School Year 2021-22 Canvas Update
The Canvas to SAM Gradebook grade passback is now available. The directions are VERY important and MUST be followed EXACTLY or it won't work!!!! There are some very specific things that must be configured in your Canvas grade book, and some very specific things that must be done for each assignment that you want to pass back to SAM.
Passback is not instant. Grades only sync at night. If you want the grade to sync to SAM, it must be completely graded by 5:00 pm each day.
Please use the Canvas Support Page to find the specific directions!
JPS Learn At Home - Information for Students and Teachers
The District has created a site to support parents and students at home that can be found here and on the District website.
We have also created a special site for teacher support and can be accessed here.
This page will have an online discussion group for teachers where they can ask questions and get help from the JPS Ed Tech and Teaching and Learning Departments, watch recorded video conferences, and get links to resources to help with our new "Learn at Home" initiative.
Technology integration is the use of computer technology, be it hardware, software, or peripherals to enhance teaching and learning. Technology integration is defined not by the amount or type of technology used, but by how and why it is used. In the integrated classroom, technology is simply a tool like a chalkboard or textbook whose effective and appropriate use makes teaching and learning better.
Technology integration in JPS is:
students using technology to develop deeper meaning and understanding
students learning to understand and value their own work by using the tools, materials, and resources that technology can provide
students and teachers using technology to increase the novelty and variety of learning
teachers using technology to make learning meaningful, engaging, rigorous and relevant
teachers using technology to enhance and differentiate instruction and provide powerful learning opportunities for all students
teachers using appropriate technology to provide students with opportunities to explore and research and to apply learning to real world context.
In a truly integrated instructional environment, teachers and students have the tools, skills, training, and knowledge to determine when and how technology should be used, and when the use of technology in the classroom is so pervasive, it is not even noticed. It is a part of the routine and practice of teaching and learning.
