Links and Loves - Canvas Calendar, Fall Cricut Ideas, Alexa for Your Car, Most Used Extensions

By -
What's new for you this week? I've been enjoying homecoming week and all the school spirit from students and staff. #GoSpartans!

 This week's Links and Loves:
I found this post to help a colleague with sharing a Canvas calendar through a Google calendar to help with easy access for parents and students. 
I'm inspired by all of these Fall Cricut projects. I'm hoping to find some time to explore these further and do a little decorating in the Innovation Lab. 
Did you know that there is now an Amazon Alexa for your car? Perhaps I will put this on my wish list for the holidays!




 Here are a few extensions that I have been using on a regular basis: Extensity, Wakelet, Eyedropper and Screencastify. Do you have a favorite extension that you use daily? I'd love to hear about it.

Quick Tip:

 Did you know that when in present mode in Google Slides, you can tap on the B key to turn your slide black? Or you can tap on the W key to turn the slide white. To go back to your slide, just click again on the B key or the W key again. This is a great way to pause or get the attention of your audience.

 What I've Been Reading:

 I finished the novel, The Perfect Wife by JD Delaney! It was a psychological thriller that kept me interested in the story throughout. I enjoyed the connections to artificial intelligence and was surprised by the twists and turns of the plot. Time to choose a new novel. Any suggestions?

Concrete poems are words written in a shape to convey a poem. They look like this: Recently I went on a mission to search for a site to use with a fellow colleague and her students. They wanted to make concrete poetry on their Chromebooks. There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click and drag f
