New Version of Microsoft Office (Office 365)
Pro Board Training
Many of you have new Pro Boards in your rooms. Below are a couple of videos that Jeff Tron created that covers many of the features on the new boards. (created 8/4/2023)
**I recently added a video below. You can now use Active Inspire with your new Proboards without buying any extra cables using the Screenshare program. This would also allow you to use your document camera hooked up to your desktop just like it was before you got your new board. It isn't necessary to hook the camera straight to the board. (added 8/29/2023)
One thing that needs to be added: For desktop computers, you need to download and install the Promethean Screenshare Program and not use the extension in Chrome. The Chrome extension works great with the Chromebooks, but for desktops download and install the program using this link: https://share.one.prometheanworld.com/
If you are having issues with the desktop computers connecting, updates may be required. Put in a tech work order to get that taken care of.

Did you know that our WCSC Chromebooks have a built-in screen reader for our students? Below is a step by step for how to activate and use it:
How to activate and use the Chromebook Screen Reader
Sign in to the chrome book, click the clock in the bottom right.
That should bring up a menu. In the middle of that menu is Accessibility.
Click the dropdown arrow next to the word Accessibility.
Make sure select to speak has a check to the right of it. If it does not, click on it and it should appear.
Click off of the menu.
There should now be a speaker with a line through it next to the clock area.
When you want it to read something from the web, click that button with the speaker and select a passage that you want to read by clicking and dragging your mouse.
You will see a red rectangle appear as you drag it around the text you would like to read.

(eLearning Coach/Technology Trainer)
Welcome to the teacher resource website. I created this site to be a tool for WCSC staff members. This site will have handouts, tutorials, and videos that will help you to implement the Chromebooks into your daily instruction.
My goal is to keep it current and loaded with ideas for implementing technology into your classroom.
If you are doing something awesome in your classroom, please let me know. If possible, I would like to visit, take photos, and share your success on the teacher spotlight page on this website.
