Tech Tuesday Archive 9

I heard a rumor people needed Cliffnotes to get through the last email so I'm attempting to make things a bit more concise.

I'm out today, so I'll be available tomorrow after school for tech questions.  I've heard a lot about organizing your google drive and managing the huge amount of documents that are being shared with you.  I will try to offer you some advice.

Tips:

1.  Hour of code is coming next week - more info to follow.  Would love as many people to try this as possible!

2.  Thanks to Chuck Karns for this - thinking of going paperless? There are lots of apps available on your smartphone that will "scan" documents by using your camera and converting them to pdfs.  I started using "genius scan" from the apple apps store and it's very easy - and you can easily share directly to your google drive.  

3.  December Twitter Contest - Loads of you have joined Twitter and it's been awesome to see.  Many of you were right on the cusp, but never took that last step - in an effort to encourage continued growth and participation, I'm offering this contest for the month.  Keep tweeting or finally join and you're entered for a prize to be given out just before Winter break. For those not in the high school, we've been using the hashtag #CHSonegoodthing and it's been great to see all the positive moments happening in our school.  I encourage all the elementary teachers to use the tag #CPSonegoodthing and the Oaklyn teachers to use #OPSonegoodthing.

Details for the contest can be found at this online flyer I created using Smore, a really easy service you may want to try to make online flyers:

Questions? Feedback? I'd love to hear from you.

Happy Tuesday all, see you online,
