Technology Tidbits
PowerPoint has two great new features!
Designer with a New Twist! - Designer in PowerPoint now works with your company or organizations' branded templates to help you create presentations that follow your company’s branding and visual identity.
Presenter Coach - Presenting in front of a live audience can be nerve-wracking. Presenter Coach in PowerPoint for the web allows you to practice your presentations and gives you intelligent on-screen tips to improve your public speaking skills.
ABSENCE REMINDER
Media Center Update
Here is a refresher for using SORA (the kid friendly version of Overdrive.) www.smore.com/es2cr
There are great ebooks, read-alongs and audio books for you to share with your students at any time. As a teacher you have access to books at any level (including Young Adult and Professional teacher books.) SORA is available as a free app, and you can link it to your own public library account ( or use Libby).
I am hoping to put this information on the Kelley, Lincoln and Perkins library webpages.
Happy Summer Reading.
