It's October Already??

Happy October

Here's to hoping the dust has settled by now and your year is going well! 

Below is a short(?) laundry list of seven items I'm eager to share with you. All are important (especially #1) and timely for the month of October.

1. eduTech Survey
2015-16 eduTech survey
It's time to get some feedback about where you are in terms of instructional technology. This is a great way for me to gather information and figure out best ways to help address teacher needs. Either click on the link above OR complete the embedded form below no later than
Wednesday, October 14.

2. BrainPOP

3. Chromebook users
For students who are using Chromebooks this year, below is a clever video to show your class. It mirrors the expectations for how we move a Mac laptop.

4. Common Technology Experiences
Here's the link to the OUSD Common Technology Experiences, K-8. Remember working on this last spring? It's really "a thing" now and we'll be referring to it often. You have had access to just your grade level but this document will show the scope & sequence for all grades in the district.

5. Digital Citizenship
Digital Citizenship Week is October 18-24. How are your grade level lessons going?? Next week might be a great week to get started!

6. Connected Educator Month
October is Connected Educator Month. This link will direct you to list of resources to help you start getting connected!

7. First. Time. Ever.
How fun does this sound? On Friday, October 30, join the fun with songs, stories, movement, laughter and learning during the first annual Largest Online Gathering of K-5 Classrooms.
