FREE Summer PD Opportunity!

As the school year winds down, let us take this opportunity to THANK YOU for reading our Tuesday Tech Tips emails.  We hope that they have been helpful to you.  You can review all of our tips by going to our blog, and if you have an idea for a future tip, please don't hesitate to submit it.

Our tip for today is a FREE summer professional development put on by NWOCA in conjunction with the Bryan City Schools.  Come join us for our #NWOCARoadShow17 as we stop in Bryan on August 9th.

We'll have a great mini-conference for you, with over 30 sessions to pick-your-own PD. We've got lots of opportunities to go more in-depth with the G Suite, but we also have non-Google topics such as:

  • VR in the Classroom
  • Coding for Elementary Students
  • Robotics
  • PowerTeacher Pro
  • CleverTouch Boards
  • Cool Tools for Teachers
  • and much more!
Be sure to check out the #NWOCARoadShow17 website for all the details and a link to register, and keep checking all summer as we add more sessions and topics.  Again, this event is 100% free, even if you're not a full member of NWOCA.  Please join us on August 9th!

HAPPY SUMMER!

Power up Google Classroom with Private Comments

One of the most powerful elements of Google Classroom is the private comments feature, which works with assignments only.  Comments become conversations with students, allowing for more back and forth discussion than can happen with verbal feedback. Every student can have a voice and communicate their ideas or struggles with a task. To use private comments, open an assignment in Classroom, and there you will find a space for private comments. Any comments left here will be seen only by you and the individual student. One of the challenges to using private comments is knowing who the comments belong to. Here’s a workaround from Alice Keeler : Students start all comments to you with your last name You start all comments to students with your initials This helps in filtering those comments in Gmail, or searching. It also lets you quickly see who responded last in the roster: You can also use links in private comments to give students more informat...

What the SHEETS?!?

When creating a new Google Sheet, by default, it will have one sheet tab at the bottom of the page. The program is designed so that you can have a maximum of 200 sheets. To add additional sheets, you can click on the plus sign in the sheets toolbar. One sheet will be added. To rename the sheet, click on the dropdown arrow next to the Sheet, and select RENAME. You may want to explore other sheet tab options available from the menu. There may be times when you want your Google Sheet to open to a specific tab. To accomplish this, copy the URL of the specific sheet tab. For example, if you want the Google Sheet to immediately open to the second sheet tab named Chart, copy the Chart sheet tab URL. You will notice that the information to the right of the / changes: Google Sheet URL: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hivDhrInFjmhl-AFB_frFOvpsyuY541hxn6ShQuo7I8/ edit?usp=sharing Chart Sheet Tab: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hivDhrInFjmhl-A...

I want to Shoot My Screen!

OK so now I have your attention! If we re-arrange the words a bit "I want to take a shot of my screen" aah yes screen shots but what are they good for? Many websites while allowing students to do drill and practice and take quizzes, they lack the ability to save or record scores or results. Have the students take a screenshot of their results and submit via google classroom as an attached image. Screenshots are a way of capturing a picture of your screen, be it your chromebook, a desktop computer or even your cell phone. The secret to unlocking this feature is to know the magic key combinations or button presses for your particular device. Windows - The old standby is Alt + PrnScn which copies the entire screen to the clipboard. You can then paste it into your favorite editor to save as an image file. Windows 7 and above - Included in your list of apps is one called the Snipping Tool . Add a shortcut to your toolbar and when invoked this app lets you take a scree...
