Week of December 9, 2019 Quarter 2 Click this link if the images don’t show in your email: http://bit.ly/nyetwu120919 Find the audio version of this update here: http://bit.ly/nye4kidstech Folks, Thing #1: I’m running low on items to create tips around. If you have an idea, please send it to me. Pretty please! Thing #2: Please take a look at the “Things Rob Remembers Doing” section for information regarding the phone system at Floyd. This is a new responsibility to the technology department, and as we learn how to manage these systems as a team and keep documentation, this could create a huge financial savings for the district over the next several years. Thing #3: State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Jhone Ebert, will be in Pahrump this week on her #listeningtour. I’m hoping to I get a chance to meet her, but I’m not sure it’ll be possible with my schedule. She’ll be visiting classrooms and chatting with teachers and administrators. Please take a look here for a bit of information about her visit to Tonopah, and follow her here on Twitter: https://twitter.com/NVSupt Final Thing this week: If you use Lightspeed Classroom to monitor your students on their Chromebooks, I’m working over winter break on changing the integration from Google Classroom to Infinite Campus. Please be aware that this change will break your current link with GC and require that you reset the schedules on your Lightspeed classes when you return from break. The advantage is that students will automatically added and removed from your Lightspeed classes each night once they are showing in your classes in IC. This will also mean that teachers can use Lightspeed Classroom without having to use Google Classroom. That’s all for this week folks. Have a great week and hang in there. Everyday, even these creeping closer to break, are teaching and learning days. :) My Best, -Rob
