Flocabulary + Common Sense Media = Awesome

What a team - these two power house groups collaborated and the result is excellent. Visitors to the Flocabulary website will be treated to the top ten things one should think about to avoid over-sharing.
If you're not familiar with Flocabulary, the content is always set to music and made into a song - and this is no Glen Miller, folks, it's actually something your students will like .  (Wait, who?)   Not only will the music grab your students' attention, but the lyrics, challenge questions and a fill-in-the-blank activity can also be found on the Flocabulary site.  Common Sense Media rates, educates and advocates for kids by offering schools and parents information on Digital Citizenship and unbiased reviews on a myriad of games, apps, websites and more. Together they provide the  perfect combination of content and engagement that will help get the message of Digital Citizenship to your students.  Peace Out!  http://www.flocabulary.com/oversharing/

The "New" Google Drive?

It's the time of year for educators where everything old is new again.  The same can now be said for your Google Drive account...IF you want it to be.  Google has recently updated the look of their Drive app which will change the way you view your  files.  To take a look at this new makeover just click the settings menu (the little gear in the upper right corner) and choose "Experience the New Drive".  If you decide you're not a fan, you can always toggle back to the old Drive by repeating the same steps.  Google Gooru has some terrific screenshots comparing the old look to the new and explanations of 11 features you need to know about.   Click here to learn more.
