This collaboration is such great news!!!!! – at Arlington, VA
This is what many of you have been waiting for @APSVirginia educators!!! Read about Google Assignments, an add-on LTI app, that gives educators a faster, simpler way to distribute, analyze, and grade student work through the collaborative power of G Suite.

We appreciate your support @CarolEzzelle! ❤️ #14DaysNoNewCases – at Arlington, VA
We just selected full-time distance learning for our son for the 2020-21 school year because we know we can make it work, and we hope to reduce coronavirus risk to teachers, family members, and the wider community. #14daysnonewcases @APSVirginia

Look at what a student created in #codingclub today! He programmed the speed of the @Sphero bolt so that it would travel through the tube and up the ramp. He went on to code it through more obstacles and created an LED light show! @SpheroEdu @Fleet_ITC @APS_FleetES
