September 2022 | MyVRSpot Newsletters

September is here and with it comes a fresh start - the new school year! Read on to find out about our new feature: Media Badging; learn how to harness the power of SmartSpot; and get inspired by our instructional examples! We've also included an introduction to our newest team member, information on where to find us as we travel the country, and how you can access training and professional development. From all of us here at MyVRSpot, we wish you the best of luck as you enter another new school year! 

 

New Feature: Media Badging

We are so excited to be releasing our new micro-credentialing tool, more commonly referred to as "badges". When enabled for your district, administrators and teachers alike are able to create and then grant badges to those that have completed specific tasks. These badges can act as awards or proof of completion for viewing certain media or a collection of media. Whether you are an Administrator looking for an innovative solution for professional development, or a teacher trying to provide a little incentive to make sure all of your media is being viewed by your students, badging is a great way to go! The badging system will appear in the new Administrative Tools section at the top of the screen if enabled for your district.

ParentSquare Partners with MyVRSpot

MyVRSpot is excited to announce its new partnership and system integration with ParentSquare. If your district is a ParentSquare customer, this new integration will allow you to easily add any of the videos from your MyVRSpot account directly into a ParentSquare post.  Whether you are an administrator looking to share a video message with all the parents in your district, or a teacher wanting to share a video with the parents of a particular class, sharing video through ParentSquare has never been easier. Call or email our support team today to have this integration activated for your district.

Update to the Live Broadcasting Player

If you use the MyVRSpot Live Broadcasting service, you may have noticed a change in the autoplay of streams recently. Due to new browser restrictions that block the autoplay of video, the MyVRSpot development team has turned off the autoplay of live streams. Users will need to press the play button to begin the stream with audio. While you can still edit your channel and turn autoplay back on, you’ll notice a caveat that your stream will be muted. Providing this work around is one way we are continuing to serve the needs of our customers, while adhering to new restrictions released by the most popular browsers. Please reach out to Support if you have any further questions!

 

Instructional Inspiration

If you're feeling overwhelmed with the hustle and bustle of the new school year, let MyVRSpot help! The following projects and activities are sure to inspire you as you plan your lessons. First, take a look at our Virtual Open House MediaSpot Project. Many parents appreciate a virtual option for back to school events to accommodate their busy schedules. Secondly, take a look at our Fire Safety SmartSpot Quiz and Constitution Day VRS Assignment, both relevant to the month of September. Finally, we've got a Student Introduction MediaSpot Project, which is an excellent way to get to know your students and to build a classroom community.
