G-Suite Tip of the week:
Google Slides can be used as a template through Google Classroom. All student are given the same "starting point" and they can customize each slide to make it their own. Just choose "Make a Copy for Each Student".
Here are some great templates to get you started:
Decorate your Gingerbread House
Instagram Stories with Google Slides
Disquise yourself and get into Santa's Workshop

App/Website of the week:
CONTROL ALT ACHIEVE
Control Alt Achieve is a great resource for teachers with 100's of transformational technology ideas. You can follow the daily blog or search archived resources. It is my favorite place to get resources, and Eric Curts is a great person to follow on Twitter. @ericcurtsHere is one of his recent recommendations:
This site is a simple but fun way to make random story ideas. Simply click the "Shuffle" button to get a new random prompt including "Character", "Situation", "Prop", and "Setting" (which will display as an image).
He also has provided us with 6 Googley Winter Activities:)
