August 29, 2017
Collaboration - Better together!
Now their parents can see the learning that takes place in the classroom that can't be sent home on a piece of paper! I know many of you already use Seesaw, but if not, it is an easy to use student portfolios in your classroom - I briefly highlighted Seesaw in last week's Tech Newsletter. If you missed it, check out Seesaw on the ECS Tech Resources website.
Do you want help setting up your Google Classroom & using it with your students?
Google Classroom Training Form
The training would be tailored to fit the needs of the teachers requesting help, with options of hands-on/face-to-face or virtual, self-paced trainings.
Looking for a simple formative assessment tool?
- Go to http://www.plickers.com and create an account.
- Set up a class quickly by copying and pasting your roster into the "Add Roster" option.
- Plickers will automatically assign each student a card to track their data.
- Download the free Plickers app onto a mobile device to be able to "scan" the students' answers for a quick formative assessment.
- Each class can have 63 students with unique cards to collect data.
Has anyone tried and liked Plickers? - Post feedback.
If you are interested in trying Plickers - the cards are free to print off the Plickers site - you can print them on card stock for durability, but Plickers has sent me a couple sets of student cards, if you are interested, contact me for a set of Plickers cards.
Also, I would love to come to your classroom and model using Plickers with your students as a great formative assessment tool.
