Air Drop

Did you know your students can air drop you an assignment to your computer if the file is too large to upload to Schoology or email? This will also work if you are trying to share pictures too.
1. Go to your finder (the smiling face at the bottom of your screen)
2. Click on Air Drop on the top left




3. Where it says "Allowed to be discovered by" be sure that is change to everyone
4. Students can then go to the assignment/picture/etc. and choose to air drop it to you.
5. A message will show up on your computer for you to allow and open. You may choose this option and then save the file to your computer after it has downloaded.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Using a Stylus Pen on a Computer Trackpad

5th/6th Tip: Sarah Burton As a part of our technology program, I will be sending you tech tips every Tuesday.  They will range in complexity and purpose, but I promise to only send you ideas that I think are worth your time.  This week’s tip comes from the blog   The Techie Teacher  and involves using an iPad stylus on your computer trackpad.  I played around with it last night and found that it was very helpful when it comes to drawing or writing a signature on the computer. http://www.thetechieteacher.net/2017/08/using-stylus-pen-on-computer-trackpad.html Using a Stylus Pen on a Computer Trackpad A few weeks ago I learned that stylus pens also work on computer trackpads.  How did I not know this?  As soon as I made this discovery, I grabbed my 99 cent iPad stylus pen, opened Google Autodraw and tested it out on both my MacBook and Chromebook.  It worked like a charm! I posted the image on the left to both ...
