CVSD Tech Tips Showcases and Tips and Tricks

Okay here we are in the 2019-2020 school year.  I have shared lots of information in this blog since 2015 and there continues to be more information to share every day.  I know that many of you have great tips, tricks and resources you use with your students and I would love to share those with all staff so that we can all continue to learn together.    Please feel free to share a resource, a tip or trick and it can be in the form of a short summary or a quick video that I will publish.  If you just send me the link to check it out I can explore it and write the summary or create the video to share.  Also, I am looking for showcases of teachers using the technology or having their students use the technology.  Feel free to send me a picture and a brief writeup to feature you and your students as we continue down this Road to Relevance.  This blog is published weekly all year long.

Tech Department Reminders  

Greg Weikert shared a tip below about the installation of iPads apps and commands. 

​This is just an informational FYI about Mosyle and iPad Apps.. For the iPad apps and Commands to install the ipad must be 
1.) ON a Home or School WiFi
2.) Unlocked at all times
​
A couple of students said to Greg that their ipads were at home connected but not getting apps. They did say the iPad was locked. So keep in mind it must be on and unlocked.

New Feature Google Priority 

In the last blog I shared a bit about the new priority option you may have seen in your Google Drive.  Emily Kress has created a screencast to explain it further.  I personally have used the feature and I really like how convenient it makes accessing those frequently used files.  Thanks for sharing Emily.
