The Top 3 from the LMC & IT this week 3/4/19:
Amy & Tania both attended the ICE (Illinois Computing Educators) conference last week. This week's Top 3 will come directly from what we learned last week.
1. Math & Science Teachers: Did you know about the Equatio extension? It is a Chrome Extension in the Chrome Extension Store that will help you to insert equations into google products quickly and neatly, and free for teachers. Premium (paid) features include voice to text, handing writing recognition and more. Stop writing equations like d=m/v and give students power to show work digitally!
2. Looking for pictures and audio for your presentations or to recommend to students? In order to be responsible digital citizens, you need to be aware of Fair Use guidelines (when/how/where you can use copyrighted images/audio, etc.) Please model with your students how to search for and use media fairly. Always give credit and/or ask permission. You can also find this list on the "Create & Present" part of the LMC Website:
