Realizing that WCPSS will be moving to Canvas as a Student Management System in the next 2 years, we decided in summer of 2021 with our DLCs to learn Canvas on our Tech Thursdays!
For new staff, and those who want updates, save your FIRST THURSDAYS to work together on this goal. Snacks will be provided by our PTA.
With 150 new 8th Generation iPads in 5 carts and 2 sets in Art and Bits and Bytes classrooms, we're always looking for new ways to use these devices for student collaboration and creativity.
Staff devices are available for checkout.
We can also make this a Tech Thursday for learning more about these devices.
As part of our Digital Sciences magnet theme, Reedy Creek is offering professional learning in coding and computational thinking to all of our teachers on Tech Thursdays and will work individually with teachers as needed throughout the year.
History: in summer of 2019, a team of five RCMMS staff trained intensively over the summer at the Citadel in South Carolina and at NC State. This training, called InfusingComputing, is a joint venture between the Department of Education at Citadel and the Friday Institute at NC State (FI) funded by NSF.
Through our grant-funded initiative with FI, our goal was to train a core of RCMMS Teacher Leaders who would bring the InfusingComputing model to all teachers at our school. Now, five years in, we are coding across the curriculum. See more on our SNAP site.
All year, within WakeID, you'll find WakeLearns, the best place for the Classes you need... from CPR to Canvas, search for courses. Complete a survey afterwards to make sure you get credit.
Get started here for Level 1: lessons, then practice, then the exam. YES, you can go straight to the exam, if you like.
For details about CEUs within WCPSS, see this website.
Found within your WakeID Portal, Kyte Learning provides courses on many topics. CEUs are accounted for within the program for you to receive credits.
If you complete a Kyte Class, is it automatically registered in eSchools for CEUs within a week or so. 10 credit hours= 1.0 CEU
Kyte will award credit based on teachers' performance on the assessment.
eSchool will sync and credits from Kyte will be automatically uploaded into eSchools.
