Great resources for Chromebooks in elementary
Kathy Schrock's Guide to Everything website has a great list of resources for using Chromebooks in the Classroom. (Schrock is a frequent conference presenter on educational technology resources.) Among the many resources is a Google Slide presentation on using Chromebooks in the elementary classroom to inspire and differentiate in language arts, math, science and social studies. Embedded in the slides are links to tutorials on teaching our youngest students to use Chromebooks and lots of great websites to enable our students to read, explore, create and learn.
Changes to Google Calendar
If you are a Google Calendar user, you may have noticed that your calendar looks a little different. Here's a quick three-minute overview to help you in navigating the new interface. If you are thinking about using Google Calendar in 2018, this video is a great place to start.Blabberize
Looking for a fun way for your students to demonstrate learning? Blabberize may be just the tool. Students upload a picture, use the tools on the site to outline a mouth, and record sound. Imagine a sedimentary rock explaining its provenance, George Washington telling the story of Valley Forge, or a character in a story explaining his/her motivation for acting in a particular way. The possibilities are endless!Edivate Video Spotlight
