#TechTipTuesday - Clearing up those ads.

I've recently found myself inundated with ads while viewing websites on my phone. It never seemed as frustrating as this before. A quick bit of research and I've discovered the app Focus from Forefox (yup remember those guys?)

Focus by Firefox - content blocking & tracking protection for your mobile browser by Mozilla
https://appsto.re/us/zUf7-.i

I've been using the app for a little less than a week now. It's super easy to setup and it does a great job of blocking the "extras" webpages always want to throw at you. 

Give it a try and see if you can tell the difference. 

Stay tuned, and stay connected.

This Week in the #HxTech Center

We started our week off with some
Live music.

Streamed the announcements live from our Choir room with a musical intro 

258 7th graders came through coding a Frogger like game.

Some didn't want to code, so we let them hangout and chat quietly #studentchoice (A whole day can be tough for those not interested)

GFA edited their projected they recorded last week.

And began a new short film

Then the 8th grade got a day to code. This group explored coding through Minecraft.

And our iReporters and iProduction crew produced their 12th episode. Enjoy
