Washington Tech Tidbits

The last AES request deadline for the 17-18 school year is this Friday, April 27. The next deadline will be in the fall.

Please be sure to turn in your FINAL application after meeting with me about your trial of the app/extension/software. Here is the link to the App/Extension/Software (AES) Process. For more information, access the App/Extension/Software Request page on the D64 Staff Portal.

We're going to continue our tradition of celebrating student learning and tech integration on Monday, May 21st prior to the Board of Education meeting at Emerson. This board meeting is one of many celebrations--ELF grants, Judith Snow awards, teacher tenure ceremony, and much more. Last year we had some great Washington examples of 2nd grade Genius Hour projects and 5th grade Screencastify videos about Author’s Claim and Evidence in Informational Text.

Think back through your school year... what can you share to show great tech integration from your classroom?

Please let me know if you're interested in participating by this Friday, April 27th... I will be there and would be happy to hang out with students, but ideally, you would come to hang out, meet and greet visitors (parents, teachers, board members, administrators), and show the great work that's happening here at Washington!
