With 1:1 devices now in place in the high school, I am seeing many teachers explore the use of audio and video as ways students can create and submit work. This has led to some amazing work being done as podcasts, group videos, and verbal descriptions of learning. One of the challenges presented by using these methods is how students can submit their work to the teacher. Schoology has built-in tools that make this process easier for both teachers and students.
So, are you thinking about doing some work with speaking/listening? Maybe you want to do a project that includes video? Check out the Schoology Quick Sheet on Audio/Video in Schoology. If you want to do a project that involves audio or video editing, I can meet with you to go over some tools that will support that advanced level of work.
This list is an example of some flipped learning! An important part of any flipped learning experience is setting clear expectations. With that in mind, I want you to know that I will not be covering these topics in our group training, so please take a moment to check out the info below.
This is an exciting way technology can redefine the way we do things here at SCHS! While the smore flier below has all of the details about how the form works, there are a few more important pieces to share.

2. Expectations and ProceduresCheck out this great site for some important information on Tech Tips and Tricks for the 1:1 classroom. Short on time? Here is a quick list of classroom rules you can use to get by for now...
3. Offline AccessThere is limited offline access of Google drive files while in the Chrome browser when not on wifi. More details about this feature are coming. In the meantime, I can tell you that the only guaranteed way to access files while offline is to download them to the device.
(This would be how students who have no Wifi access at home can still access files.) How to Download Files:
During today's faculty meeting, I will use PowToon as a presentation tool. It is an exciting option to use for your own presentations, and it would be amazing to see what students can do with it. (Katrina Boone used it with students last year. Thanks Katrina for pointing me in this direction!)
Content of the presentation below is just for fun, so I could focus on playing with the features.
