Customize Your Google Forms
Customize your Google Forms theme by selecting one of the choices Google provides or uploading your own picture. I use Canva's Etsy cover photo template to create unique Google Form headers like the one below.

G Suite Updates
Last week Google announced several awesome updates to its G suite products.
- You can insert a slide from a Google Slides presentation into a Google Doc. You can even link that slide to its source presentation so that the Doc will update if you update the Slide.

Create a Class Account for TinkerCad
Allowing your students to design 3D objects can improve their understanding of math concepts and give them a platform for applying content knowledge in other core subjects. And 3D design has never been easier with Tinkercad, a browser-based computer-aided design program.
This three-minute video provides an overview of Tinkercad.
Interested in the concept but not sure how to apply it in your content area? Check out Common Sense Media's bank of Tinkercad Lesson Plans for inspiration.
Teachers can create class accounts for even our youngest students to use TinkerCad.
Want to dip your toes into 3D printing? BMS and BHS have 3D printers.
