Good afternoon everybody,
Thank you to everybody who participated in both my presentations on Friday as well as the myriad of other choices. It really was a great day and I'm excited to start so many conversations with people about that "next step".
There is a very brief, completely voluntary form that was attached to the menu of choices for the PD day. If you'd like to share your experience, take a couple minutes to fill out the form. Here is the link:
I know a lot of people would love to have a PD day like this next year and maybe you have a suggestion for the next time - please share - that's what this is all about!
Couple minor tips this week:
-Duplicate a tab: If you right click a tab, there is an option to duplicate it. This can be really helpful if you are filling out a form or entering grades in genesis and you want to quickly look something up.
-Screencastify extension - this is what I used to make my videos the last couple of weeks. I'll be out on a personal day tomorrow and will be sending my students a quick screencast that they can watch while in class. Also its a great option for students who might be too anxious for a traditional class presentation.
-PDFescape extension - I had to type in a pdf over the weekend and, while PDFs are great for printing and saving formatting, they're not great for modifying. The extension is not perfect, but I was able to type in the document and save it. Sorry to Mrs. O'Neill that I figured this one out about a month and half too late for your needs!
Have a great short week, and stay warm!
