Securly Parent Portal

ACPS has purchased a new program called Securly Parent Portal that allows parents to monitor their child’s online activity outside of school. Parents will be getting a letter explaining this new program in the mail this week. Follow-up emails will be sent on November 26th which will include username and password information. There are no necessary actions on your part but we wanted to let you know about it in case parents or students mention it to you. If you are interested in knowing more please visit: https://www.acps.k12.va.us/Page/2355

TourBuilder with Google

TourBuilder with Google is a great digital tool for students to create their own virtual field trip. Students use their ACPS Google account to login. They can then select locations from around the world (Versailles, Himalayas, Cuba, etc). TourBuilder will open the location in Google Earth and mark it. Students can then add still images or video as well as text about that location. This is a great tool for helping students develop geographical sense and visualization skills.
