Excellence in Education: Vibby (Innovation)
Vibby is a simple to use web application and Chrome extension that allows you to edit, comment and interact with YouTube videos. It’s a simple three step process:
- Select your video and paste the link into Vibby.
- Start a conversation by choosing the portions of the video to highlight/emphasize. This could be most important portions, confusing parts, portions to discuss further, etc.
- Share the new link. The new video can also be embedded.
Excellence in Education: A Simple Question to Ask Your Students (Embracing Students)
A great question stem to ask your students at any point of the year is “I wish my teacher knew…”
I know a couple of you have already done this (I can’t remember who was talking to me about it--I’m getting old), but it’s also a great activity to do when you have a couple of minutes at the end of the class and student responses may become more “honest” as students become more comfortable with you.
Need to Knows
Homecoming is Oct. 1st and we would love for you to help chaperone the dance. We will have 2 shifts, the first is from 7:45-9:45 and the second is from 9:15-11:15. Please contact Ms. Meade.
Mr. Jacoby, and occasionally other DART members, will be doing non-evaluative and informal walk throughs to determine how we are integrating technology. The data does not go to administration and is instead being used to note areas of strength and where we can improve and where additional trainings may be necessary in regards to technology use, Seven Pathways, and the SAMR Model. Bert will visit each teacher 3 times this school year and you can always schedule for him to come visit your classroom as well.
Friday Activity Calendar (Mentorship/Portfolio/Club Day) For this Friday, 10th and 11th grade Mentorships will do the club info and PSAT info on 9/16. Please be mindful of this as it will require students begin promptly.
