Take the Shortcut

classroom management tips

Sunday Sit, Sip, and “Sync” ~ 8-26-2012

While helping as a “Tech Volunteer” in one of our local school districts,
the teachers sign up for a time slot, and I show up.

Their requests vary from SMARTBoard support to loading CD games onto their computers.

The biggest surprise was how many teachers wanted a desktop shortcut for a site, such as their district web-mail.
Sometimes we just don’t know what our teachers don’t know.

It occurred to me that this should be a tip,
and a way for many to save time and steps.
They have many of their management sites linked from their school website,
but a shortcut icon saves them time that they would have to spend going through links or their “favorites” to get to those sites.

So, below is a video to help you with that process.

We hope your year has begun on a positive note, and that your weekend has given you some time to stop, look, listen, and if you have any time at all, 

the “shortcut” you find today looks like this…
