October Staff Meeting Tech Time

Paul and I would like to talk about two items today. The first one is more personal in nature and the second one is more for classroom use. Here we go!

Paul told me about Google Voice earlier in the year and how his son Luke uses it. It sounded like a pretty cool feature for those of us that have to juggle multiple phones and answering machines. Oh, by the way, did I mention that you can also use your new Google number to call anywhere in the US or Canada for free. Here is a quick video about it:




If you think that Google Voice might be helpful to you, give it a try. Here is some additional information if you would like to read more on the subject. Remember, as with all things Google, all you need is a Gmail account to get started.

Next up is a quick review. Paul has talked before about ZoomIt, his favorite computer presentation tool. Here is a quick review on how it works and how you can start using it tomorrow in your classroom. Yes, another video. (Why should I type when you can watch and listen?)






Remember, it is located on the high school's Shared drive in the Staff folder. Give it a try.


We hope you find this info helpful, thanks.
