Washington Tech Tidbits

Please note that, when uploading artifacts to My Learning Plan (the new digital evaluation platform), you should assign a component to each one. You can assign multiple components to each artifact, when applicable. You do not need to upload the artifact multiple times. The system will store artifacts for you and automatically place them under the components to which they've been assigned. If you have any questions about My Learning Plan, please don't hesitate to ask me.

As you may know, Google has released the new Google Sites and announced that the classic Sites would eventually be retired. In the coming months, Google plans to launch features in classic Sites that will help owners migrate to the new Sites.

This migration tool has yet to be released, but if you are interested in getting a headstart in creating a new Google Site, I will be "facilitating" a QIT EdCamp session this Wednesday afternoon.

EdTechTeam is hosting a FREE virtual summit on Saturday, October 14 from 10am-4pm. The schedule will focus on each of the 4Cs (communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking). Click here for more information and here to see the full schedule of events.

Explain Everything is a powerful tool that allows users to create, collaborate, communicate, and critically think. You can DRAW, ANNOTATE, ANIMATE, RECORD, SCREENCAST, COLLABORATE, PUBLISH, AND CREATE with Explain Everything. If you're interested in using Explain Everything with your students, sign up here. This tool is available on both iPads and Chromebooks.
