What's Happening This Week:

Big tech topics to highlight include the launch of Exact Path, Study Island top users, teacher Chromebooks, and a Capstone Pebble Go Interactive November Calendar!

Teacher Chromebooks to use with your Newline Board

Teacher Chromebooks are available upon request for your Newline Board. The Chromebook and the USB-C cable works better in some cases than using Chromium or the Google Chrome App from your board. The Chromebook will give you a bit more security as well as a keyboard. It also is easier to work with your Google account from the Chromebook. Please let us know if you are interested in a teacher Chromebook.

Checkout FigJam and learn a little bit about the different tools it has to offer! This resource was posted on the Teacher Computer Ed Association (TCEA) social media sites.
