This morning, we had our second Tech Tuesday here at Parkside. Thanks to all who woke up bright and early to join me this morning. We talked about our new Kunos
that we received in December, including the basics, navigating, and searching for and downloading apps from Google Play. I also shared our website Tech4Parkside which has lots and lots of apps
categorized by subject. Try some out with your students and let me know what you think!

Homework for over the summer:
Take your Kuno (and charger) home and play with it! Don't let it collect dust here at school over the summer. Get comfortable with it and download a variety of apps so that you can share them with your students for Fall.

Thanks to those that joined me this morning for our first Tech Tuesday! We talked about how technology is changing the world we live in. Things are so different compared to when we were in school. Despite all this change, technology can make our lives easier! I introduced a few helpful productivity tools that can streamline both our personal and professional lives.

Please find below the link to the presentation, as well as the links to some of the online tools I mentioned. Take some time to try them out!
