New! Digital Signage Solution from MyVRSpot
Do your schools have TVs in the halls and common areas that could be used for digital signs? We’ve released our newest solution, SmartSigns. This solution allows an administrator to quickly and easily add media (videos and images) to their digital signs. You can also create custom modes, controlling which media plays during specific events. Visit our SmartSigns page here to:
Did You Know? Did you know that we provide you reports on all of your media activity? 
Did you know you have data on all of your media’s activity? We’ve been tracking the views and other variables this entire time. Find this valuable information with these steps:
Note, if “NA” appears instead of a name, that means they do not have an account with MyVRSpot or did not view the content while logged into MyVRSpot.
Curriculum Corner It’s no surprise that educators battle for the attention of tech-willed students and parents. Lay your weapons down, because we have solutions. 
In each monthly newsletter, look forward to our Curriculum Corner. We will provide creative ways to integrate MyVRSpot solutions to help engage your students and community. History with MediaSpot Make a classroom MediaSpot project at the end of a unit to reflect. Insert the media with the students' submitted audio and or video of their response to the prompt, “I used to think..., now I think...” about the unit. Foreign Language with the Recorder Feature Using MyVRSpot’s Video Recorder tool is a great way to support teaching of a foreign language. Ask a question in the subject language. Have students use the “Recorder” button in MyVRSpot to reply with their answer in that language. You’ll find students practice their accents, apply verb conjugations, and use a wider variety of vocabulary. School Pride with Video Showcase Make a Video Showcase telling your website visitors why your school is outstanding. Add videos from teachers, parents, students and staff every week. Share Your Success Send us your success stories, ideas, lesson plans or other brag-worthy material that you would like to have featured in one of our future newsletters.
