Tech Tuesday March 17

Happy Tuesday everyone! I have a couple of things I wanted to share with you before Parent/Teacher conferences.

Pinnacle Grade Reports

The above link will take you to a Google Slide Presentation that will walk you through the steps to send a grade report to parents. I have found this to be a very helpful way to let parents know how the students are doing and it is nice to have it sent out before conferences to keep parents informed of how their child is doing in your class.

Here is the quick survey from last week. Many of your filled it out and I wanted to give others a chance to take a look and share their thoughts. I created this anonymous survey so I could better help you with your tech needs. It would be a great help to me if you could quickly share some information. Thank you so much.

Thank you for all that you do to make GPPSS great for all students!

Tech Tuesday for March 10

Hello gang! I wanted to share a quick survey and a tech tip with you for today. The tech tip below is about using accents on a Google Doc. Sorry Latin, it doesn't have that for you, but I'm still looking.




Easy Accents Add-on

For the language teachers (Sorry Latin, it doesn't work for you.) Doing accents can be a pain in Google Docs. Well, here is an add-on to Google Docs that can make your life a bit easier.

Follow the link above and add the Add-On to your Google Docs account. You will then find it here,

We have French, Italian, Spanish, and much more. This is something you can share with your students to help them with their writing in class. If you need help with putting this on your Google Account, please let me know and we can meet and set it up. 

Poll Everywhere Tutorial and QR Codes

Here is a great blog post on how to use Poll Everywhere and a tutorial video on getting started. Great work from Greg Kulowiec.

QR Codes for Parent/Teacher Conferences

Here is a post from our district that explains the different ways that QR Codes can be used in the classroom for PT Conferences. It provides links to apps for your mobile device and some possible uses for you in the classroom. Take a look and see how these might be used for your upcoming conferences.
