Welcome to Tiger One, the online collection of K-12 technology resources that can be integrated into any classroom.
Why become Google Certified?
What if every student came to your class tomorrow with their own Chromebook?
One of the technology department's goals is to make 1-to-1 devices happen as soon as possible. With the new technology fee, we are getting closer and closer. WILL YOU BE READY?
Eric Curts, Technology Integration Specialist for SPARCC, leads Google Bootcamps designed to help you earn Google Certification (Level 1 or Level 2) in just 2 days! If you aren't interested in attending, but would rather work at your own pace, the checklists (Level 1, Level 2) provided on this page are still an incredibly helpful resource for preparing for the certification test. ~CC
Did you know that placing a YouTube video into a Google Slide is a simple trick to keep students from seeing potentially inappropriate YouTube ads while viewing an educational video in class? Also, when creating Google Slide presentations try adding a music video and minimizing it to "button size", in order to achieve audio enhanced Google Slides.~CC
EquatIO is an extension for your Chrome browser that makes math digital, helping teachers and students at all levels create math expressions quickly and easily. You can type virtually any mathematical expression directly on your keyboard or touchscreen into a Google Doc. EquatIO instantly turns your thoughts into clear, accurate on-screen formulas. Teachers can now get a free premium account which includes handwriting recognition, and works with Google Forms, Slides, Sheets & Drawings. ~AO
If you are looking specifically for an online assessment tool that is AIR like and automatically grades many question styles, you might also be interested in Edulastic. Checkout the February 2017 Edition of Tiger One for more information.
I also encourage my students to "Star" their best work, which gives them quick and easy access to items for their ePortfolios ~AO
We have continued collecting short, instructional videos that we created that focus on common questions from staff entitled Tiger One Webinars. There you will find #2- "Citations with Google Docs," and many others, like Ellen McClure's LCPD presentation. ~AO
