Tech Talk
Info from your vanguards
Hello!
As you know, Amanda, Kristine, and Stephen are your Vanguards for this school year at Ramtown. We will be sending out these newsletters to peak your interest in tools that we believe will help integrate technology. If you have any questions, please reach out to any of us. Have a great holiday!
An efficient way to share!
In December and January, Stephen will be looking to show teachers the "Teacher File Cabinet". This will help teachers become familiar with the Google Drive. The file cabinet will be a system of folders that allow teachers to easily collaborate by sharing files. No more waiting for air drop or searching for emails! Ask Steve for more information. Video for more information.
a BETTER way to send files to students
Steve has set up the "Student File Cabinet". This is a system of folders where the teacher uploads to the file cabinet any document they want the students to have. Instead of airdropping, students access the file cabinet and download the document within seconds. Delivering content to students this way will SAVE 5 minutes of time in class using this method. Would you like to see an example? Ask Steve to come into your classroom. Video for more information. Video for more information.
Pinterest for Education
Many people love Pinterest! This social media tool is great to find awesome recipes and stylish clothes to keep your fashion on point. However, Pinterest is great for education! Need an anchor chart? Search for it! Need websites on Native American tribes? Search on Pinterest! When looking for a web tool, I will go to Pinterest before searching on Google. For more information, let us know!
