Welcome and Thanks for Clicking!
This Month's Topics:
Digital Citizenship in the Classroom: Cyberbullying
This year I'd like to focus more on Digital Citizenship by sharing resources with you to use in your classroom. This month's focus is on Cyberbullying.
I'm linking an excellent resource for Cyberbullying posters HERE. Feel free to print these and hang in your classroom as you see fit.
I'm also including links to Nearpod lessons on the topic. These would be great to use on early release days, or days when the schedule shifts a little.
Digital Citizenship Nearpod Lessons Linked Below:
**Remember, you can always edit Nearpod lessons to fit your needs!**
Above (orange box), I have linked an excellent article on Successful Blended Learning. Below, I've provided you with graphics that pair Bloom's Taxonomy with integrated technology.
I would love to help your lessons become more about the Why, as well as help you become more comfortable integrating technology into them. Book me for a meeting and let's get started!
Congratualtions!
