Happy Monday everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend!
Along with our great teachers sharing awesome ways to utilize technology in the classroom, I will try to provide some various resources each week as well.
Alice Keeler has a great resource for Google Classroom. This link provides ideas for how to utilize Google Classroom in several ways!!!!👍
This week some teachers used GSuite apps, Screencastify, Kahoot, and Hoopla. Google Slides, Forms, Drawings and Docs were all utilized for different classrooms. Kahoot (a fan favorite for fun assessments!), Hoopla (an ebook site that is accessible with a library card), and Room Sketcher (roomsketcher.com) for designing a room.
Mrs. Rogers uses Google Forms & Slides for "Bell Ringers" in her reading class. She has students fill out a form or has a slide presentation with everyone having access to provide input, thoughts, analysis, etc.
Mrs. Swales had her students use Google Drawings to create a template to track text evidence and analysis while reading their novel. This allowed for connections to be made and questions to be answered. This picture is just of one student's template. Students were able to use the many features that Google Drawings has available.
Mrs. Swales also uses Hoopla in her class so students have access to ebooks to read for leisure or accelerated reader points. In order to use Hoopla's site, you must have a local library card to access the ebooks.
Mrs. Brown's math class was completing a Kahoot when I came into her classroom, and they were competitive and having fun at the same time! The Kahoot was a review of that day's lesson. It was really neat to see how they had paper and pencil on the side so they could work the problems out to get the correct answer. To say they were excited to see that they were correct and they were in the top 5 overall points leaders, would be an understatement! 😂😂
Mrs. Brooks's choir groups use Screencastify to assist with seeing their performance and breaking down that performance. This picture shows a video replay and students are watching this video to critique themselves to be better for their final performance. 👌
Mrs. Radcliffe's science classes used roomsketcher.com to create a "middle school dorm" room for their "Design a building" unit. Students were able to quite a few things within this site which made the creativity stand-out even more. Here are some student samples of their "middle school dorm".
Teachers, thank you for sharing those technology integrated lessons with us! These could very well spark some thoughts into something special for our classrooms and students. I hope all of you have a fantastic week!
