Welcome back for another great edition of #dcsdtransforms: the best 10 minute edtech conversation you'll hear all week!  This week, we have a shout out going to Chenethia Brown at DMS, and we are also highlighting an update to Google Slides that allows for live closed captioning as you present!  Cool stuff!  Thanks for listening!

Hey Loyal Listeners!  We are back with our first "NORMAL" episode of the 2018-19 school year!  For this episode, we are highlighting a behavior management tool called "Too Noisy".  Our shoutout this week goes to David Graham, a music teacher at Rosenwald and Pate Elementary.  And please don't mind the squeaky door as we were in recording studio 5 this week, also known as the DCSD Curriculum and Instruction Headquarters.  We also have a VERY special guest with us this week, so be sure to tune and listen!

Hello Loyal Listeners!  This week is some important information about the technology we use "on the reg" (that means "regularly" for all you non-hip teachers) in our classrooms.  There is lots of good info and tips in here of which you should be aware.  Please take some time to listen.  If you are a loyal listener outside of DCSD, please know that this whole episode is really geared towards what we do in DCSD.  We'd love to have you listen, but understand if it is not applicable (you can still feel free to click on the episode and let it play to boost our statistics - haha!).  Also, we want to offer our thoughts and prayers to those affected by Hurricane Florence.  It ravaged our area, not with wind, but with water.  So many have lost everything, and some of our school districts throughout the Pee Dee and Lowcountry of South Carolina are still not operational as of the airing of this episode.

Loyal Listerners!  Guess what?  We are bringing our 2018 Digital Transformation Conference to you via this podcast! We ran our 4th annual conference and it was HUGE!  We had over 700 people in attendance - unbelievable!  Thank you to all the DCSD faculty and staff that gave up one last day of summer break to spend some time learning ways of transforming your classroom.  It was super successful, and that is because of the attendance, the hard work of the committee, and the incredible presenters we had this year!  So much fun!  In this episode, we are going to bring you some of our thoughts about it, some highlights from the conference, and you'll get to hear some reactions from participants.  It is a long episode, so if you want to skip to the part where participants share their thoughts, then start listening at the 19-minute mark.  Hope you enjoy it!  Next week we'll return to our regularly scheduled programming with much shorter, 10-minute episodes.  Until then, have a great week!

Hey Loyal Listeners!  We are back with our first episode of season 4 for us!  In this episode, Carla and Rhett are going to talk about our experience at ISTE 2018 in Chicago.  It was INCREDIBLE!  And what's even better is that Darlington County School District CRUSHED IT!  In 3 years of attendance, we have gone from an observer to a big force at ISTE.  We had some incredible involvement this year.  Please listen to find out how all we were involved and to hear Carla and Rhett share their biggest takeaways from this year's conference.  As a bonus, after the show you can hear the presentation Carla and Rhett delivered on podcasting at ISTE!

Hello Everyone and thank you for joining us this week.  This episode is going to focus on finishing the year in DCSD with your technology - everything from backing up, to getting our new equipment, to closing up your room before you leave for break.  Please take the time to listen to the information we share in here about these topics.  Sadly, this is our season 3 finale.  We will probably have an episode or two from the summer events such as ISTE 2018 in Chicago, but other than that, this is it for this school year.  From all of us (that would be Carla and Rhett) at #dcsdtransforms, we hope you have had a FANTASTIC school year.  And we are grateful you tuned in to listen to us this past school year! We will see you in August for the 2018-19 school year!  Take care!

Welcome back for this VERY special edition of #dcsdtransforms.  This week, we are running a little longer than usual, but when you listen, you'll understand why.  We have so many amazing things happening in DCSD, and we wanted to highlight them.  Often we miss the big picture when we get bogged down in the details of day to day "teachering".  We don't see what is happening on a bigger scale.  So this week we are going to try to bring some of that to you.  I think you'll be genuinely impressed with how far along we have come this year.  And all of that success is thanks to great leadership, wonderful support staff, but most importantly, the teachers of DCSD who make it all possible!  From all of us at #dcsdtransforms, THANK YOU for making this podcast so much fun to make because of the incredible things YOU are doing in the classroom!  Cheers!

Hey everyone!  Welcome back to a fabulous episode of #dcsdtransforms!  This week we are shedding light on Google's FREE curriculum called "Applied Digital Skills".  You really won't want to miss out on it because there is something for everyone in it.  Well worth your time to listen and then go check it out.  Our shoutout this week goes to the second grade team and North Hartsville Elementary School for their work integrating technology to help students learn about the role of consumers and advertisements in our economy - very cool what they had these little ones doing, so please check it out!  Thanks for listening this week!
