We’re making Excel training videos!
We’ve started to create instructional videos to help you create graphs to show off your data. We’ll be posting them on the Excel page available under “Technology” in the navigation menu above.

This is an excellent introduction to Google Keep by Matt Miller from “Ditch That Textbook.”
I personally use Google Keep all the time and love it! It is a powerful tool for organization and productivity.
Would you like to teach your students computer science but don’t have a computer handy? No problem! Like the unplugged lessons found on code.org, CS Unplugged also offers activities that don’t require any electronics.
CS Unplugged is a collection of free learning activities that teach Computer Science through engaging games and puzzles that use cards, string, crayons and lots of running around.
The activities introduce students to Computational Thinking through concepts such as binary numbers, algorithms and data compression, separated from the distractions and technical details of having to use computers. Importantly, no programming is required to engage with these ideas!
CS Unplugged is suitable for people of all ages, from elementary school to seniors, and from many countries and backgrounds. Unplugged has been used around the world for over twenty years, in classrooms, science centers, homes, and even for holiday events in a park!
