WHS Library, Chrome, and Canvas Corner

Follow the WHS Tech page:  Navigating keyboards, applications, and menus can be daunting.  Ever thought a cheatsheet might help?   Check out the newest WHS Library Resource (ever-updated, so check back regulary):  Tech Cheatsheets.  Easy visual reference sheets for our GoogleApp Suite, Chromebooks, and more. To learn about this resource go to: http://bit.ly/whstechsheet .    Or, check out our website for information about useful apps to enhance your Chromebook: http://bit.ly/whsfutureready.


Canvas: Many students at Westview have a research project they are working on over spring break.  Though we walked through where and how to find our WHS Library Resources, in case they need a reminder have them navigate to: http://bit.ly/whscanvas   


and select WHS Library on the side.  Remember, passwords for at home use are at the bottom of the page.





Digital Citizenship tip of the week:  Spring break is upon us, and many like to use the opportunity to share a movie with their family.  If that sounds like a good idea, but you aren’t sure which movie in the theater (or otherwise) will suit the needs of your family, check out the Common Sense Media movie review page:  http://bit.ly/CSMmovies
