Google Boot Camp
This fine group spent three full days learning about everything Google has to offer for education. They now have the option to become authorized Google trainers by taking some intense tests. They are looking forward to helping you become a Google Ninja!
New Math TEKS
The new math TEKS have the whole state in a panic. However, in Ferris ISD, math guru Sabrina McCullough from Region 10, has met with our math teams to make sure we have a clear understanding of how to help students master the new math TEKS. Even if you do not teach math, ask your math teachers how you can help students by creating real life applications for their new math TEKS. Did you know that students are now learning financial literacy? Be sure to encourage our math teachers as they face this new challenge.
Technology Application TEKS
We all know that we must teach Technology Application TEKS along with our curriculum in all grade levels but did you know that you can find them in TRS just like you do your curriculum TEKS?
Bulb Life
Remind your neighbor to turn off the projector to save the life of the bulb. Let's be a blue screen free environment...
Win a JEANS PASS!
In our last issue, we offered a free jeans pass for teachers who would watch another teacher and send us a short "snippet" of what they saw. Congrats to those of you who were able to score a jeans pass. Some people even got two. Way to work that denim!
If you still want to win a jeans pass, just ask a fellow teacher if you can watch them teach and then email Nies, let her know what you saw that was great, and she will send both of you a jeans pass.
