Subject: Nearpod Oct. Badge Challenge 🎃
Teachers,
It’s time for the October Nearpod Badge Challenge! Each month, Nearpod users in Utah can earn a digital badge to show off their Nearpod skills.
October 2022: Digital Citizenship & Literacy CollectionTo earn this month’s digital badge, launch at least one lesson from Nearpod’s Digital Citizenship & Literacy collection with students (minimum 3) during the month of October.
Click here to explore the Digital Citizenship & Literacy collection.

If you are new (or old) to this I would be more than happy to help get you going in NearPod.

LanSchool air

There is an old/new tool in town!
LanSchool Air 
LanSchool for Chromebooks that actually works now!!! There is an icon for it on your desktop that says "LanSchool Air Teach..." It's a bunch of small blue squares.

It is not quite as robust as the original but has all that you will need to observe your students on their Chomebooks.  Allow, block and screenshots are the simplest and best tools you can use this for.  PLEASE let me know if you would like some help in getting starting with this.  I would happily come down to a class and show you how it works.  You still have to Start and End classes but students are NOT locked in anymore.
Click here for some on your own details

It is specifically for Chromebooks and does not replace the legacy wired version in labs.

Social Media

Please let me know when you have submitted your site and I will put your SM link up on our school's Social Media webpage.

More Emails?

Sometimes the last thing you want are MORE e-mails.  BUT what if they WERE relevant to what you teach or are interested in... UEN hosts a large amount of education lists that you may be interest in.  Check it out here - ​https://lists.uen.org/mailmlists.uen.org/mailman/listinfo

Library

Please don't forget that I (and the Library) are here for you and your students.  We have physical books, e-books, audiobooks, an old school computer lab, a poster printer, work tables, magazines. 

I can help teach your students about research, tech tools usage, Digital Literacy, library books.
​
If you ever need to send a student down please do so on a pass or note.

UEN.org

If you have not seen it yet UEN.org's Online Library (formerly known as Pioneer library) has the same great tools but a new look.   I can help with the tools here also.  I sent the home page so you can click the grade level you are looking for. ​onlinelibrary.uen.org/  If you need students to access this from home be sure to post the log in on your Canvas page.
