Media Update
- Student Pictures -
Take pictures of anything you are doing in your classroom that you think would be nice to showcase on our Facebook page, Website, or in the Yearbook and send those to Carissa Davenport! Or let me know and I will gladly stop by your room to take a few pictures. I will also be walking around from time to time to snap a few pics.
Either share in Drive or email me!
Frias
Students tried to see who could melt their ice the fastest.
Whelihan
3rd graders played Kahoot in Math.
Rodriguez
Students worked in teams to recreate a design/shape.
- DEVICES -
Student Nexus Tablets (K-2)
Play.google.com/edu is no longer working with the tablets. This means you will not be able to add new apps to the tablets. Technology is working on this problem to try and find a solution.
You can still use the old apps that you installed and can add websites to your home screen.
Spot Checks
Please begin conducting spot checks on the chromebooks in your room and tower. Take just 5 minutes to see all student's screens and devices to ensure there are no breaks or cracks. If you see anything put in a Helpdesk Ticket.
I will also come by randomly to spot check. This is just to make sure we are on top of any breaks or issues so they can be fixed in a timely manner.
Teacher Tablets & Laptops
Just a reminder that Laptops will need to be re-imaged. Technology has said that they will give you the option to have technology back up your files and reload them to your computer. However, to be safe it would be a good idea to back up important files in your Google Drive.
Teacher tablets will also be re-imaged. The new image will help with connecting to the Wifi and the WiDi in your rooms.
Let me know if you need any help.

Digital Citizenship Lessons
They are still coming. When these are available I will let you know and invite you back to our Canvas course.
Filtering
If you are having an issue with a website being blocked that you need to use or have the students use, put in a HelpDesk ticket. There is an issue with our filter and some websites that were not blocked before are being blocked now. A helpdesk ticket lets Technology know that access is needed.
- Makerspaces in the Library -

5th graders began making objects to hopefully print using our 3D printer.
