App Highlight of the Week - Coggle

App of the Week - Coggle
This week, I am highlighting a tool that I have used in the past and have been impressed with. This tool, coggle.it, is a freemium (has paid features) mindmapping tool that you can use in your classroom today. The intuitive design, easy features, and free version make it something that has value right away. Students when participating in the writing process or the brainstorm process need a place to gather their ideas. Coggle, a site that does not require a log in to work on someone else's mind map, is a free tool that let's our students organize their thoughts. I would recommend checking it out!

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.
