1/11-1/15 Blog Post

Hope everyone had a great week.  One day of CUE Rockstar Admin in the books and I feel like I have already learned a crazy amount.  Looking forward to two more days of learning.  Not expecting anyone to look at this but here is a link to all the slides and companion guide from the sessions down here:  Rock Star Admin Slides and Companion Guides The sessions I went to yesterday were Digital Writing for Digital Kids, Present Like a Rock Star, and 3 Awesome Book Study Protocols.

Computer Log in Screen
I sent this earlier in the week but will send again.  There is a new log in screen for the computers (non-Chromebooks).  To get to the generic Google Kids log in type googlekids1 and password student.  This is what we are still using in the computer lab during tech docent time.  If students want to log into their account student logins will be their unique Student ID for username, and their DOB as password (i.e. MM/DD/YY).  Our kindergarten students passwords will remain 'K', and our first grade students passwords will remain '1'.

Very cool 3rd grade Science Docent lesson this week
