March 2020 Newsletter3/6/2020 Something to Help Remember the Steps to Wash HandsKami - PDF annotation appZoom Tutorial Found By Jackie LoertscherThis is a tool for secondary students that accelerates feedback, prevents plagiarism, and builds information literacy skills. We have the full app version turned on in Canvas for a limited time. Check out the resouces below:
Hidden Mac OS Catalina TipFrom Nathan Smith, Utah State University If you use Windows, you probably know that you can drag an application window until your cursor touches the left or right side of your screen, and then it will dock that window to the left half or right half of the screen. In Mac OSX Catalina, did you know you can do that as well? Here's how! Your window will then be docked to the side you've chosen, and the Mac will then allow you to choose an application or Finder window to dock to the other side of the screen. To quit this view, move your cursor to the top of an application window and click on the green button. Respondus Lockdown BrowserTeachers many of you have asked for a secure testing browser. Well, the Respondus Lockdown browser is now available in Canvas. We have also set up all-district owned Chromebooks to use this browser. The students will access it through the kiosk apps on the login screen. You will have to set the test up to use the Lockdown Browser and your quiz needs to be created using the classic quiz maker in Canvas. I know that the district has asked that you use the new quiz maker, but Respondus does not work with it yet. If you want the secure browser you must use the classic tool. There is also training material located in Canvas for you to use. One final thought is that right now we are set up as a trial account if you like this tool let us know. So we can push for the purchase of Respondus Lockdown Browser. They have also given us access to their StudyMate Tool. Take a look at that tool too. It is a flashcard tool and self-assessment and other learning games. Right now we have it until the end of the school year. How to Direct share a Classic Quiz on Canvas
