Things I Learned or Saw at KySTE 2014

" Technology in the Early Childhood Classroom" presented by Suzanne Stewart, St. Lawrence Preschool/ Notre Dame Academy (Louisville)

No, your students aren't too young to use technology. Come learn how to integrate Kidblog, Animoto, Tellagami, Twitter, Facebook, and QR Codes with your students. Showcase all your students are learning.

***This was a really cool seminar!*** You can learn from it, too with this QR code!

Use this QR code to link to the presentation.  Once you link to the presentation, there are many QR codes within that will link you to some really good resources and show you how you can use QR codes and an iPad or other tablet to guide student learning in the classroom for students on different levels.  See how they use QR codes to engage and involve parents and administrators/support staff.

Using Google In The Education Environment

Google Apps for Education (GAFE) is the next big thing. Come learn with Google Certified Teacher Donnie Piercey as he shares some innovative ways that he uses these apps daily with his students. Donnie is also piloting a 1:1 Chromebook initiative for his district and will share how he uses these powerful devices in his classroom. Let's. Get. Googley.

Instructions For Overlaying Calendars

Overlaying Calendars

PURPOSE: You have multiple calendars that you need to view in Outlook. Instead of viewing one at a time, you can see all of the calendars data at once. They will be color coded so you know which appointment goes with which calendar.

1. Open outlook Client (NOT the web Version)

2. In the left hand side on the navigation pane, Select the calendars that you wish to view. If they have much in them, I would not recommend more than 2 or 3 at once.

3. RIGHT CLICK on each of the calendars and choose OVERLAY—NOTE: This must be done for each calendar you want to overlap.

4. In the Right hand side, notice the merged calendar view. Each calendars’ data will be a separate color. By looking at the color of the title of the calendar, you can tell which appointment goes to which calendar. (you can customize the color of each by right clicking on the calendar in the left navigation pane, choosing COLOR and selecting the color you desire. Just make sure to NOT choose the same color for different calendars)

5. To Unbind the overlay, Right click the calendar in the navigation pane and choose OVERLAY. This will toggle the overlay to off (Or turn it on if the calendar was not currently part of an overlay.)

Adding A Printer

1. Click on your START button.

2. Click on Printers & Faxes on the right (or select printers and other hardware from the control panel).

3. Under Printer Tasks (left), click Add A Printer.

4. Click the Next button.

5. Select Add A Network Printer and click Next.

6. Select Connect To This Printer, enter \\e525000n5\pre and scroll to find and select the printer you are looking for. Then click Next button.

• PRE_C3245_WR = workroom copier
• PRE_HP2015 = principal's printer
• PRE_HP4250_OFF = office printer
• PRE_HP2055_CONF = small conference room printer
• PRE_HP8150_1 = large conference room printer

7. Do you want to set this as your default printer?  Yes or No?  Next button.

Finished!
