1. Labeling your Teacher iPad
If you have not already done so, please use a piece of tape or label to mark the back of your teacher iPad with your last name and room number. This will help us to find the owner in a quick and easy way if your iPad is left somewhere in the building!
2. PSD Key App Creation Reminders
A couple of notes to really maximize time saving through PSD Key:- Check the Professional Resources Folder - Many of the apps that we use professionally as teachers are already pre-loaded in the red Professional Resources folder on your PSD Key Dashboard. These apps will now appear in the teaching library with a "lock" so that we can all tell whats already in this folder. If you can find a moment, it is best to type in all your usernames into these apps so that you don't have to look them up later.
- To check or not to check - Teachers have started to add their own apps to replace bookmarks, which is really great! This can be done by choosing the "Add Your Own App" in the upper right hand corner of the App library screen. Then, PSD Key will ask you to name the app and put the url. You will also notice a small check box at the bottom.
- Please check this box if this website requires a sign in. Chris Brockman will create an app to save your password.
- Please do not check this box if it is a simple weblink bookmark.
3. Upcoming OTS Spotlights:
The below sessions are all being offered for district PLT. Talk to your building principal if you see benefit in holding a similar session for building PLT.
December 5- Mimio Basic Training-(one hour) This session will be the same session that was offered on November 5th. However, it is back by popular demand! In this session, we will go over the basics ins/outs of Mimio, the tools, and also a quick look at Mimioconnect.com.
December 10- Mimio Advanced- (one hour) In this session, teachers will have an opportunity to ask questions, but also will be given time to create presentations, play with the gallery tools, and/or "mimio-fy" a previous presentation!
