Digital Valentine's Projects
Valentine's Day is quickly approaching! Here are a few ideas on how you can celebrate love with your students:
- Create a Google Slide postcard project. These can be shared with parents. The students will write all the things they love about their family. Teach slide editing skills such as: inserting clip art, using different formats, and working text boxes. This is a great time to review how to safely email links to the parents. Template can be found here.
- Visual Poetry- This is a paid app. You can request a code through your tech coach. Students create a list of words to describe their love for someone in their family. This creates a Wordle. Video for explanation.
App Give Away!
Be one of the first 15 teachers to email your tech coach to receive a code for GoldieBlox Coding App, The Rocket Cupcake Co.!!! Act now while supplies last.
