Post #24: Teacher Laptop Refresh, Remote Learning Tools, Student Devices, and Seesaw Tips

on




In case you missed these announcements at today's staff meeting:


 Teacher Laptop Refresh: Leisha has extended the lease on our current teacher MacBooks until the end of August. If you are slatted to get a new computer this summer, it will now happen at the end of the summer. She is planning to order the laptops on July 1st and use the summer to set them up. Then when we return to school (in whatever fashion that will look like), you will make an in-person computer swap! For your planning purposes, you will have your current computer for the summer. 

 Remote Learning Tools: In preparation for the fall, the Tech Department will be gathering your feedback regarding essential tools. Stay tuned for move info in the coming weeks. 

Student Devices: Leisha is working towards a K-2 1-to-1 iPad initiative for the fall. Now more than ever, we see access as an obstacle for many students and families during remote learning. 
Seesaw Tip: Now that you have created a variety of activities in Seesaw for your students, you may want to consider archiving older activities. This will make the stream less overwhelming and students will be able to focus on the current activities. When archiving activities, student responses WILL REMAIN in their student journals.

 See how to archive old activities.
