We have updated the forms to check out laptop carts.  There are two binders in the work room, one for cart E and one for cart F.  Please let us know if you need assistance checking carts out/in. 

Story time and/or makerspace may not be available if you do not sign up 24 hours in advance.  You can sign up for check out anytime, but I need time to prepare for storytime and makerspace.  Thanks!

• When signing up to visit the media center, be sure to highlight if you want to stay for story time and/or makerspace.  If not, your class will not be able to participate. 

• Google Tip of the Week: Google Docs will take dictation as long as you have a microphone connected to your computer and you’re using the Chrome browser. Go to the Tools menu and select “Voice typing” to get started. Your browser may ask permission to use your mic.  What a great tool for your students who struggle with writing! 

• Please email me videos of your students engaged in their lessons.  Now, that I am using my phone for the news, it's much easier for me to upload the footage 🎥.

Google Tip of the Week:  Google Slides- Basically a power-point presentation. However, if you like fancy backgrounds and/or templates you can start in power-point and then upload it. If you want an animated pic, type the word animated or clipart after whatever it is that you're searching for. Students can work together on one document at the same time .  You can access google slides from your waffle.
