GFSD Technology Check-In

Hopefully you have found time in these last couple of weeks to step away from your Chromebook and enjoy some downtime. We will continue to send out a brief newsletter during the summer to let you know of upcoming technology professional development opportunities. Wishing you a relaxing and restorative summer.

Virtually yours,
Cari and Annemarie

Our community resources site got a makeover for summer. See all of the grade level resources to keep our students learning.

Our new teacher site offers the same remote learning resources previously available, along with some new resources. Check it out here!

There are a lot of exciting changes coming to familiar tools. Google is releasing new Meet features to better meet instructional needs. Seesaw is also rolling out updates in the coming days. We will be sharing more information as it becomes available.

We will continue to hold office hours over the summer in order to be regularly available to support you. One of the tech coaches will be available every Tuesday from 1:00-1:30.
