I wanted to let you all know that the black google bar, normally seen in any google app is no longer there. Here is a really short video to help you out with this:)
This morning as I was creating a new Google Form, I noticed a few new options that I have never seen before. You now have the option to shuffle question order and collect only one response from each user as an overall option on the whole form rather than on individual questions in the past. This will help greatly for those who use forms for student assessment. Check out this update from Google: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/160166?hl=en
Class Dojo is a tool teachers can use to help improve and manage behaviors in their classrooms. Through the use of a computer, laptop, phone or tablet teachers and students can track positive and negative behaviors. Students receive timely and visual feedback to help keep them on track. Documentation is then kept in real time to access at any time. It can even generate an email to parents to save teachers time in communicating a child's daily behaviors. Ask me about Class Dojo or tell me how it is working for you.
So today is the magical day that I have chosen to begin this blog journey. I spent the day getting google-y at TCEA in Austin, in the first of a three day "Becoming a Google Apps For Education Certified Trainer." It was an information filled day, but lots of fun learning new google tips and tricks. I am very excited to begin this journey as an Instructional Technologist. I feel like today is my first official step in that direction. I have to say, it was a little weird to introduce myself as Courtney Stevens, District Instructional Technologist, not Courtney Stevens, Principal. But I know good things are ahead and I am super excited.
