Pear Deck Trial for BISD on the Way!

Our Pear Deck rep reached out today and offered a Pear Deck trial for BISD through the rest of the year. That's AMAZING!  Pear Deck is a Google Slides add-on that allows your students to engage in learning and with each other in some amazing ways. Not familiar with Pear Deck? See the video below. Want in on the trial, complete this form before 3/20, and I'll get back with you as soon as I have final details from our amazing sales rep.


UTeach: Another Opportunity to Engage in a Transformative Learning Experience 

#blendedlearning

If you are already looking ahead to the end of the semester and thinking about changing things up a bit in your classroom for next year, consider the UTeach Blended Learning Series. Thirty teachers in BISD have already completed the course, and Lori Bagwell at BMS has completed the Advanced Blended Learning Course. Ask someone on your campus about his/her transformative journey to blended learning. More information is available here. If you are interested, email sgroff. BISD pays the $1000 tuition, and when you complete the course, TEA reimburses BISD. Winner winner chicken dinner!
