Congratulations!!!The school year is quickly coming to a close!!! I truly hope that you have gained a tool or tip that has assisted you and your students with technology integration. Please continue to provide feedback regarding this year’s Fabulous Friday Technology Tip (F2 T2) via the Blog http://apsf2t2.blogspot.com/ or email.
This is the “Final Edition" of the Fabulous Friday Technology Tip (F2 T2). This edition will focus on a resource in preparation for next school year and a few resources that parents and students can use over the summer.
The first resource is entitled Atlanta Journal Constitution E-Edition. http://nieonline.com/ajc/e_edition.cfm The AJC supplies teachers with electronic newspapers and other educational resources all conveniently online and at no cost. When you sign up for the e-edition you will only receive one user name and password to access the e-edition but 30 students will be able to access the newspaper online at the same time. The website contains activities and daily vocabulary that integrate the daily news. Check it out!
The second resource is APS MyBackpack. https://mybackpack.apsk12.org The student toolbox contains phenomenal resources for all content areas that can be accessed from anywhere during the summer. Be sure that students have their usernames and passwords for MyBackpack before they leave.
The final resource is Backpack Games. http://www.backpackgames.com/ Back Pack Games provides high quality games from around the web which are categorized according to educational standards by grade level, and many are aligned with Common Core Standards.
