FEEDBACK NEEDED- What Chrome Extensions do your students need?
NEW AND EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
- We will have a NEW Chromebook solution coming WEDNESDAY called Classroom. This will allow you to see what students are doing on their screens, lock their screens, share your screen with your class and more.
- You can learn more about Classroom by taking a QUICK online class here. This is worth a new Blazer Button! I recommend EVERY TEACHER take this class.
- To access Classroom (starting Wednesday) you will visit https://classroom.relay.school in a browser and sign in with Google.
- This is all part of a new web filter called Relay launching Wednesday for our campus. If you have issues with a blocked web site, please put in a HelpDesk Ticket.
Last full week of DIgital Citizenship Month!
