AWESOME! We got almost every single parent regeistered on dojo! This is going to be so important for communication and I'm so excited. Our next step is to get parents into SeeSaw so they can see their students graded work! Remember again our goal is to be as digital as possible. At the moment students are still using pencil and paper for math and writing but we are slowly transitioning over to digital and as such we need a way to be able to reliably send home digital work too. I'm hoping that this will fill that need.
Unfortuantely there was a slight kurfluffle with our computer situation and all the computers in our buildings are being shuffled around. Our ipads are also being reassigned. So we will be 1 to 1 on ipads in a week or two. There are enough computers for each kid though, but since they will be losing the computers that we have in the room we haven't assigned any yet.
Hopefully this afternoon after early release that will all be taken care of. Next steps after that are for me to go through each computer and manually set their home page, setup their accounts, and save passwords for them. For some reason the school district choose things like RH-C114343 as a username and RH-156420 as a password that they expect students to use to log in (those aren't real by the way). I'm not quite sure I understand what the thought process was but regardless saved passwords should be a fix. After that we should be able to start using our digital notebooks finally! Once we get the ipads we'll also be able to more reliably upload to seesaw, do kahoots, manage classkick lessons, and create a blended learning environment. My next blog post will be explaining what a blended learning environment is and exactly what it will look like our in classroom.
