Today we explored GimKit and subscribed to the Google Teacher Toolkit Podcast.

I discovered some nice short cuts to clean up my google drive such as starring folders and changing colors. I also liked looking at the different gaming options .

We created a GimKit that we can use during our STAAR review.

We use choice boards at the end of a unit to provide students with a variety of ways to show us what they know.

We have the students to do a end of year project that allows them to choose a way to present something they learned throughout the year. This will allow my digital learners an option.

Voice to text is my new way to put together notes for my classes, my typing skills are less than stellar😳

I am trying to end the year on a more fun and positive note. So I looked through gaming and digital projects. I do a lot of games in my class already, but there were a few I had never heard of, like Gimkit. I am also interested in doing a digital project here at the end instead of another unit test.

digital projects and gaming after the star test will be essential to surviving but still productive with setup for the next year.

I explored the Literature Activity Choice Board. I realize this activity is for younger grades, but I am interested in using it for my Link students who are reading/exploring books that interest them.

When a choice is offered,  students are more likely to "buy into" the lesson they are asked to learn.  When they buy in, there is a transfer of the knowledge and skills from the teacher to the student.  Those now belong to the students.

As we develop digital projects, choice boards can widen the field for student learning.  Given time to develop these, we can utilize them with our Romeo and Juliet Connection research project.  I utilized something like this through Google Classroom for EOC review so that students could customize their remediation and review.

I love the Novel Vocabulary activity. In order to enhance their vocabulary, students need to read and look for/look up words that are unknown to them. They can look up the definition and be able to see the word used in context.
