Stickies

Ever need to keep track of something on the computer for a short period of time or keep track of something that you repeatedly need to do every single week, but have no where to put it.  Well now you do, with the use of Stickies.  Stickies are like digital post-it notes.  To open up the Stickies application click:

Go in the menu bar at the top of the screen and then Applications

then look alphabetically for Stickies.

Once you double click on Stickies, a blank sticky note will come up that you can type your short list or long list of reminders to.  Other options within Stickies, mainly located within File, Note and Color on the top menu bar are to add a New Note, make each note a Floating Window and/or Translucent Window, and to change the color of each note.

1 thing I do is I make sure that Stickies opens up when I login to my computer each time.  You can do this by 2-finger clicking on the Stickies icon in the dock,

 then hovering over Options and then clicking once on Open at Login.

Education Grants-Technology

Located in my office is a calendar displaying Educational Grants in relationship to technology.  Also click on the Education Grants-Technology title above to take you to a link talking and introducing more information related to Educational Grants.

If you are ever interested in applying for a local, state or national Education Grant in relationship to technology, please let me know so I can support you.  Of course the HDCSD technology team wants to make sure what you are applying for is compatible with the types of technology/media we currently have for teachers, staff and students, but we also want you to have the opportunity to receive different types of technology/media for your students, to help differentiate your teaching and their learning.

If you ever stop in my office for a question, check out the calendar on my tack board for some ideas.
