Tech Tip - Educreations!
Have you heard of Educreations? It's a web-based program that turns your screen into an interactive whiteboard and allows you to record your voice and writing and share it with your students.
How can you use Educreations? Record a lesson, assign it for homework, and have students turn and talk to discuss it in class. Or, have students respond to questions about the lesson content. You can also be super awesome like Mrs. Tao and flip it! Have the students demonstrate mastery of content by creating their own lessons for the class! They say we only really know something when we can teach it to others, right?
Check out the short video below on how to use Educreations or ask Mrs. Tao if you can stop by her room and watch!

Student Logins
So, if you haven't noticed yet, sometimes students aren't able to log in to the computers. This can be for a variety of reasons but if the error message says something along the lines of, "Invalid Password," the student has been locked out and I can help resolve it. Just send me an email with the student's first and last name and ID#. It can take anywhere from 1-4 days for their passwords to be reset, so tell the student to keep trying and be patient.
