PBS Learning Media - An Awesome Tool for Our Classroom

PBS Learning Media
Today, I wanted to share a favorite tool of mine. PBS Learning Media is a program that leverages the very best of PBS programming, partnered with lesson plans, and makes it available for use in our classrooms. Find video from NOVA, Frontline, and the Ken Burns Collection to use in your classroom. Much of the content comes attached to lesson plans that you can take and adapt to meet the needs of your class. 

PBS Learning Media is a form of Open Educational Resources. Open Educational Resources allow for content to freely and built upon by fantastic educators like yourself. OERs are a growing trend in education because "Free is Good." As we progress, OERs will get better and better, although, PBS Learning Media is already loaded with great features and opportunities for growth, learning, and engagement. 

If you have any questions about PBS Learning Media or how to use it in your classroom, please let me know.

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.
