Lots to share this week... (Tech Tips for April 5-9)

Hello, Blog Followers.
This one is a bit more jam packed than normal, but hopefully you'll get through to the end of it.

Starting this week, Apple will be offering "A Day in the Life of iPad" sessions on Wednesdays. I will be participating in one of the sessions so that I can up my game before students have their iPads this fall. Please consider joining one of the sessions!

What you'll learn
  • Experience new iPad OS file management tools, advanced multitasking features, built-in screen recording, and augmented reality.
  • See how iPad OS supports and enhances Google workflows.
  • Find out how educators can get the most from Apple technology through free resources and services that support on-going professional learning.
Registration

Sessions will be held at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each day. Please click the link to register for the day and time that works best for you.

Now, on to my tips for the week...



The last piece of today's email is that I won't be available on April 9th & 12th and then will be working remotely next week. So I won't be doing any in person appointments next week, but I will be responding to your emails and meeting with folks via Google Meet.

By the way, happy birthday to my "work bestie", Laurie Delaney (one of the K-5 tech coaches)! I could not have survived doing another round of grad school (most of it during the pandemic) without you.

Sincerely, 
Susie Simmons

I've been working with a teacher lately who has struggled with her students completing a summative paper in her class. This trimester, we're working together to find a way to increase buy in and hopefully have a higher percentage of students complete the project. While investigating options for her, the first thing that came to mind was using a choice board or learning menu to enable her students to select the method that would work best for them rather than prescribing a multimedia project. There are a wide range of ways that you can put choice boards in to action. Tic-Tac-Toe, Menus, Choice Board... there are lots of different words to use to search for them. But the premise for all of them is the same. Give your students a selection of options to chose from and let them go with it. Beyond hopefully boosting engagement, the teacher gets the added benefit of not have a ga...
