As part of my own professional growth for this year, I have set a goal to share weekly tips and resources that will help my colleagues save time and energy. Some are easy, beginner tips, and others are for those who aim to be power users. Here's the first Tuesday Tech Tips....


1. Gmail Tip: Are you stressed out just by looking at your inbox?



2. Super Easy Chrome Tip: You can permanently keep tabs open for your most important sites (such as email, MySA, Google Drive (or a specific folder in your Drive), Seesaw, Google Classroom, etc. Just right click on the tab and select "Pin Tab." When you close and reopen Chrome, all your pinned tabs will reopen.




3. New Seesaw Feature: Now you or your students can add customized LABELS to any drawing or photo.

4. Fun iOS (iPhone or iPad) app for teachers: Decide Now (Customizable wheel--add your students' names, tap the--and it will randomize selections to keep students on their toes. This app used to be free, but I think it may cost .99 now).
