Do you want to watch the YouTube or not......

  There is so much content out there.... would it not be nice to see a brief summary of a YouTube video before you watch it?   Seeing a brief summary would allow you to streamline your time to watch only what you are looking for. The Chromebook extension YouTube Summary allows you to do that! It works with ChatGPT to provide a summarized version of the YouTube video in bullet points. Download your Chromebook extension today and try it out! Rebecca Minerd

  The  latest feature that our county added to Go Guadian is the ability to  "Call a student " .  When you are on the tab where you would message them, there is a call button.  It has just recently been activated.  When you push the call button the student has the option to answer.  This allows you to a verbally speak to a student in a meet individually intead of having to type in the Go Guardian chat box.  You can still see the other students because you didn't leave to go to a break out room.  You just have to mute yourself on the meet, so the other students don't hear your individual conversation.  You can even share your screen to show something in that call.    Great addition and very helpful!
