Instructional Updates











The below message is posted to the NCWiseOwl website.
EBSCO databases are returning to operation with some intermittent issues. You may also utilize this alternative link if you find issues with the regular links from this site.Your continued patience is appreciated as work continues to resolve issues.

We will continue to keep you updated both via this blog and on the website.  Please pass this along to your users.

NOTE: At the district level we don't have any funds for subs but wanted to let you know about this opportunity just in case you could work it out.

North Carolina Teachers and Instructional Support Staff,
Have you heard about the NC open educational resources initiative? Open educational resources (OER) are resources for students and teachers that are licensed to permit users to reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute the content. Imagine a space where a community of North Carolina educators can come together to curate, create, and share OER! That’s what GoOpenNC is all about!
GoOpenNC is the name of the OER initiative here in North Carolina, and it’s also the name of the platform where NC educators can become part of this OER community of practice as they find, develop, and share instructional materials. The platform will be available for all teachers in late December / early January, but you have an opportunity to join the community now!  
Register to attend one of the four face-to-face sessions taking place across the state in October. You are encouraged to partner with others from your district or school to attend as a team.
These sessions are designed for classroom teachers, instructional technology facilitators, school library media coordinators, instructional coaches, and other instructional support staff.

During this session, participants will
  • Learn about open educational resources & open licensing
  • Explore and engage with the GoOpenNC platform
  • Discuss the definition of “quality” & apply knowledge to OER
  • Develop a plan for sharing and using OER 
Space is limited, so be sure to register soon! 
Dates and locations:
  • October 9 - Wilkes County Schools Stone Center, 613 Cherry St, North Wilkesboro, NC 28659
  • October 10 - Rowan-Salisbury Schools Wallace Ed Forum, 500 N Main St, Salisbury, NC 28144
  • October 11 - Edgecombe County Public Schools Technology Center, 412 Pearl Street, Tarboro, NC 27886
  • October 22 - Wayne County Schools PD & Family Engagement Center, 415 S. Virginia St., Goldsboro, NC 27530

Each session will start at 9:00 AM and end by 4:00 PM. Lunch will be on your own. Additional details will be provided via email prior to the event.

PLEASE share with Math teachers: Kuta Software Update

Share with Math Teachers

The CIA department has renewed the purchase of the updated version of Kuta Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Precalculus and Calculus for all the high schools. Middle schools get Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1. Our department has already deployed the software out to the workstations in the site Kuta Software security group in Active Directory. The new shortcuts have also been created under the "Teaches Menu>Kuta Infinite" folder. When they launch the software for the first time it will ask them to activate it, they just need to click through the activation steps and finally click finish. It will prompt the user to input the room location, they can leave this blank. They will not need a code to get started.  If you have a teacher who needs the software and they don't see the icon, please have them submit a ticket including their computer name into IT Direct.
