Jackie Goodyear, high school teacher of FCS, utilized Donors Choose to obtain funding for $1700 worth of iPad equipment for her preschool.  She just received the good news that she will receive her items requested on her donation.  I am sharing the link to Donors Choose with all of you again.  If there is something you need for your classroom, this is a great place to go to try to get funding for it.

Moving "G" Drive files to Google Drive

I have created a series of screencasts walking you through moving your files from your "G" Drive to your Google Drive. If you need assistance with any of these steps, please do no hesitate to contact me at x 1007.

Step 1: This brief tutorial shows you two things you need to do in advance of moving your files.  Click Here.

Files and folders can be moved to Google Drive.  I am going to show you two ways to move your information.

Step 2: I am providing this step for those whose "G" drives are not well organized.  This is your chance to really clean up your files and get things organized in your Google Drive and keep them organized as you upload them. Click Here for tutorial

Step 3: In this step you will see how easy and quick it will be to just move files from your "G" drive to your Google Drive installed on your hard drive on your computer. Click Here 

Step 4: How do I save my Microsoft Documents when my G Drive is no longer available? Click Here to learn how.

Google Docs - Updates - Click here for brief screencast of new features

​1. Google Docs now has an document outline option for those who want to create outlines for their lengthier documents. Document Outline  allows you to easily structure your documents. Outline is also a great tool to help you quickly navigate the different parts of your documents. Once activated, Document outline displaces a pane to the left of the page featuring all the headers contained in your document. Clicking on each of these headers will jump you straight to its corresponding section. You don’t even have to manually apply headers, Google Docs smartly detects the different sections of your documents and generates an outline accordingly which you can edit as you want.
Here is how to open a document outline in Google Docs:
Open a Google Docs document then click ‘tools’ and select ‘document outline’.

2. You can now convert Google Documents to an EPUB format.Google Docs released yesterday another new interesting feature that allows users to download their Google documents in EPUB format. And as you know, EPUB is a file format that you can download and read in different digital devices (smartphones, tablets, computers) and through various apps and e-readers. With this new feature, you will be able to create and share digital content that can be read on a ‘diverse range of screen sizes and devices’. To convert a Google document into EPUB, you simply click on ‘File’, then hover over ‘Download as’ and choose ‘EPUB publication’ as shown in the image below.
You click on file, go to download, then select EPUB from the list.
3. Voice commands in Google now allows users to do talk to text. This is basically a voice enabled formatting functionality that allows Docs users to easily edit and format their documents using voice commands. This new feature comes to complete the Voice Typing functionality that was added to Google Docs a few months ago. Users of Google Docs are now able to not only compose documents and write down notes without touching their keyboards but are also able to format their documents using speech commands such as “copy,” “insert table,” and “highlight.” You can check the full list of commands from this page. This feature is only available in Chrome browsers.

Using Music to Teach Math - Elementary

Mr. R's Songs for Teaching is a Youtube resource I recently cam across.  I am sharing one example of the many songs that Mr. R has created to teach math to elementary students.  The use of music is a fun way to help students remember.  Mr. R's songs are fun and worth taking a look at, so here is a link to one on numerator song-fraction song.  If you try Mr R's songs, let me know what you think about them and whether your students enjoy them.
