Chromebook Help Page
We are working on a section of the LMC site that will have technology help for students. In this section we will have troubleshooting steps for common student teh problems and information about policies related to the devices, and possibly more. The first troubleshooting page is up. It explains how to deal with an issue we have been having with students not being able to login. If you have suggestions for issues you think we should include, just let Eric or Carrie know.
Boclips for Teachers (still in Beta)
A new educational video service just came out. Boclips for Teachers claims to have a few million educational, ad-free videos from some familiar vetted publishers (e.g. PBS, Ted,-ED, Crash Course). You have to create an account, but it is free. It is also still in beta, so if you sign up, they may ask you to fill out some short survey. .Did I mention that it’s free? The Free Technology for Teachers website has a write up about the service.
We are 204: Wishtree by Katherine Applegate
Red is an oak tree who is many rings old. Red is the neighborhood "wishtree"―people write their wishes on piece s of cloth and tie them to Red's branches. Along with a crow named Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Red's hollows, this wishtree watches over the neighborhood. You might say Red has seen it all. Until a new family moves in. Not everyone is welcoming, and Red's experience as a wishtree is more important than ever.
Bonus Item: We now have a blog that will have the archives of this newsletter and, possibly…eventually….some other content. Please check it out.
