May Updates

Hard to believe that we are entering the last weeks of this school year! May is National Sports & Fitness Month, National Bike Month, and National Barbeque Month. I found this great website for National Days for those who #CelebrateEveryDay.

Check out the Thinglink below for app suggestions, this month's Tech Tip Calendar, and other useful resources!

Tech Tools for Getting Connected

Success in education is all about building positive relationships... with students, teachers, parents, and community members. These positive relationships rely heavily upon open communication and trust. Welcoming and inviting visitors into the school is one way to begin building relationships, but we must also tap into the numerous technology tools available today for connecting with students, parents, and the community beyond the four walls of the school.



These tools allow schools and teachers to easily share important information and announcements through a variety of outlets. Equally important, many of these tools also allow parents and community members to get a glimpse into the amazing moments that happen in the classroom every day! For those who prefer video tutorials, I also created the interactive Touchcast below.
