ICE 2017
Last Thursday, I attended the ICE Conference in St. Charles. I left each session feeling inspired and eager to bring back information, ideas, and tools to our staff. If you're interested in browsing through the resources and presentations that were shared at ICE, please click here.
AES Deadline This Friday
Our next AES deadline is this Friday, March 10th. This is the last request deadline for the 2016-17 school year. Please be sure to turn in your FINAL application after meeting with your ITC about your trial of the app/extension/software.
Here is the link to the App/Extension/Software (AES) Process.
For more information, access the AES Request page on the D64 Staff Portal.
Google Keep and G Suite
Google Keep is now integrated with G Suite (formerly Google Apps for Education). Google Keep allows users to jot down notes and reminders, create checklists, and capture thoughts. With this update, you'll be able to search notes and add content to Keep right from Google Docs. You can also drag Keep notes into any doc. Click here for more information.
Celebrate Dr. Seuss
Dr. Seuss' birthday was last Thursday, March 2, and it's not too late to celebrate! Check out this "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" activity on Google Slides. Sort fish into Venn diagrams based on their characteristics. This is great drag and drop practice for PARCC and MAP!
