COMPUTER BACKUP CHECKLIST

As the end of year approaches, you may find the need to backup your files and folders on your teacher computer. We have created a checklist of backup recommendations for you to review. On the checklist, directions on how to complete each backup process are linked within the document.

SLIDES CARNIVAL

Are you and your students tired of the same boring Google Presentation Templates? If so, you should definitely check out 'Slides Carnival' (www.slidescarnival.com). You can choose from several different new templates for your presentation!

When you find a template that you would like to use, open up the template, then go to 'File' and 'Make a copy'. (When asked to rename the copied presentation, I would recommend naming the presentation in which you are going to be creating.)

Slides Carnival is always updating and adding new templates, so check back often!
