Schoology Profile Picture
If you have not included a profile picture in Schoology here is a short video to show you how. If your profile picture is turned sideways, it is due to the file type that you used (often from a phone). Please remove the sideways photo and upload a different photo.
TCCA
The Technology and Curriculum Conference of Aldine (TCCA) traditionally takes place in Aldine and is open to all educators from any school district, public and private. The conference will be virtual this year. This event will take place over an entire day (October 24, 2020). Although open to everyone, you will need to sign up at www.tccaconference.com We are planning for a keynote to open the conference, and there will be 20-30 sessions taking place each hour.
Invite all your educator friends to this wonderful, free event!
