CLX Digital Lead Teacher Newsletter
April/May 2017
Thank you for a great EdcampAVL!
Shout out to Katie, Becca and Amy for coming to EdcampAVL on Saturday, April 22! Educators discussed everything from makerspaces to practicing mindfulness in the classroom and made connected with teachers from NC, Tennessee and Kentucky! Learn more about why Edutopia thinks Edcamps are awesome and then hop over to the EdcampAVL website to see our collaborative notes or check out #edcampavl on Twitter to see what took place. We have received such positive feedback that we are planning to do this again summer 2018!

Ditch that Textbook thanks to Google!
I know it's the end of the year, but file this away for something you may want to try for the next research project!
Knowledge is Power.
- Big History Project: For culturally responsive classrooms in upper grades, this is a great resource for getting different perspectives in the world. Pretty amazing.
- Edpuzzle! Imagine you can pause a YouTube video and create a digital question to check comprehension. You can totes do that with Edpuzzle AND IT'S FREE! What?!
- Getting Started with Google Expeditions and Virtual Reality: Good intro to virtual reality and what it could look like in your classroom. We have headsets and access to a ACS smart phones for you to borrow!
- Our CLX Racial Equity Team and CLX HiVE have their own website made through the new Google Sites platform. This is a great way to make your own website and is super easy to use!
- ACS Digital Learning Toolbox: DLTs have worked hard to pull together a site that lists digital tools we use in the district. Check it out!
