A Little More Time with Google Slides

More w/ Notebook Features 

I really enjoyed the notebook features I used in my Basic Football Interactive Activity. Its simple and fun for kids to use. It was the perfect Google Slide activity to use for introducing the game of football to kids before going outside and teaching them the sport on the field. 

Activities like this shouldn't be to long, so I decided to add one more slide to my presentation. I decided to add in a sticky notes slide activity. 

I choose this activity because it's a great way to see what students have learned from the presentation, by giving them the opportunity to type in their thoughts and make connections. 

I built this activity with the idea of students making connections. The presentations presented the students with a lot of information about football. I want to see what they felt was the most important information and the connections they can make. 

Using the sticky notes allow teachers to see what the students know. It also helps students retain the knowledge they just gained from the presentation. I made this my final slide so that the students could put down the information they just leaned. This will help them remember the lesson, and give them something to go back and study from. 

My recommendation for using this kind of activity would be to use it when introducing a new lesson. This Google Slide activity will help the teacher gain an understanding of what the students already know and dont know. Using the drag and drop helps with keeping this activity fun and interactive.

Learning From Home Challenge Part 3

More with IXL Last week I took a look at using IXL as an online learning tool for students while at home. This week, I decided to dive a little deeper into this online resource, by taking a look at the tool through the eyes of a teacher buddy who is currently using it for his Algebra I classes.  Andrew Rhoman is an Algebra I teacher at  Tallwood High School  in Virginia Beach, Va. I had the pleasure of working with him during my 3 years as a Special Education teacher at Tallwood.  Around this time of the school year, Mr. Rhoman likes to revisit old material to help prep his students for the SOL (he couldnt really give me specifics on what the SOL situation is looking like right now). He prefers to use IXL to help prepare his students for the Algebra I SOL test.   So how does he do this? Each day, Mr. Rhoman assigns his students a different  IXL skill to practice. On Google Classroom he will post the skill that he wants the students to c...

Screen Capturing & Video Messaging

FYI - I am currently using a loaner computer due to my regular computer shutting down on me. While making my video, I discovered that the microphone on this loaner computer is busted. I apologized for this. I have to contact the Help Desk Monday morning to see if i can get another loaner computer sent to me. Screencastif y is a pretty cool tool to use for video messages. It's quick and easy to use. It is very Google friendly, which makes it easy for users to upload their videos straight to Google Classroom. Screen capturing tools could easily be the most effective support tool for teaching and learning during this time of online learning - in my opinion. Students learn better when they see teachers delivering the instructions. The screen capturing tools allow student's to pause and rewind in order to better grasp the information. I can see how teachers could us tools like Screencastify to teach their student's. Teacher's can record themselves teaching a lesson rig...

Resources for Learning From Home - Using IXL Learning from home in full-swing. Teachers are using different online resources to continue educating their students - posting assignments and lessons. Students are at home, using their laptops, Ipads, or cell phones to complete their assignments online. One online resource that teachers use to help their students in the area of math is IXL . For my blog, I focused on using IXL for math assignments. IXL is a resource teachers use to provide their students with assignments to do from the comforts of their living room. This program can be used in many different ways. I wanted to focus on finding an online resource tool that allows teachers to keep up with their student's progress, and gives them the ability to adapt their lessons based on the data they collect from the online results. When talking about teaching and learning online, I think IXL is a great a way for teachers to keep up with student progress, and for students to ke...
