Home filtering, Teacher Tech tools, Awesome new Google features, and more....

We need to encourage parents to filter and monitor student's internet access at home!

We do the best we can here at school... but parent's need to be encouraged to monitor at home. 

Feel free to share my recommendations doc to parents, patrons, and others that may need help. 

Misc. web tools and tech resources for teachers:

How to Add a public DropBox folder to your Google Drive - My doc will walk you through how to set this up.  I just set mine up, because I had someone that needed to send me a file, but Google blocked it.  (EXE file.)  This solution works great.  Nice way to collect files from parents, students, etc...  No sign in, etc... just drop me the file.
