Let’s be honest: technology moves fast, and it can be tough to keep up. That’s why Central Rivers AEA and Keystone AEA teamed up to create the Staff Tech Hub – your go-to cheat sheet for all things digital! Think of it as your monthly “tech upgrade.” We update this resource every month with simple, practical ideas to save you time and boost your confidence.
What’s the latest for this month’s tips?
Assistive Tech: This month, we are focusing on how digital tools like calendars and task managers can act as an external brain to help students and staff stay organized, manage time and focus on their most important work.
Artificial Intelligence: This month, we are exploring how AI can act as a helpful assistant to handle time-consuming tasks like drafting emails, summarizing long documents, and organizing notes, giving you more time to focus on supporting students and families.
Practical tech tips: This month, we are sharing how you can use Google’s built-in mail merge to turn a simple spreadsheet into personalized emails, allowing you to connect authentically with parents and partners without the time-consuming task of writing each message individually.
The goal isn’t just to give you more tools, it’s to make your daily work easier and more impactful. Ready for more? Head over to the Staff Tech Hub to see the full list of tips and tricks for February! Reach out to Tiffanie Zaugg, Assistive Technology/AI Specialist, with questions.
