Post #20 - Medfield Digital Learning Day, Splash Math Letter, Software Request Form





Winter has finally shown up! I love long walks in the snow after being cooped up inside all day.


Thank you all for your continued support and integration of technology in your classrooms.


If you have any questions, please let me know. Enjoy your weekend.


Medfield's Digital Learning Day - Medfield Public Schools offers a full day teacher PD day each year. This year their Digital Learning Day is Wednesday, March 8th at Medfield HS. The workshops will focus on collaborative learning, well-being, whole child and communication as well as Makerspace/STEAM and more.


Here is a link to their workshop offerings. This is a great opportunity to connect and learn with colleagues from the area. I would love to take a group of teachers with me. If you are interested in attending, please let me know by Monday, February 13th.


Splash Math Letter - Several teachers asked for a more formal letter to send to families with regard to Splash Math. Here is a link to a Splash Math family letter which Becky and I created. There are places in the letter where you can personalize it to fit your classroom needs. If you'd like to do that you will need to make a copy of the letter as you only have "view" access. We hope you find this letter helpful.


Software Requests - As we all get into the routine of using the software request form, please keep in mind at the older grades that students should only be using their Wayland student google account to sign-in to Google Apps for Students and Google Classroom. If a tool has the ability for students to sign-up or login by using their google apps account, we need to make sure that website has been approved. For example, under google drive their is a feature to add "more" apps. If a classroom teachers wants to use an additional app like WeVideo then you need to fill out the software request form. All of the additionally apps available in Google Apps For Education are not automatically approved for student use.
