I hope that everyone had a great break last week! It's time to get back in the classroom and push through these last few weeks to finish the semester. I realize that many will be reviewing for semester exams. Check out Plickers and Factile as possible review options. More information is below in this week's Tech Tips.

Tech Tips

Did you know that the Outlook App on your phone has its own Do Not Disturb Mode?

In Outlook App, click on your profile picture in the top left corner.

Then click on the little bell icon in the top right corner of the menu.

This will bring up your Do Not Disturb Options. You can have it automatically turn off for evenings and weekends.

Clipboard History

Have you ever copied and pasted something, then needed it again after you copied and pasted something else? Hit the Windows Key and V at the same time to access your clipboard histroy in Windows 10.

Plickers

This one isn't super techy, but it is a fast and easy way to do quick knowledge checks. Students hold up a piece of paper and turn it a certain way for their answer. You take a picture of your classroom in the app and it records all of your students' answers.
