You don't know what you don't know...
Welcome and Thanks for Clicking!
The purpose of this monthly newsletter is to provide you with quick information, tips, and technology hacks for the classroom.
It's the MOST Wonderful Time of the Year!
School's almost out! That means it's time for end of the year technology procedures! Click on the Piktochart link below to get started.
This is mandatory for ALL teachers and I deeply appreciate you getting it done! :-)

New Tech Tool
Have you heard of Boom Cards? They are digital, self-grading exercises that are gamified for students and provide data for teachers. Think task cards, but MUCH cooler! Check out the video & subscription plans below.

Professional Development News
I will not be offering any PDs for the rest of the school year. The deadline for all PD hours is May 10th at 3:00 PM.
However, Rutherford County Instructional Dept. is hosting RuCoShift 2.0 this summer! You can choose your days, sessions, and technology level. All PD hours will count towards the 2019-2020 school year.
Bye, Bye SchoolStation!
Performance Matters
RuCo Schools are changing from SchoolStation to schedule & manage Professional Development sessions, to a program called Performance Matters. I will be trained on this program May 7th. This new program will go live on May 11th.
Keep a lookout for an email letting you know when your school will be trained!
