What's New This Week?
Check out the new online presentation created by Technology Integrators, Lori Alighieri, Teresa Biene-Aime, Steve Harte, Sandra Sammarco, and Dianne Pappafotopoulos by clicking on the link above or the image to the right. The intent is to provide a quick access to information on apps that you may be using in your remote teaching. Just click on a topic to view a quick tutorial.
New feature! Now you can include a link in your Google Classroom assignment to have students automatically save their videos to your Google Drive after they record them.
ZOOM 5.0 UPDATE
This latest mandatory update will occur on May 30th to enhance security features. If you don't update on your own, you will be asked to do so on that date. Click on the link to perform this task.
How to Find these Newsletters? To keep track of weekly newsletters, I will be adding them to the DS website with the date and a description of topics covered for easy access. Newsletters can be found behind the BULLETIN BOARD tab on the home page menu.
