Windows Shortcuts

Make your life easier by learning a few of these Windows shortcuts. Click the image above.

Google Chrome

Google Chrome has been pushed out to student devices. If a student is prompted to log in to Office apps, it is most likely because the default browser has been changed to Chrome. Students can save usernames and passwords in Chrome or the default browser can be changed back to Edge in Settings. Click the image ABOVE to see how to change the default browser on your device.

TAKE TEN!

Take a tech brain break! If you and your students are feeling a sluggish after sitting in front of your devices for hours, try taking a quick tech break for some renewed energy. GoNoodle offers great videos for quick physical activities and mindfulness practice. As an added bonus, it also integrates with Clever!

Using your new document camera

Many of you have received new document cameras to use in your classroom. You can use your camera with the Note app by clicking on the Tools icon, or you can use the Visualizer app that was designed to use with the IPEVO document camera. Learn how to use Visualizer in this video. Let us know if you need this app installed on your board or laptop.

Launch an App in Clever!!

You can open an app in Clever for all of your students at the same time using Clever's "Launch and App" feature! Just follow these step-by-step instructions HERE.

Flipbook

Create electronic flipbooks for your students using Flipbook! This website enables you to create electronic “books” from uploaded PDF files. Simply take photos of the documents you would like to convert, and combine them into a single PDF file. Then, upload the file onto Flipbook to generate a virtual document with the look of a real book!

Blooket

Ms. Hayley Alford at CSE uses Blooket for "good-natured competition" in her 3rd grade ELA classroom. Ms. Alford has seen her spelling and vocabulary test scores go up since using the app that allows students to compete as though playing a video game. If you are interested in using Blooket in your class, you can find out more HERE.
