Mote Comes to Google Forms!
Mote is now integrated into Google Forms! Teachers can now record their voice right into the questions in Google Forms with Mote. This will create a clickable 'card' for the student. Students can also voice record their responses for questions that may require typing. Mote is an extension from the Chrome Web Store, access it by clicking here.
Speaking of Google Forms...
"The heart of education is the relationship between the student and the teacher. Everything else depends on how productive and successful that relationship is." ~Sir Ken Robinson
Continue the conversation from the last InstaStrategies session
A great conversation last week from the participants of InstaStratgies. We even had a special guest from the Design School of Education in Florida. They were posed 1 question, 'What's working for you?'. The responses have been stitched together and can be accessed in the video below. If you would like to continue the conversation, anyone can access the conversation by clicking here or click on the image at left. You will be required to sign in using Google. Looking forward to the collaboration. Feel free to comment, post or even record your own response.
EdCamp comes to InstaStrategies
This week we will be hosting an EdCamp during InstaStrategies. If you have never been to an EdCamp style event, hop on in and experience one!
To join the meeting this Wednesday, click HERE for the 12 o'clock session or HERE for the 1 o'clock session, or email me and I will send you the Zoom link directly. If you would like, you can register for each session below, and I will email you the link on Wednesday so that you don't have to search very far for links. See registration buttons below.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you are signed in with your district Zoom account or you will not be admitted from the waiting room. Sorry, I'd rather be safe than sorry!
Getting in Compliance
In an effort to get in compliance with New York State's Data Privacy and Security Policy (NYS Ed Law 2D), WCSD has to check and make sure that the sites, software apps, and tools that are utilized at school and with our students are compliant. If there are sites, software apps, and tools that you are using with your students, could you please take a second and fill out the form below to let us know what those sites, software apps, and tools are? Fill it out as a team, a department, or on your own.
Here is the link to the form: https://forms.gle/tmbzuGeP7dttjZ6S8 or you can access it by clicking on the form icon located to the right.
Here is a link to more information on Ed Law 2D (provided by MORIC and RIC ONE).
