Playlist Creation
By giving students relevant learning activities and letting them choose which works best for them based on preference, learning style, and individual goals, students are motivated to take control of their own learning. Learn the “whys and hows” of playlist creation.
HyperDocs
HyperDocs, a transformative, interactive Google Doc replacing the worksheet method of delivering instruction, is the ultimate change agent in the blended learning classroom. With strong educational philosophies built into each one, HyperDocs have the potential to shift the way you instruct with technology. They are created by teachers and given to students to engage, educate, and inspire learning. It’s not about teaching technology, it’s about using the technology to TEACH.
Formative Assessment
A formative assessment or assignment is a tool teachers use to give feedback to students and/or guide their instruction. Learn how to create assessments using Google tools and more.
Website Design
Websites are good for providing a static resource of information, frequent updates and communication, and collaborating on the creation of a reference site, among other things. Learn how to create your own class site.
Creating Videos/Screencastify
Classroom video projects teach students to plan, organize, write, communicate, collaborate, and analyze. In fact, video has become so prolific that some colleges even include video submissions as part of their application process. As this media further matures, students may need to be able to express themselves as effectively through moving imagery as with the written word.
Digital Citizenship
Digital Citizenship is more than just a teaching tool; it is a way to prepare students/technology users for a society full of technology.
