App Highlight of the Week - Adobe Spark

App Highligh - Adobe Spark
This week's app highlight of the week is Adobe Spark. Adobe Spark is a multi-faceted tool that can be used for student presentations. When using Adobe Spark, students can create images with text overlays, page flyers, or quick videos. Adobe Spark is a powerful tool that allows for students to create meaningful projects quickly, easily, and most importantly, on their Chromebooks. The best news is, while there are free accounts available for students over the age of 13, in April of this year, schools will be offered free premium accounts with premium features, as well as a change in the policies that allow for students of all ages to use the service. You can read about some of the coming changes here.

Adobe Spark is an easy to use tool that allows for lots of creativity in the classroom. Feel free to check it out and ask questions if you have any!

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.
