Google Tool Bar
In case you or a student has ever lost the toolbar when working in a Google Doc, wanted to point out a helpful button on how to make it reappear.
On the right side of the Google Doc toolbar are two little up (or down arrows). Clicking them will make the toolbar disappear, clicking them again will make it reappear. The keyboard shortcut for this is: Command + Shift + F (Mac) or Control + Shift + F (Chromebook)

With wintery weather still in the air, wanted to share some brain break resources. Check out the links below.
GoNoodle
GoNoodle is a fun tool to use with your whole class. Go to www.gonoodle.com set-up a class and then start watching the interactive videos with students to earn points as a class. Very motivating, easy, and fun to use.

MoveIt is a fun Chrome Browser extension that works as a timer that pop-up on your screen (when using Chrome) and provides a random exercise for the class to do. Fun reminder to get up and get moving!
