Post #8: New AV Equipment, Google Slides Interactive Tip, iPads, Tech Committee



New AV Equipment: 
Last Thursday evening, new Viewsonic equipment was installed in 6 classrooms. Thank you to Deede, Lorraine, Trang, Timber, Hannah, and Amy for being so patient! The decrease in the supply chain caused this project to be on hold for many many months! I appreciate your patience during the quick transition Friday morning! I know it made for a stressful start to the day but you all made it work!



Viewsonic PD: Mary Barber and Bethann Monahan created a self-paced ViewSonic Google Classroom course. If you need a refresher or are just learning how to use the Viewsonic panel, this is a great place to start!

Google Slides Interactive TIP!!

Folks this is an amazing update to Google Slides!! Many of you create Google Slides where you want the students to interact up at the board but you go into presentation mode and students cannot drag and drop objects!! Well with this latest update, Google has made Google slides easily interactive for students! 

If you want your students to interact with a google slides activity then check out how to make that happen quickly and easily! 


 Thank you Deede as we were just talking about this on Friday.



iPads: Please remind your students to be extra careful with their iPads. At the moment, we do not have any spare iPads. We have sent many iPads to Apple to be fixed. We are anxiously awaiting their return. 



Technology Committee - Next Meeting is Wednesday, January 12th @ 1:45 pm. If you have any questions, please join us. All are welcome! If you cannot attend, pass along your question to your grade level rep or directly to me.  😁
