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.

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.

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.
