Free Activities from the Illustoria Archives
Terrific news! Illustoria recently released a free digital download of favorite activities from Issues 1–5 for you to enjoy! This 42-page collection showcases DIYs and activities from out-of-print issues that we’re so thrilled to revisit and bring back to life. Whether you are needing a break from the kids (these pages can keep them occupied for hours!) or looking for more inspiration for activities to engage in together, we hope to offer some joyful distraction.

Tip of the Day
Let your students give presentations and give them live feedback, without the need to solely rely on the video feed. By copying and pasting evaluation templates in each private comment before the presentation, you can communicate in real time.
This lets your student see how they're doing live, but it also means you have marked the work as it happens rather than having to go through all the presentations afterward to give marks. By including features such as star and wish emojis, success criteria and overall evaluation, you can easily provide the feedback as you go.
