Cardinal Team Tech (DCMS, 4.26.16)

1. Take Attendance

Mark your attendance on the DCMS Tech Training Attendance spreadsheet

2. Automatically Backing Up Photos into Google Drive

Our photos and projects on our iPad camera rolls are important to us and to our students; yet, they take up most of our storage space. Deleting these items off of our camera rolls frees up space, but we risk getting rid of something we need later. What to do?

Google Drive addresses this issue now by automatically backing up our camera roll projects into our Google accounts. Very handy!

3. Other Stuff

In addition to Google Photos, teams are looking at a few other items, as well: dealing with student videos, dealing with student absences, Quizlet Live, Zoom or Skype in the Classroom, and the DCMS Staff DubSmash!

 In addition to team agendas, we'll also be looking at the summer professional development offerings: USD 443 Summer PD and #EdCampSWKS.

4. Our Challenge

As we begin to wind down this school year, we are challenged to use technology as a tool to help us be more efficient and effective in our classrooms. We can help students focus on review or new content by increasing their engagement via quiz tools; we can assess students' understanding of content with video and assessment tools, and we can automatize procedures and activities to free our time to facilitate more. 

5. Feedback

I'd love to hear your feedback. Click this link and let me know what you think!
