Five on Friday

I hope everyone had a GREAT summer and a FANTASTIC first week back with students.  Last year I lamented the fact that I am not a good blogger but I did enjoy my Five on Friday posts.  Here is my first one of the 2017-2018 school year.

1.  Did you know that Google Classroom got an update over the summer which will allow you to more easily get your students into the classroom?  It use to be that we would have to copy the class code on the board in order to share it with the students.  Now you can display it from within Google Classroom!  To do this, navigate to your "Student Section" of classroom and locate the class code.  It now has a drop down arrow beside it.  From the drop down you can choose Display!  

2.  Speaking of Google, did you know that they have developed their own curriculum now?  I haven't yet checked it out but I intend to do so soon!  It's called Be Internet Awesome!

3.  Recently I was asked if I would share a resource I created.  This is a glyph you can do in draw using Lego characters.  I am a huge fan of the Lego avatar site but lately it has been acting "glitchy" so I decided to do something myself.  Hope you enjoy this resource.

4.  Recently I stumbled across this cool tip for docking two opened windows on a Chromebook. It was shared with me by a friend, Wanda Terral, on her Facebook page.  I am posting the tip and linking it to her blog which has a number of other tips and tricks.  

5.  And now for my first Friday at the Movies for this year!  -  It's not really a movie but more of a sing-a-long. I may use this as my "theme song" for the year!
