Supporting 21st Century Classrooms in La Canada
...And We're Back!
In this issue, we'll see a number of new ways to use Google Slides. Slides is the most versatile of the Google apps--and it's not just for making slide presentations. Scroll down to see how Pam Watts is using the tool with her 2nd graders, and see some new tools, templates, and lesson ideas that you can use TODAY.
Also in this issue: new apps for NGSS, writing, coding, and "9 Great Documentaries for the Middle School Classroom."
As always, please contact David Paszkiewicz if you'd like some help bringing your vision to life in your classroom. I take my work on the road: you may see me plugging away on my computer in your staff lounge, and I love it when we can meet up and talk shop. If I'm not in a classroom, I'm all yours for an impromptu collaboration or conversation.
Here are the days when I work from your school (but I'm available to help you any day):
Monday: PCR
Tuesday: LCE
Weds/Thurs: LCHS 7/8
Fri: PCY
