More Time w/ Google Slides

Google Slides Can Be More Then Just a Presentation




For this assignment, I wanted to put myself in the shoes of an elementary PE teacher who is teaching students the basics of football. Going outside and playing football is fun and all, but teaching kids the fundamentals of the game while in a classroom setting before hitting the field prepares them for whats to come.

I wanted to build a presentation that help students understand what a football player is, the different positions there are in football, and how football helps young people in life. This particular google presentation helped me build a great activity for doing this.

During my decision making process, I wanted to put something together that would allow the students to present their thoughts while being interactive with the presentation. I wanted the students put together some kind of notes using their previous knowledge of football in an interactive activity. This brought me to the the google slide interactive notebooks. 

The steps in collecting the media elements for this presentation way easy for me because I already had the pictures on my Google Drive. This particular templet I chose has several drag and drop features. This is exactly what I wanted to use to help the students be interactive with this assignment.

Inserting pictures and having the students identify by using the the arrows to drag and drop words was my favorite part of this assignment.

    I am digging the use of the interactive notebook layout for the slides and the use of drag and drop. The idea behind providing learners with key information prior to the activity helps you to establish some background knowledge and an opportunity to clear up any misconceptions (i.e. equipment terminology and position types - offense, defense, special teams).
    This idea could be developed to help any student of the game pick up on essential knowledge such as scoring, rules, safety guidelines, sportsmanship, etc. perhaps even a series for young players or even new fans.

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...
