Education on Air: It Takes a Teacher

Over the past weekend, Google for Education hosted its second annual Education on Air conference. This conference did not meet in a physical location, but instead, broadcast all sessions over the internet and recorded them for future viewing.

Overall, there was a star studded lineup of presenters, including Dr. John Hattie and Dr. Jill Biden along with many more. While I did not have a chance to participate in the full conference, I did pop in for a few sessions and was very impressed and surprised with the quality of the professional development that was being offered. With sessions around the globe, I encourage you to check out some of the sessions and materials that are available.

You can find the video and the materials at the Education on Air site.

Chromebook Shortcut of the Week - 10/14/2016

This weeks shortcut of the week is to help you project your Chromebook. Due to resolutions, your Chromebook will likely default to the “Extended Screen” mode. If they happens, you will see your desktop background on the screen upon plugging in your Chromebook (your Chromebook needs an HDMI connection, if you need a cable, I can get you one!). In order to change this, you will use the “Ctrl + Full Screen” button. This will quickly switch between the two modes, allowing you to switch back and forth. A quick word to the wise, the extended screen is usually to the right!

Chromebook Shortcut of the Week - April 10th - Harder Reset

Torubleshooting a Chromebook is fairly easy. The first thing that I try is a reset. If a reset doesn't work, I can try to a harder reset, using this week's shortcut. When you press and hold the "Refresh" key and the Power button, you Chromebook will reset harder than simply powering down. It will not lose the settings that are on it. This shortcut is a crucial second line in ensuring that our students' Chromebooks are always functioning properly.
