Happy New Year!
Welcome to 2020, #ButteCOE educators! We hope that you've had a refreshing and relaxing Winter Break, and are ready to spice things up in the new year!
#OneWord2020 - What's Your Mantra?
Here are some ideas to get you and your students started:
* Check out the #OneWord2020 hashtag on Twitter for examples of others' chosen words.
* Use Seesaw, Adobe Spark, or Google Drawings to create a graphic depicting your chosen word.
* Create #OneWord written descriptions and add artwork or images to a collaborative gallery, like Padlet.
* Modify this Flipgrid activity to create a short #OneWord video explaining your 2020 choice.
* Use Meredith Akers One Word Collaborative Slides Activity with your students.
