Student Cheating??
This came from a recent recent #nebedu Twitter chat on filtering:
Check out www.slader.com It basically is a place where students can register for an account, pick their text book, and the page they are on, and get detailed answers. As one Tech person put it...We have some teachers that don't care as they grade on quizzes and tests only. And some that want it blown up :)
Erskine's Editorial... What can we take form this at Norris: It's all about classroom management, how we access our students, and being aware of what is available to students 24x7. (I have mixed thoughts about the comment from the one school, who's teachers comment was ... " I grade on quizzes and tests only".)
Are you using IFTTT? Or maybe asking what the heck is IFTTT! If that is you, you may be missing out on one of the best time saving tools out there.
As this guide says: "IFTTT is an automation that will enable you to connect 2 services so that, when something happens with one service, a trigger goes off and an action takes place automatically on the other."
Visit the site, look over some recipes, and see what it can do for you!
