Teachers,
It’s your last chance to check out professional development books for summer break before everything is boxed up. I begin boxing PD books Friday morning for the move on Monday! Just let the library staff know you want them over the summer when you are checking them out so we can change the due dates to August. Thanks!

Grade 10 students… please note that the Upstairs Cafeteria is no longer available to you during break and lunchtimes this year. The space is going to be used for the library whilst the Hub construction takes place.
You have the Music room, gym, Library and downstairs cafeteria as places to go instead.
Thanks for your flexibility,

Using Turnitin to analyse the chances of student work being AI generated.
Todays Tech tip explores a well-known tool, Turnitin.
With the arrival of AI based tools like ChatGPT and POE that can generate human-like text based documents, a tool for analysing student submissions is very helpful for teachers who seek to analyse the chances of student work being AI generated.
In response to this need, Turnitin which already available within Managebac, has added this feature to their product. An Ed-Tech support guide document has been created that goes through the details of how to setup and use Turnitin for this purpose. It is located here.
In summary, the steps are as follows.
Remember however, that this is NOT definitive, and the chances for false positives definitely exist. It is however a tool that can be used to give you the opportunity to have further discussions with students around how they created their submission based on the results that are presented by Turnitin.
That’s it for today’s Tech Tip. See you again next Tuesday.
(Special Thanks to Cheryl for her assistance putting this weeks Tip together)

Hello Secondary Students –
Your Student Council needs your feedback on how we can make the most of Office Hours. During Advisory today, Monday, June 5, please complete your grade level survey and share your feedback on how we can best promote and improve student office hours for next school year, 2023-24. Thank you for your constructive feedback!
If you have any questions please contact Hesh in Grade 11 (Wangtong Wu <wangtongwu@students.nanjing-school.com>)
If you or your teaching spaces have any needs such as furniture, teaching materials, hands on learning aids, accessibility assistance, etc. please let me know in the survey link below. This is a great opportunity for students to meet with teachers or your students to put design thinking into practice through a few meetings to collect data, and then follow-up evaluations. Through this both groups build communication skills.
Some examples of possible products:
– KG outdoor mud kitchen
– Indoor rainy day games
– Quiet reading nook
– Book storage/display
You know your space and needs best. We’d love to work with you and your students to custom-design a solution.
At this stage I’m collecting ideas, so if you put something down there is no obligation to go ahead with it.
