TTTLS - How can we serve you?
For GoTahoma support Christel and I will try to help.
For Skyward or Homeroom/Evaluations support you can also contact me.
We will meet as a team throughout the year to make sure we are meeting your technology needs. If there is a need or concern please help us to support you by letting us know that need.
Remember that Christine Thurston and Kimberly Allison are our district technology coaches and they are happy to help. They are often available to help during the day when the TTTLs are less available.
Google Apps for Education Summit

Did you know that last week Google added Voice Typing to Google Docs? That means students who struggle with typing (or just don’t like to) can “talk it out.” So can you!
I’ve played around with it and works like a charm! You could set up a corner of the room where kids go if they want some space to record, or encourage them to bring their microphone/headphones that came with their smartphone. Or, of course, they can do it at home. I’m curious to see what would happen if all kids tried to successfully voice type at the same time in a classroom. Can they use a 6-inch voice and not interfere with each other? Let me know.
Need a demonstration? Watch this 25-second training.
