Technology Tools & Trends
Classroom Management Reminder: Stay consistent with your procedures and expectations.
Technology Tools:
ChatterPix app for smartphones and iPads. This could easily be used by younger students. The app allows the student to take a pic of anything and make the image talk by drawing a line for the mouth across the image. It has a 30 second limit of recording, so the student would have to know exactly what they were going to say on the recording.
CheckMark: auto remarks in Google Docs for grading anything, but especially writing for ELA teachers! Save time, customize for types of activities!
Question:
What is Google Docs?
Google docs is a word processor much like Microsoft Word, but for those of you who are in Google Education districts (have google accounts for teachers and students), it is so much more.
How are we using Google Docs in the classroom?
Single user documents to replace worksheets or write essays.
This is a no brainer. Create and share your worksheets and activities with Google Docs to remove the paper from your classroom.
Integrated with Google Classroom, each student gets their own copy.
Teachers can now leave feedback directly to students either real time as they are working or after the fact. You can even have conversations with students in the document while they are working!
Collaborative experiences
Assign one document to pairs, groups, or a whole class!
Students can use this document to work together on an activity, give peer feedback, ask and answer questions as a sort of backchannel chat feature for your class.
Set the student expectations prior to opening the document. Give them procedures for what is expected of them. They must be respectful, do not delete anyone’s work, etc.
Hyperdocs
Create activities that allow for student choice! Place hyperlinks to the bookmarked sections of your document.
Create links to other sites or tools directly from your Google Document.
Next on Wall to Wall Podcast: Using Google Tools in the Classroom: Slides Edition. We will discuss how we are using Slides in our classroom for collaboration, formative assessments, reflections, and much more.
