Virtual Toolbox
Start your virtual journey here!
Dig into the tools and find what will work best to meet your instructional objectives and the needs of your students. Please remember all of the tools may be new to students and families, so it's important to introduce a few at a time so everyone feels comfortable learning. Additionally, sites that take up a lot of bandwidth, like creation tools, may not be appropriate for students who only using their phones data plan or dial up connectivity sources for internet. Should you want more guidance, please reach out to your principal and click on Telework Guidance to review recent information sent out from the district. Please note this website is an evolving resource which will be added to in the coming months.
