Have you noticed a better cell signal at Norris the last few months? Verizon recently fired up their cell booster that they placed on our campus through a project that has been in the works for the last couple of years. So the good news is that many of us now have better Cell signals around campus. (The bad news is that kids do too as well as data access via their phones too.) If you find yourself in an area with bad coverage, you can still enable WiFi cell access.
There are a lot of great slide templates and class activity templates in our "Google Slide templates and ideas" doc.
Flipgrid just added the comment feature for students. If you have not used this amazing tool with your students... now is the time! Reachout to us if you need assistance getting started!
