Need PLP points?
A Seesaw course has just been added and is waiting on approval! The course is two points. Earn one point by completing the online course, and earn another point by implementing a lesson with your students and inviting me to help! Register in Frontline, and I will send you an email with the link to the online portion. The course must be finished by March 31st.
Another PLP opportunity is shown below.
Save the Date!
Dates have been set for the Digital Learning Summer Summit! There will be a session on June 21st and 22nd, and another session on August 15th and 16th. I will let you know when it is available in Frontline so you can sign up. You can sign up for a half-day at a time. So whether you prefer to learn new tools in June and play with them over the summer, or you want to learn in August so it is fresh for school, there is a session for you! Get your points out of the way early and learn from other teachers in your own district!
Have a question? Looking for resources? Want to see what other schools are doing? Join the new Google+ community called VBSchools Teach Together! This community was created to foster communication and collaboration between teachers in the division, K-12. Let me know if you need help signing up.
BrainPop Update
Since we have been having district-wide issues with BrainPop, our generic school login information was given to me at my ITS meeting. If you use this login, you cannot go through Clever. You must have the students start at brainpop.com and type in the login information that will be sent via email. Also, you cannot assign or have students turn in work using this login method, but they can at least get to the movies and activities.
Schedule
I'll be at Creeds on Mondays and Tuesdays, and North Landing on Thursdays and Fridays. I'll alternate Wednesdays. The link to view my calendar is at the bottom of this flyer.
