Google Classroom
You may have noticed Google Classroom got a few upgrades over the summer. Here is a blog post from Google covering some of the changes. I've been doing my best to keep tabs, but there's no better source for questions and insights than teachers using a tool with students every day! Please keep me posted if you have any questions or comments about the changes.

Technology Survey
Thank you for completing the technology survey at the end of last school year. The data from that survey was incredibly useful and we will continue to set goals based on it, including developing more platform-specific PD and further clarifying the DIR process. Below are screenshots from some of the survey questions.
