaning that students lose access to the course content.
Luckily, this can be resolved pretty quickly by merging the semester course INTO the yearlong course. If you need assistance with this, contact me or your ITS.

Google Certified Educator: Level 1 Cohort
This course will follow Google’s training course, with the idea of the “cohort” to provide collaboration and peer motivation, as well as hands-on practice and clarification for the Level 1 Certification exam. We will meet 4 times to prep for the exam. Our 5th meeting will be a time for us all to be together to take the exam.
