Post #9: Code.org, Kahoot, Subscription Renewals, & Tech Committee,



Just wanted to let you know that Joe no longer has a "set" tech schedule at the school. We want him to have more flexibility so he can be available to flow from school to school as needed.  With that said, please do not leave items on his desk with notes as who knows when he would see it. Please fill out a tech request or connect with me. Thanks.


Code.org: Thank you to everyone for your assistance in the collection and reminding students about permission slips. Much appreciated. I have almost all of them! Phew! All classes will start coding next week using a variety of resources and continue for the month of December.

Kahoot: Kahoot is a fun online tool used to check students learning. However, they declined to sign our Student Data Privacy Agreement (SDP). If you wish to use Kahoot, please see me for a parent permission slip.


We have found that Quizalize is a very similar tool to Kahoot and they HAVE SIGNED our SDP agreement so no parent permission needed. You may want to give this tool a try. It appears to work with Google Classroom as well.

Subscription Renewals: Thank you for your feedback about our subscription services. We have renewed Starfall and Tumblebooks. I am in the process of renewing BrainPop and BrainPop Jr. 

Tech Committee: The December Tech Committee meeting is Wednesday, December 12th from 2:30 - 3:30 in the computer lab. All are welcome to join our discussion.
