Some days it feels like this. I appreciate everyone's patience and persistence with the use of technology. I know that it has not been easy. Thank you!
MacBook Accessibility Feature: I was reminded this past week about a MacBook accessibility feature of the zoom magnifier. This is a great tool to use while demonstrating lessons - perfect to use during both virtual and face to face lessons, as the magnifier is used to draw students' attention to a certain part of your screen. Here is a video demonstration.

ClassLink Update: First, thank you teachers (and families) for your patience and support. Eva spent most of Wednesday cleaning up data entry issues related to K-2 ClassLink login issues.
**We are also finding that many families are attempting to log in incorrectly. When you get to the ClassLink page you DO NOT enter any login information, you only click on "Sign in with Google".
Over the past couple of days, I reached out to families wherein I was copied on login issues and sent them the following two links. Between Eva's work and my email, students/families have been able to access ClassLink!
If you still have families needing assistance, these two pieces of information might do the trick.
Here is an excerpt of what I sent:
Thank you for your email and your patience. We fixed XXXX's account for ClassLink.Here are written directions to login to ClassLink from the WPS iPad. Here is a video version, if you prefer that method of learning.
For grades 3-5, students can access ClassLink right from the ClassLink icon on the Chromebook shelf (aka the dock). Here is a video for reference.
All grades, please see the 2020-21 Usernames and Passwords doc for details about apps that are ready for K-5 student use.
BrainPop/BrainPop Jr. For Teachers in ClassLink - you will be prompted to fill out your name and email address. Please do so the 1st time and follow the direction to activate the one time token. I am working with a teacher to review the process for setting up classrooms in BrainPop (if you wish) so that you can create assignments. More details to follow.
Seesaw for TAs and Specialists: I am working with a teacher today to see if we can iron out the process. Stay tuned for more information.
