This is installed on your desktop computer. You may also download the app on your iPad. It is free. Lync allows you to instant message anyone in the CPS district. You can send text message or video chat. It also allows you to attend staff development sessions from just about anywhere as long as you have access to the Internet. CPS is going to provide some staff development sessions through LYNC. To see the staff development LYNC sessions you need to access the Tech Services Training calendar. You access this from your Outlook email.

You can search by subject or topic, find a video and standards are located below the video. It provides short clips to popular movies like Shrek. To access the videos you will need to set up an account. See Tami for the code.
PebbleGo (located on CPS home page under schools, electronic resources)
Excellent resource for students in grades K-2 to research information. It provides audio versions of information, pictures,and short videos. The information is limited but the vocabulary is geared for our younger students.
