Tech Tips

I will be placing you tech badges in your box as I am at your school. If you need a copy of the badge sheet to put them on, here is the link. Tech Badges Sheet

The students are able to view videos on EPIC. The videos are educational, but some teachers are finding that they are watching the videos instead of doing their independent reading. The videos can be disabled so that they do not appear on the student's accounts.

To disable:

Login to EPIC with your teacher account

Go to the dashboard

Click Account Settings

Click Educational Videos Enabled, it will change to Disabled

Create a teacher login from writereader.com to use this app with your students. Students from K-3 can create their own books and at the same time learn how to write and read.

WriteReader App

Teachers and students will access the book using the PowerSchool/Teacher Portal.

Directions for logging into the eText

Teachers will need to login and give assignments for the student to see the course.

I will be pulling lesson ideas from the Integrated Tech Check Up to share each week.

Students used Buncee to draw 2D shapes. Afterwards, they used Buncee to take pictures of 2D shapes in the classroom, sort, and identify. They uploaded their Buncee pages to Seesaw for teachers/parents to view and comment on.

Students used Book Creator to to create a Non-Fiction Text Feature book. Students had to choose a book and identify/take pictures of various features in the book of their choice. They had to tell how each feature helps them when reading Non-Fiction.

Students participated in a Breakout Box Activity {The Age of Reason) where they completed a series of tasks: document based questions, a terminology quiz, connecting key philosophers, etc. Students raced to successfully finish each task and get a lock code to open the box at the end of the lesson.
