EdCamp Michiana Recap & Reflection

This past Saturday, I had a chance to go to Edcamp Michiana. Edcamps are some of my favorite forms of professional development because it doesn't at all feel like professional development! The event is set up as an unconference, with the idea that the participants will generate items that they wish to discuss and people will volunteer to facilitate those conversations! Yes, it is conversational! No one is in the front of the room leading a session with a slide deck. It is all participant-focused.

This years' Edcamp Michiana was awesome, at least the part that I stayed for. I had to travel with my daughter, so I was only able to attend the first session. The first session was meaningful technology integration and 1-1 classroom management. The conversation between educators from different perspectives, different schools, and different experience levels was phenomenal! The conversation went longer than the block!

If this sounds like a blast for you, keep an eye out for next years' event. It will happen in the fall on an away Notre Dame football weekend. You can follow Edcamp Michiana on twitter!

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.
