The EdTech Connection
Making the connection between ed and tech: 11 Mar 2019
Moving towards Q4
This is really just for my Middle School friends, so my HS peeps can skip to the next article. :)
With the end of the 3rd 9 Weeks coming soon, I want all of my quarter-based MS teachers to know the timeline for adding and removing students in itslearning.
Thursday, March 14: Quarter 4 students will be added to classes in itslearning
Monday, March 25: Quarter 3 students will be removed from classes in itslearning
Hopefully, this process is all smoothed out by now and we won't experience any kinks, but I'll keep an eye out. Let me know if you have any questions!
Growing with Twitter
If you're interested in connecting with educators across Georgia with an eye towards great technology uses in the classroom, join the chat that I host on Mondays at 9pm, #TECHtalkGA. Each week, we talk about ways that technology can be used to inspire greatness in education in just 30 minutes.
If the idea of Twitter for professional growth is still somewhat new and confusing to you, check out Matt Miller's latest blog post, "A beginner's guide to Twitter for educators."
SchoolCity Online Details
Until this update, students could log on to see their percentage score, no details, or ALL details. However, since we can customize what is shown on printed Feedback Cards, we have been asking for that same ability with online displays. Well, now you can!
As a teacher, when you set up Advanced Online settings on a test, you will notice that the option to "Display item details in Student Portal" now allows you to choose which things you want to display. By default, they are all checked, so you only need to uncheck the ones you don't want students to see.
Even if you aren't giving the test online, you will need to select Online as a form of administration so that you can get to these options.
