Organized Desktop Wallpaper Designs



I have gotten a lot of questions lately about the Organized Desktop Wallpaper on my work laptop. I made it in Canva a few years ago. I recently changed the colors to match better with my school counseling office decor. 



I use the Organized Desktop Wallpaper to sort my files and folders on my desktop. I labeled each of the sticky notes with categories I use most often. The first sticky is a list of all the monthly PBIS themes for the year. I am often referring to this, so it is nice to always have it on my desktop. 

If you want a copy of these Organized Desktop Wallpapers, there are two ways you can get it.

1.  The first way is to make a copy of the original file I created in Canva. You can click the link or the image below.


This method allows you to save a copy and edit the item to meet your needs using the Canva platform. There are tons of fun options and it is pretty easy to use! It is also free! 

I absolutely love Canva and use it daily to make digital designs. Canva also has a free educator account that you can sign up for which gives you access to even more features.

2.  The second way you can get a copy of the Organized Desktop Wallpapers is through Google Drive. I created a Google slide with the desktop wallpaper images in it that you can edit in Google Drive.  You can change the fonts and titles of the sticky notes to meet your needs. You will need to make a copy of the Organized Desktop Wallpaper Google Slide to be able to edit it.

Whichever method you use. You will need to save the selected desktop background as a file to make it your desktop background.


If you prefer to watch a video, I also made a Screencastify to explain each method. Side note it was so easy to use Screencastify and I will definitely be using it again!

Having an Organized Desktop Background helps me keep my desktop clean and easily access the files I need. 

I hope this video and the descriptions above are helpful. 

If you add it to your own computer let me know! 

I love connecting and sharing with other school counselors. Connect with me on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Take What You Need, Give What You Can Sticky Note Board

Image
Last year, I saw a lot of "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" Bulletin Boards popping up everywhere. I decided to fuel my new found love of printing on sticky notes and make a sticky note version. The idea behind the "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" board is that you take a positive message that you "need" to hear or "give" (write) a positive or uplifting message for someone else to take. I displayed the "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" sticky note board on a window near the school counseling office. A traditional bulletin board could also be used to display this sticky note board.  I created 18 different positve messages to print on sticky notes for the "Take What You Need" side of the board. To make this "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" sticky note board, you will need the following items: A printer Printer paper to print the sticky

Spring Mindfulness Bulletin Board with QR Codes

Image
I created this colorful, interactive, spring bulletin board for our March & April PBIS theme, mindfulness. I made this bulletin board interactive for students by adding QR Codes with different mindfulness activities. Since most things need to be touch-less right now, I thought using QR Codes would be an easy way for students to access some mindfulness activities. If you are not familiar with QR Codes, QR stands for Quick Response. QR Codes are scannable with a smart device camera (iPad, tablet, or smart phone). you can easily make your own QR codes by using a QR Code generator. You can link the QR Code to a website or online document. When the user scans the QR Code they will be directed to the link. I used  QR Code Generator  to create the QR Codes.  I got the idea for this bulletin board while looking for mindfulness resources. I stumbled upon a New York Times article about "Pinwheel Breathing." This sent me down a rabbit hole of brainstorming a

FREE Career Interest Games and Inventories on VA Career View

I have been searching for fun and interactive career activities to facilitate with students this year. I rediscovered  Virginia Career View , which has a wealth of computer based and printable career activities. I have used this website many times, but each time I visit I am surprised by how truly awesome this site is. In the K-5 Section of  Virginia Career View  there is an interactive game called  Career Town ! I used the  Career Town  game with some 5th grade students last year and they loved it. Career Town has three levels with different games to learn about jobs on each level.  The  Career Town  has an educators guide  for each "level' of the game. The  educators guide  has ideas of how you can utilize the game to meet standards and includes ideas for extension activities.  In the 6-8 Grade section, there is a career cluster assessment activity called "Who R U?" . It is web-based. The Virginia Career View website also has printable resources tho
