Tech Tips with Tibbs
November 2015 Newsletter
Technology Reminders/Updates...
- Social Studies questions added to MICA-let me or the testing coordinator know if you are unable to login
- Please remember to turn work orders in the the work order emails: EAG goes to eagwo@rcschools.net and HHS goes to hhswo@rcschools.net
- If you are looking to try a technology tool in your class and would like for me to come and demo it with your students please book me using the link on my webpage. Tools that could be useful and easy to use are:
*Kahoot, Quizizz, or Quizalize
*Nearpod
*Padlet
- Projections for currently enrolled students are in TVAAS. Students who we did not previously have scores for should now be in TVAAS. I am working on getting these fixed in Inspire Data.
Teacher Spotlight
Middle School ELA is Going Paperless...
Ms. Moore's class is using Class OneNote to type notes, complete assignments, and write all online with NO Paper and the best part is she can grade it directly in OneNote without taking any papers home to grade. Mrs. Trail and Mrs. Travis at EAG and Mrs. Welker at HHS are also using this with their students. Ask them about it.
5th Grade MICA Time
Mrs. Leather's class is using MICA as a whole class to promote not only mastery of content but also familiarity with taking assessments on the computer. Her class will definitely be TNReady.
Click Here to see the video of how she used it with her class.
3rd Grade OSMO Fun!
Grades K-5 this year are getting an Osmo to go with their iPads. These are a great addition that makes the iPad center even more interactive. Mrs. Feren's class loves using the Omso to build vocabulary.

What Do Your Students Want...
After surveying most of the middle school and high school students, there was one unanimous request...MORE KAHOOT!!!! Kahoot is a game based system using student devices to review or assess their knowledge. You can create your own Kahoots or search the thousands made by other people.
You might want to try Kahoot, Quizizz, or Quizalize to get your students involved in your lessons. Book me for a demonstration with your students.
