Several teachers had expressed a desire to continue using PowerPoints and ActivInspire flipcharts for student review as they had when utilizing traditional laptops. Most of these PowerPoints contained audio which did not transfer over to Slides and the ActivInspire software must be downloaded in order to use the flipcharts so this prevented their use on the Chromebooks. I created a tutorial on using Screencast-o-matic and scheduled a Technology Thursday for those wishing to have additional help using it for the first time. While several indicated interest, only two teachers attended the session. The video tutorial was shared to the staff via our shared Google 'How To' folder and also on the shared network drive in our Technology folder. I also spent time conferring with our media specialist regarding upcoming Technology PLT meetings. It was decided that I would present the use of the Google Add-on Formenate to grades 2-5 as many of these teachers have expressed an interest in being able to use Google Forms for assessments and many of their assessments were previously created in Microsoft Word.
