You have an iPad and Apple laptop ready for you! Yay! Directions are on this doc to your left. Once you're logged in to your devices, please review all the tutorials below. Some are only informational; most are tasks that the video will walk you through.
We recognize that this is a lot of information. Our goal with your ed tech orientation is to not walk you through any of the platforms/apps/websites in person; instead, we have resources on this page that you can engage with at your own pace. Feel free to come back to these tutorials throughout the week, and throughout the upcoming year.
