Welcome back to another exciting year at GCS.
Students in grades 5 through 8 will continue to work in the "cloud."
The latest digital tool we are introducing is called PREZI. Students in grade 5-8 will sign up during Media class at
http://prezi.com/pricing/edu/ for a free account. Prezi is a fascinating presentation tool that "makes presentations zoom." The login site is:
PREZIThe files they create at school using "
GOOGLE APPS for education" are actually hosted on the Internet. Students can access their Documents, Spreadsheets, Calendars and School Email securely from any computer with a web browser. (Google Chrome is recommended)
You can help them set their calendar to SMS (text) updates to your cell phones for important project due dates, etc.
All classes will be participating in ongoing, age-appropriate Internet Safety lessons throughout the year.
