A Busy Weekend!

For some of our teachers, this weekend was a busy one.

Mr. Boettcher as The Phantom of the Opera

Mrs. Sia at EdCamp providing training on Quizlet

Mr. Boettcher, US History and Theater teacher, starred and was vocal director for "The Best of Broadway" at Sovereign Grace Church in Marlton, NJ Saturday night.  He and his co-performers received a well deserved standing ovation at the end of the show!

Mrs. Sia, who is piloting our Senior Seminar course, attended EdCamp at Stockton University to learn more about educational technology and not once, but twice ended up showing the educational technology tricks up her sleeve to an audience of teachers, principals and superintendents from around the state!

Congratulations to both!

School Directives and Expectations

Hi My Fellow Stellar Social Studies Teachers!

With so many changes this year, I know it's hard to keep on top of it.  So I created a Google Drive where I will put all the information administration gives us in meetings and emails so it's all in one place!

Here is a link to the folder, it will evolve as the year progresses, so check it first if you have any procedural questions.

Google Drive

Also, here is OpMax make it a bookmark for easy access.

If you need Mindshift the email is support@mindshift.com.

Please keep in mind there are many teachers and a small amount of people handling our OpMax and MindShift concerns so please be patient and expect delays in resolution.

Educational Technology

Technology 

So I made this video last year when I realized there wasn't time for me to do a PD on it.  I shared on Twitter and Uploaded it to Simple K12 but I wanted to also upload here so you have easy access to it.

It's the websites and bits of technology I just love using!

How to tutorials

How do I....

• Paste a Word Doc into OnCourse?
• Find the Districts new website and access Curriculum?
• Find the resources you added on Google Drive?
• Use LiveSchool?
• Change what homework/tests/ etc are worth in Genesis?

I answer these questions in these videos!
