YouTube Trouble?

We have received reports of trouble with YouTube today. If you or your students have trouble, please clear cache and cookies for All Time (<Ctrl>+H) then reboot (not log out and back in; actually restart). That seems to fix the issue for most users. If you still have trouble, enter an Incident IQ ticket for Devices/Hardware --> Chromebook or Desktop --> Asus CX3 or HP Pro Mini 400 G9 --> Issue Not Listed. Include details of what's happening and the troubleshooting steps that were taken.

Collaboration Corner

Teacher Collaboration

Recently, Dr. Eyanagho and I collaborated on a lesson idea. She already had the structure for what students would be researching and creating to present during class. We discussed options of what the audience could be doing during the presentations to stay engaged while their peers shared information. She landed on using a non-tech activity for the audience to complete while their classmates presented. If you would like to brainstorm or collaborate on tech or non-tech ideas for your class, please reach out! Nicole Ellis, Dr. Teddi Martin, Dr. Tammy Turner, and I are all here to support you!
