Learn More about the 1:1 Implementation
If you are looking to learn more about the 1 for All (1:1) initiative, you can do that by visiting the FISD Forward course.
Returning teachers- this is the same course where you took the Classroom Management training in April. Now that piece is only one of three "courses" you can take. There are now two additional pieces you can earn credit for, so be sure to revisit it! The graphic has changed to look like the one above. You are still enrolled, so you should be able to find the course by clicking on the Courses button on the blue navigation bar in Canvas. You may have to click on All Courses to see it in your complete list.
Everyone- here is what you will learn about in the three courses
Course 1
- 1:1 Program Overview
- The Teacher Chromebook
- SAMR Model
- Blended Learning
Course 2
- Productivity
- Quick Wins
Course 3
- Classroom Management (Returning teachers cannot earn credit for this if they already did the course in April)

Need to learn Canvas?
Frisco Staff,
If you are interested in learning more about Canvas over the summer, I wanted to point you to some resources that you can access.
If you are new to Canvas and are interested in taking a Frisco ISD created self-paced course, you can use this link (https://fisd.instructure.com/enroll/JA44D9) to self-register for Canvas Level One. We also have a self-paced course which includes some more advanced features called Next Level Canvas which you can self-register for using this link (https://fisd.instructure.com/enroll/9RF97J)
Instructure, the parent company of Canvas, also has a Training Services Portal with self-paced courses, online live trainings and short videos. To access the Training Services Portal, click on the Help Icon on the Global Navigation Bar from anywhere in Canvas and select Training Services Portal. The first thing you’ll see if a tutorial to help guide you through their site.
Finally, if you just need some troubleshooting assistance over the summer, use this Zoom link to access support on Mondays and Wednesdays from 11:00 AM to Noon from now through July 15th.
(login to Canvas to get to the meeting link and password. I will not post that in a public forum)
