What success stories can you share? Please let us know! (and we may find some of you on Twitter.)
Have You Checked out the New Indiana eLearning Lab?
You can create a profile and join different communities, including one for grade 6-8 educators (reminiscent of the Learning Connection that DOE had for several years.)
What Happens in a 2020 Internet Minute?
- What surprises you most about this chart?
- How many of these tools have you used?
- Which of these do you think will increase?
- You could even make up some math questions, such as, "If 404,444 hours of Netflix are streamed every minute, on average, how many people are on Netflix then?"
When Ed Campos posted this strategy below, several other teachers shared their versions, including these from Angelina Murphy and Shana Ramin, who links to a template. You can link to the original tweet from Ed with links here.
