iPad Time and Updating

iPad Time 
Have your students noticed that their iPad times are 2 hours off? Don't worry, there is a way they can fix it. Follow these steps and put the iPad back into the correct timezone.

  1. Go to settings
  2. Select Privicy
  3. Tap "Locations Services"
  4. Turn the switch "on"
    1. The time may adjust at this point, if not continue to follow the steps
  5. Go back to "General"
  6. Select "Time and Date"
  7. Turn off "Automatic"
  8. Manually put into the Chicago Time zone
  9. Turn Automatic switch back on. 
  10. Mission Complete!
As always, if you need help with this, never hesitate to ask your tech team. It is also fun to ask students why they think the iPad is set to that time zone, and why does it choose Cupertino as the default city? If you did not know the reason is because Apple Headquarters is in Cupertino, CA. 

Teacher iPad Replacement
If you have not had the chance to yet, please come and trade up to you new iPad. It only takes a few minutes and we can help you backup any information that you need. There are some updates about to be released and you will want the latest technology to support your teaching, and try some new things that could revolutionize your classroom and/or life!

Updating Your Computer
While it is always a good idea to keep you devices up to date, sometimes the applications you use on your device is not. As Apple gets ready to release some updates for our devices, be mindful that somethings may not be exactly the same. On you School Issued Device, please hold off on updating to the latest iOS (iOS 12) out now and Mac OS (Mojave) to be released on 9/24. Let me test and see if there are issues before you try. I will give it about a week, and I will advise to update.

Like I mentioned before, there are many cool features that could have an impact on what you do so check it out! I always love sitting and discussing how some of the latest features can be used in your classroom with students! 


If you have questions, let me know!

NearPod

Nearpod is a fantastic tool for eLearning and classrooms. Nearpod allows teachers to create interactive presentations that appear on the student devices synchronously and asynchronously. It also allows the teachers to pre-build lessons for substitutes to use with ease and guide students through a day when you are not in the classroom. You can even activate nearpods for homework or in class student paced lessons. You can embed 3D objects, go on VR Field Trips, and get real time feedback in Live Lessons. And that is just scratching the surface of what it can help you with. There is a lot that Nearpod can offer you and your classroom. You can use your google account to login, or if you have more questions, let me know! Here is a quick video on how they describe their features. I have also included this video recording of my Nearpod PD I lead for our iPLC Remote Learning.

Power Teacher Pro

As you may or will notice there has been some changes to your Power Teacher Gradebook. This change is a good change and a long time coming. PowerTeacher Pro is web-based and offers many upgrades compared to the old version. One example is a cleaner look and the gradebook and reports. I tried this upgrade out last year for my classes and loved it. There will be some training opportunities and feature overviews in coming institute days, and as report cards get closer I will also offer some learning experiences in house. If you have questions let me know. One question that may be at to top of your mind is if our report card changed with the upgrade? The answer is no, only the way it looks while inputting your information. Here are some resources the Beth Migalla created for us.

Printer Features

As we are all in the full swing of things, we are discovering the nuances of our new laptops. One that I have heard about is the printing. We are all greatly thankful that the copiers have been automatically added to our new machines, but many are finding troubles getting use to the printer features. Below are some pictures that will help you navigate and utilize the copiers to their full ability. Renaming the Printers - The Workroom name is eazy, but what is the difference between SKOffice 1 and SKOffice 2?  You can fix this. Office 2 is the color copier. In the details you will also notice that the MOdel has a "C" to start... C= Color. To rename, 2 finger click/ right click the name and a rename option will appear. Printer Features - In efforts to be mindful about our paper consumption the default print feature is to print 2-sided.  You can also have the copier hole punch and staple for you as well by using the "Printer Features" dropdown. There are man...
