G-Suite Tip of the Week:
What is a GIF? Well it is basic a computer image that moves! It is usally like a "movie with no sound". You could use a GIF in the classroom to:
- Creating Stop Motion Animation with Google Slides - Resource link
- Creating Online Comic Strips with Google Slides - Resource link
- Student Created Storybooks with Google Slides - Resource link
- Or just saving any slideshow as a GIF!
Great for review of vocabulary or facts!
App/Website of the week:
Want to reinforce learning by having students quiz themselves or engage students by having them cooperate or compete with each other through digital learning games? This is the site for you.
It is so easy to get started!
- Choose a template for a game
- Enter your content
- Decide on your answer choices
- Engage the students by allowing them to play as often as they would like
