eLearning classes are starting next week. There are six classes available through PD Express that cost exactly zero dollars. Completing the course gets you 32 inservice hours. You still have time to sign up. Check out the topics:
- Chromebooks in the Classroom - I'm taking this one. Ryan "The Master of Extensions" Pingrey is facilitating it. Should be good.
- Innovative Teacher Leaders in the Digital Age - I'm facilitating this one so that should be enough motivation for you to take it.
- Empowering Learners with PBL (Project Based Learning)
- Effective K12 Online Instruction
- Digital Citizenship - currently full
- Digital Age Learning with iPads
Schoology Updates:
The Schoology app can now be used in split view on the iPad. Split view is a great tool for utilizing different apps at the same time. Not sure what split view is? Check out this video:
Students are now able to take managed assessments from the iPad. Chances are you haven't used a managed assessment yet. The purpose of a managed assessment is to gather data across multiple classrooms. Curriculum coordinators, for example, might push out a managed assessment to all 7th grade math classes. We have the ability to allow teacher teams to use these as well. Let me know if you are interested and I can help you get started.
That's it for now. Look for the regular Mattifest next Friday.
