November Technology Tips
During our November meeting we shared Technology Tips that can be used in your classroom. You will find the link to the Google Slides that we used to present. One big app that was a hit was the GRO app. This is a paid app ($10) and is used for planning guided reading lessons. It allows you to make groups with student pictures and track the progress the student makes.
Here is the link to the Google Slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13KSXZMhYPy3nseL_ATTFNN5XAwZpKzGZBpWdIQpGB9Y/edit?usp=sharing
