Task Cards
Task Cards are a great way to practice skills and provide enrichment. As opposed to worksheets, task cards can be used over and over again! Kirsten Tulsian gives her top 10 ways to use task cards in the classroom on her blog. Her "Scoot" activity would be a fun way to get kids moving and thinking! Tony Vincent offers some great tips for creating digital task cards and audio task cards. Google Slides, Chatterpix, and Vocaroo (mentioned in past Friday Feeds) all get shout-outs. Word to the wise: If you use Vocaroo for audio directions, remember it doesn't store files permanently. You can back them up to your Google Drive or Dropbox for safe keeping.
