I use Digital Interactive Notebooks (or DINs) in my ELA classroom. In this blog post, I am going to share one of my secrets for creating dynamic interactive student workspaces in Google Slides.

I want you to see your Google Slide as a blank canvas. Ask yourself, "What do I want my students to do on this slide?" If you can imagine it, you can make it!

But after you have created your amazing student workspace, how can you keep your students from moving parts of or deleting your masterpiece? Trust me, they will!

Shhhhh, don't tell anyone, but one of the best tricks for creating your own dynamic interactive student workspaces involves altering the background in Google slides.

When studying fiction, I created an interactive Plot Diagram for students to analyze the parts of a short story we were reading. After spending time creating the slide, I definitely didn't want my students to move parts of the diagram around. What a mess that would be!

Keeping a digital interactive workspace intact takes 2 easy steps!

First, make your slide a jpeg (or a picture).

You might be thinking, "What, you can do that?"

Yes, you can!

With Google Slides open, select the slide you want to make a jpeg. Then,
1. Click on File
2. Select Download, JEPG image (.jpg, current slide)

Now just select where you want to save it! Easy Peasy right!

You're halfway there!

Once you've converted your slide into a picture, you can upload it back into your slide. Now you could just click Insert, Image and then upload it from your computer, but your students can still (and will) delete it. What I prefer is to make the image the slide's background.

To make your image your background, create or select a blank slide.

1. Click on Background
2. Select Image, Choose Image
3. Locate and Upload your image in Drive or from your computer.

Ta-da! You have created your perfect student workspace! You can now layer on top to create text boxes for students to write in, or you can create a moveable, interactive worksheet!

Here are just a few examples of some student workspaces I created for my DINs.

Remember, your slide is your canvas and anything you imagine, you can create! After you have created your masterpieces, come back and share with us some of the ways you were able to be Google!

It's a pretty safe bet that most teachers will be doing some form of online teaching in the coming year. Maybe you'll do it full-time, maybe it will be some kind of hybrid model, but one thing is for sure: This time around you won't be dropped into it without warning.

So with this chance to take a breath and do more thoughtful, intentional planning, the next question is What do we do differently? What shifts do we need to make in our face-to-face teaching practices to make the most of online learning?

To find out, I sought the help of Melanie Kitchen, a Coordinator of Instructional Technology and Staff Development serving 19 school districts in Western New York state. Melanie has years of experience working with teachers on developing blended learning and has now shifted to helping teachers develop best practices for remote learning.

Melanie Kitchen

I asked Melanie to share some ways online teaching should be different from face-to-face teaching. She came up with nine: three that are specific to community building and communication, and six that focus on instructional design. Along with these differences, she also shared a few things that should stay exactly the same.

Community Building & Communication

1. The first weeks of school should be devoted to community building and digital competency.

Resist the temptation to dive right into curriculum at the start of the school year. Things will go more smoothly if you devote the early weeks to building community so students feel connected. Social emotional skills can be woven in during this time. On top of that, students need practice with whatever digital tools you'll be using. So focus your lessons on those things, intertwining the two when possible.

"If you are explicitly teaching persistence," Kitchen says, "maybe I'm going to give you a challenge that's not content-related, but something that you might have to kind of grapple with. But when I assign that, if I'm using Google Classroom, then I'm going to assign that through Google Classroom and teach you how you're going to open an assignment, how you're going to submit it, how you'll be receiving feedback. So you are teaching these skills all at once, and it's not something separate or extra. It's just all done together."

Other good resources that can guide and inform the conversations you have in these early weeks are:

2. Communication with parents needs to be more thorough, streamlined, and predictable.

Parents are also adjusting to this new way of doing school. Because they are sometimes expected to play an even more prominent role in supporting student learning, they need more support from you. "We really need parents to be our partners in this learning community," Kitchen says.

Here are some guidelines:

Establish a consistent location and predictable schedule for sharing information. When parents know where and when to look for information from you, they'll do a better job of keeping up with it and following through on their end. Weekly updates are a good way to keep everyone informed about what's going on in your class. And rather than toggling around between emails, text alerts, blog posts, website announcements, and newsletters, choose one platform for outgoing information and stick to it; if your whole school can do the same you'll see even better results.

Set clear expectations and boundaries for communication. When can students and parents expect to hear from you? How and when can they get in touch with you when needed? If you don't set boundaries you'll end up feeling like you have to be available 24/7, which will quickly lead to burnout. Establish regular office hours and advertise them in an easy-to-find place so parents know when you'll be most accessible.

Create a backup plan for off-hours and tech support. If parents or students need help outside of your regular office hours or they need help with technology, who can they contact? Make this information clearly available.

Make communication multimodal. Although it's important to consistently post through one platform, it's also helpful to provide the information in more than one mode. For example, you might offer written announcements and record the same announcements in a short video each week so students and parents can choose the format that works best for them.

Provide parent tech training. Parents will be better able to support students if they understand how to use the technology, so provide them with tutorials on the tech you use, including whatever platform you use to disseminate information.

3. Community and connection need to be a priority for teachers, too.

"Teachers need to connect with each other now more than ever," Kitchen says. Your school leadership should be building in regular opportunities for you to stay connected to your colleagues during this time. If they are not, create those opportunities for yourself.

Staff meetings should still be held regularly-even if it's through a videoconferencing platform-to keep staff connected.

During these meetings, some time and attention should be given to teacher well-being and emotional health.

Smaller groups like teaching teams or content-area PLCs can offer even more support.

If you're not getting the support you need, seek it out through platforms like Twitter.

This article offers a more in-depth look at teacher well-being: How to Support Teachers' Emotional Needs Right Now.

Instructional Design

4. Teacher collaboration is even more important.

Meeting the challenges of online learning gets easier when we work together. "As we're all trying to get to know these students better," Kitchen says, "we need to be working together to do that." That means working more closely with specialists to make sure our lessons and materials meet the needs of all students, partnering with others in our content area to plan instruction, working together on cross-curricular projects, and dividing up the things all students need (like technology instruction) among teachers on a team or grade level so students aren't doing the same lessons over and over and our work isn't duplicated.

Fortunately, collaborating online can be even easier than trying to do it when we all teach in the same physical building. "This virtual environment has provided us the opportunity to break down those walls, to break down those silos," Kitchen says. "Our schedules and time constraints that we may have had before will come down. We may have more opportunity to partner with people that we didn't have the time or the space to be able to do that before."

5. "Face-to-face" time should be used for active learning.

Online instruction is made up largely of asynchronous instruction, which students can access at any time. This is ideal, because requiring attendance for synchronous instruction puts some students at an immediate disadvantage if they don't have the same access to technology, reliable internet, or a flexible home schedule.

But you're likely to offer "face-to-face" or synchronous opportunities at some point, and one way to make them happen more easily is to have students meet in small groups. While it's nearly impossible to arrange for 30 students to attend a meeting at once, assigning four students to meet is much more manageable. Kitchen likes "campfire groups," which are permanent groups of about four that stay together for long periods of time. This arrangement allows students to get to know each other better and establish more trust. Students might be rearranged for other activities to provide some variety, but the campfire groups would provide a stable base throughout the school term.

So what kind of instructional activities should be used for these different formats?

What works best, Kitchen says, is to keep direct instruction-things like brief video lectures and readings-in asynchronous form, using checks for understanding like embedded questions or exit slips.

You can then use synchronous meetings for more interactive, engaging work. "If we want students showing up, if we want them to know that this is worth their time," Kitchen explains, "it really needs to be something active and engaging for them. Any time they can work with the material, categorize it, organize it, share further thoughts on it, have a discussion, all of those are great things to do in small groups."

Small group strategies she strongly recommends:

6. Content needs to be simplified and slowed down.

Online instruction is not conducive to covering large amounts of content, so you have to choose wisely, teaching the most important things at a slower pace. To make those choices, Kitchen recommends asking some key questions:

What really holds leverage for the students? What has endurance? What knowledge is essential?

What knowledge and skills do students need to have before they move to the next grade level or the next class?

What practices can be emphasized that transfer across many content areas? Skills like analyzing, constructing arguments, building a strong knowledge base through texts, and speaking can all be taught through many different subjects.

What tools can serve multiple purposes? Teaching students to use something like Padlet gives them opportunities to use audio, drawing, writing, and video. Non-digital tools can also work: Students can use things they find around the house, like toilet paper rolls, to fulfill other assignments, and then submit their work with a photo.

7. Instructions should be easy to find, explicit, and multimodal.

Because you are not in the same room with students, your instructions have to work a lot harder than they do in a brick-and-mortar setting.

Provide instructions in a consistent location and at a consistent time. This advice was already given for parents, but it's worth repeating here through the lens of instructional design: Set up lessons so that students know where to find instructions every time.

Make instructions explicit. Read and re-read to make sure these are as clear as possible. Make dogfooding your lessons a regular practice to root out problem areas.

Offer multimodal instructions. If possible, provide both written and video instructions for assignments, so students can choose the format that works best for them. You might also offer a synchronous weekly or daily meeting; what's great about doing these online is that even if you teach several sections of the same class per day, students are no longer restricted to class times and can attend whatever meeting works best for them.

8. Traditional grading practices should take a backseat to feedback.

"We saw a transition during emergency remote teaching where each of us had different requirements about grades or no grades, pass and fail," Kitchen says. "This whole environment really needs to be supported by communication and connection. If I'm to receive an A or a 95 or a 65, that doesn't necessarily tell me as much as verbal feedback or print feedback to what I'm doing right, what I can improve on."

So when teaching remotely, put the emphasis on formative feedback as students work through assignments and tasks, rather than simply grading them at the end.

Most learning management platforms, like Google Classroom, have built-in features for giving feedback. Use these as your primary method.

Tools like Floop offer other ways to provide on-the-spot feedback and can be especially good for math.

Feedback should be frequent and specific. Consider some of the methods shared by Matthew Johnson in Flash Feedback.

Provide a pathway for students and parents to give YOU feedback on assignments as well.

9. Summative assessment should focus on creation.

In online learning, Kitchen says, "There are so many ways that students can cheat, so if we're giving them just the traditional quiz or test, it's really easy for them to be able to just look up that information."

A great solution to this problem is to have students create things. These can be videos, podcasts, digital or physical art, writing pieces, comics, and so on. "It's a lot more difficult to cheat when you have to make something or do something. And it also integrates all of the areas and it builds up, all of that learning builds up into this creation that they will do."

For assessment, use a detailed rubric that highlights the learning goals the end product will demonstrate. A single-point rubric works well for this.

To help students discover tools to work with, this list of tools is organized by the type of product each one creates. Another great source of ideas is the Teacher's Guide to Tech.

When developing the assignment, rather than focusing on the end product, start by getting clear on what you want students to DO with that product. This list from Bill Ferriter explores the difference:

What Stays the Same

Not everything in online teaching is different. Some aspects of good teaching should definitely stay the same.

Clear and consistent communication

Creating explicit and consistent rituals and routines

Using research-based instructional strategies

Determining whether to use digital or non-digital tools for an assignment

A focus on authentic learning, where authentic products are created and students have voice and choice in assignments

The teaching environment may not be the same as we're used to, but it's important to remember that good teaching is still good teaching. "All of those things that we know are really good practices can still be done virtually," Kitchen says. "It just might look a little bit different."

Got a bit of downtime? Take a trip to a national park from wherever you are! Many national park sites across the country offer digital tours and experiences that you can access anytime, anywhere. From digitally diving under the sea to watching the cherry blossom trees bloom, there are countless ways to #FindYourPark / #EncuentraTuParque online.

Virtual Tours

Get up close and personal with parks through virtual tours. Learn more about the history of these legendary places and how essential their protection and preservation is in ensuring these sites are enjoyed for generations to come.

Clara Barton National Historic Site

A U.S. Patent Office clerk turned field nurse, Clara Barton was the founder and first president of the American Red Cross. Her life and legacy are celebrated at Clara Barton National Historic Site, the Glen Echo, Maryland house that was her home for the last 15 years of her life, as well as the national headquarters of the American Red Cross, a dormitory for staff, and a warehouse for relief supplies.

In a virtual tour, explore the house's many rooms and hallways, including twelve restored rooms. Hear the "voice of Clara Barton" provide descriptions in her own words and navigate the tour with your mouse to see 360-degree views. Younger virtual visitors can enjoy educational, interactive learning activities, and print out a personalized certificate upon completion.

Hot Springs National Park

The thermal waters of Hot Springs National Park have drawn visitors for centuries. Originally a site for American Indians to quarry novaculite, the area's hot springs soon became a favored destination for those seeking health treatments. Now nicknamed "the American Spa," the park preserves more than 20 miles of trails, 40 hot springs, and the historic Bathhouse Row - a stunning showcase of Gilded Age architecture.

Take a virtual tour of the park's historic Bathhouse Row district in an interactive map - presented by the Midwest Archeological Center, the National Park Service, and the Southeast Archeological Center. View 360-degree photographs of the bathhouse interiors and learn about the importance of these 20th century buildings.

Virgin Islands National Park

Two-thirds of the island of St. John in the Virgin Islands is a national park. Virgin Islands National Park features gorgeous sandy beaches and palms, as well as a rich marine life in underwater coral reefs. But the park boasts more than just beautiful beaches - ancient petroglyphs, carved by the Taino Indians, can be spotted along the Reef Bay Trail, and plantation ruins tell the stories of when the sugar industry dominated life on the island.

Discover this park on a virtual tour of its historic windmills and plantations. Or take a virtual 3-D tour of the Annaberg Sugar Plantation, one of the finest remaining examples of the Danish Colonial Era industrial agriculture in the Virgin Islands.

Hamilton Grange National Memorial

The final home of one of our nation's founding fathers, Hamilton Grange National Memorial tells the story of Alexander Hamilton - from his humble beginnings as an orphan in the Caribbean to acting as the country's first Secretary of the Treasury. Hamilton commissioned architect John McComb Jr. to design this home for an estate in upper Manhattan, and it was here that he lived the final two years of his life.

Follow along with Jordan Fisher as he tours the house with Ranger Vlad in a video produced by the National Park Foundation and the National Park Service. Together they explore the rooms of Hamilton Grange, including the formal dining room Hamilton used to entertain guests and his personal study where he would read and write.

Crater Lake National Park

Formed by a volcanic eruption and collapse, Crater Lake National Park features the deepest lake in the U.S., and one of the top ten deepest lakes in the world. While people have inhabited the lake's shores for centuries, the park was founded in 1902 to protect its natural resources, including its fresh, clear water, and cultural resources.

Go on a tour of the park with Dierks Bentley and park ranger Charlie in this 360-degree video produced by the National Park Foundation and the National Park Service. Catch the sun rise over Garfield Peak and cruise around Phantom Ship, a rock formation that predates the lake. Watch the video on a mobile device and move around to see the remarkable vistas of Crater Lake!

New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park

As the capital of the 19th century whaling industry and a safe haven along the Underground Railroad, as well as the home to legendary figures such as Frederick Douglass and Herman Melville, New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park preserves, protects, and interprets cultural resources within the "city that lit the world." Located in downtown New Bedford, the park spans over 13 blocks, and includes a whaling museum, a waterfront visitor center, a custom house, and more.

Take a video tour or interactive virtual tour of the Nathan and Polly Johnson House, not normally open to the public, provided by the National Park Service and the New Bedford Historical Society. Owned by Nathan and Mary "Polly" Johnson, free blacks living in New Bedford, the house welcomed and assisted those traveling along the Underground Railroad. The house was even the first residence of Frederick Douglass after his escape from slavery in 1838.

Live Webcams

Make your escape to a scenic vista in a national park with a live webcam. Search for wildlife or sit back and enjoy the beauty of our national parks and the landscapes they preserve.

National Mall and Memorial Parks

A tradition in our nation's capital for over 100 years, the annual blossoming of the cherry trees on the National Mall and Memorial Parks is a reminder of the beauty of spring. Plantings of cherry trees began in 1912 as a gift of friendship to the People of the United States from the People of Japan. Equated with the evanescence of human life, the beauty of the pale blossoms epitomizes the transformation of Japanese culture throughout the ages.

This webcam from the Trust for the National Mall, EarthCam, the National Park Service, and The National Cherry Blossom Festival brings the cherished and beloved cherry trees to you, wherever you are. Peer out at D.C.'s Tidal Basin, including the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, and the Washington Monument. The live camera will change views every five minutes so you can enjoy these blooms from every angle.

Paterson Great Falls National Historic Park

Established in 1792, Paterson, NJ was a planned industrial city from the minds of Alexander Hamilton and the "Society for Establishing Usefull Manufacturers." Humble mills along the Passaic River manufactured cotton, silk, steam locomotives, rolls of paper, and even airplane engines. The Great Falls at Paterson Great Falls National Historic Park are central to the park's story - their impressive power was the inspiration for Hamilton to establish the city in this spot.

Get a glimpse of the Great Falls with a live webcam presented by EarthCam, the National Park Service, and the City of Paterson. Revel in the majesty of these remarkable falls and the surrounding town that fostered the American Industrial Revolution, changing the face of America forever.

Channel Islands National Park

Dive into the rich marine life at Channel Islands National Park. Close to California's southern coast and encompassing of five different islands and their ocean environment, the park preserves and protects a variety of natural and cultural resources. The islands' remote location is home to unique animals, plants, and archeological resources found nowhere else on Earth.

Go under the sea with the park's live ocean webcam, presented in partnership between the National Park Service, Explore.org, and the Ventura County Office of Education, set up in the landing cove on Anacapa Island. See how many different marine species you can spot - there are nearly one thousand documented so far!

Statue of Liberty National Monument

A gift from the people of France to the U.S., Statue of Liberty National Monument is recognized globally as a symbol of freedom and democracy. A welcoming figure for the millions of immigrants who entered the United States through New York between 1886 and 1924, the Statue was immortalized in Emma Lazarus' poem "The New Colossus," later engraved on a bronze plaque affixed to the base of the statue. First illuminated in 1916, the National Park Service has been caring for this iconic landmark since 1933.

Check in with Lady Liberty on a live webcam from EarthCam, the National Park Service, and the Statue of Liberty - Ellis Island Foundation. Enjoy a live look at the New York City skyline, as well as views of the Hudson River and ships in New York Harbor.

Yellowstone National Park

Watching Old Faithful Geyser erupt is one of Yellowstone National Park 's most treasured traditions. However, Old Faithful is just one of nearly 500 active geysers in the park, and one of six that park rangers currently predict. While the park is also famous for its scenery and wildlife, it's unique and dynamic geothermal features were what inspired its designation as the first established national park in the world.

Explore Yellowstone's nine webcams - one live-streaming and eight static - provided by Canon USA, Inc. through a grant to Yellowstone Forever. Take a closer look at a few of the park's geysers, including Lone Star, Old Faithful, and Castle Geysers, through an overview of the Geyser Basin and 3-D models.

Katmai National Park & Preserve

Established in 1918 to preserve features associated with one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions ever recorded, Katmai National Park and Preserve protects thousands of years of human history. The park's millions of acres serve as an important protected habitat for salmon and thousands of brown bears, which can be seen in high concentrations across the park.

Explore the park's three bear webcams, presented in partnership with Explore.org. Bear cams go live each summer when the park's bears are most active, but you can catch highlight reels from the bear cams year-round. Search for bears fishing for salmon at Brooks Falls and the Riffles, plus catch mothers and cubs on the Lower River cam. You may even catch a snorkeling bear from the River Watch cam, which provides a closer view of Brooks River.

Conditional formatting to do self checking practice

Conditional formatting to do self checking practice

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There are so many excellent tools for online assessment including Google Forms, Quizlet, Kahoot, Flippity, Quizizz, and more. In addition to providing teachers with data on student performance, online quizzes can also be valuable simply for student self-assessment.

With self-assessments the purpose is for the student to test themselves, see if they are correct or not, and usually retry until they get the right answer. Grades are not collected, because by the end the student should have every question correct. The point is to let the learner practice, see what they do and do not understand, and then work toward improvement.

There are several tools that can be used for this sort of self-assessment. One great option is to use Google Sheets with conditional formatting. This allows you to provide feedback based on what the student types in for their answers, so they can identify and work on questions they are struggling with.

To help make this easier, I have created a " Self-Checking Assessment Template" for Google Sheets. See below for a link to get your own copy, along with directions on how to use it, and some behind-the-scenes explanations of how it works.

Self-Checking Examples

Before we check out the templates, it may be best to start with some completed examples to show the final product. For my examples I used some Ohio trivia (since that is where I live). Click on either link below to get your own copy of a self-checking example:

Once you get your copy of the Ohio Trivia example, you can begin typing in your answers in the " Answers" column. If you get an answer correct, the cell will fill in with green (because of conditional formatting).

If you type in the incorrect answer, then the cell will turn red. You can then try again until you get the correct answer.

For the example that includes the " Hints" option, you can check the box to get a hint displayed if needed.

Self-Checking Templates

To make your own self-checking assessments, you can click the links below to get a copy of either template:

Directions for Use

Once you have a copy of the template, here is how you fill it out and set it up for use:

The template will have two tabs at the bottom, one titled "Questions" and one titled "Key".

Type in your questions on the "Questions" tab, one question per row.

Next type in the answers on this "Key" tab, one per row, matching the rows on the "Questions" tab.

If you are using the templates that include the "Hints" option, then type in the hints on the "Key" tab, one per row, matching the rows on the "Questions" tab. Hints can include text, links, images and more.

When done, you now want to hide the "Key" tab so users will not be able to see the answers and/or hints.

Hide the "Key" tab by clicking on the arrow in the tab title below, then choosing "Hide sheet".

Note: If you need to un-hide the sheet later, you can always click "View" then "Hidden sheets".

When all done, you can now share your Sheet with others.

You can share the Sheet as view-only, and then users can make their own copy to fill out.

Or you could use a tool like Google Classroom to make a copy of the Sheet for each student.

Conditional Formatting

For those interested in how the template actually works, the main feature of Sheets being used is conditional formatting. This is a setting in Sheets that allows you to format cells based on the content that is typed into the cells. In the past, this is how I created my " 20-Color Pixel Art Template" and my " Long Multiplication template".

Here are the basic for how conditional formatting works:

First, select the cell (or cells) you wish to apply the conditional formatting to.

Next click "Format" in the top menu bar.

Choose "Conditional formatting" from the drop-down menu.

This will open a panel on the left titled "Conditional format rules".

For "Apply to range" you can change which cells are affected if needed.

For "Format cells if" you can choose the condition that needs to be met. This can include many options such as comparing text, numerical values, and dates, as well as more advanced custom formulas.

For "Formatting style" you can choose how to format the cells if the above condition is met. This can include cell color, text color, bold, strike-through, and more.

If you need to add more rules, you can click "Add another rule" and repeat the process.

When all done, click "Done".

Now anytime someone types content into the cells, the conditional formatting rules will be checked. If the content that is typed in matches one of the rules, then the corresponding formatting will be applied to that cell.

For the Self-Checking Templates in this blog post, I used custom formulas in conditional formatting to take what the user types in on the "Questions" tab and compare that to the correct answers on the "Key"tab. If they match, the conditional formatting colors the cells in green, and if they do not match then the rule colors the cell red.

I remember in college learning to code on Code Academy and I was so impressed with all the badges you could earn for coding (like the 100 day streak badge). I liked sharing and showing off these badges but I also realized that the badge represented something more than just a reward. I didn't code for 100 days in a row so I can get some digital badge, but because, I loved coding. It turns out the BADGE represented WHAT I accomplished but my WHY was that, I wanted to be good at coding. Too many times we dangle a carrot in front of our kids and gives them rewards without them ever taking a minute to understand why they were doing it in the first place.

BadgeU aims to reclaim your classroom through intrinsic self motivation by capturing those moments that grades could never capture. Things like kindness, empathy, tenacity and creativity can now be acknowledged, celebrated and captured using a digital badge!

Viewers can move around the galleries looking at the machines and their descriptions with the added bonus of hyperlinks to video and text explanations providing further detail and history of the exhibits.

Kevin Murrell, a trustee at The National Museum of Computing, said "The virtual tour is quite incredible and a dramatic way of realising how far technology has come in a few decades. We are seeing 1950s computers with 2017 tech and getting a convincing dolls-house view of the galleries that is impossible to see in real life! It's a marvellous tool to attract people to come to see the museum in real life - even regular visitors will see something new."

Just like Google Street View, users can move around the galleries and zoom in on points of interest. They can read the explanations already displayed in the galleries and have the added bonus of links to further information and even videos of machines in action. At the WITCH, for example, they can click on a link to see the moment when the oldest computer in the world was rebooted after restoration in 2012.

Explaining the versatile technology behind Venue View, its managing director Keith McMahon said, "With our specialist camera, we can record any venue in 360 HD in a short space of time with no interference to anything in the scene. As well as the tours being viewable in virtual reality, the addition of infra-red cameras means we can capture a 3D version of any venue to give a life-like representation of the space from above."

Are you so sick of hearing students or parents say that an activity you sent them won't work on their device? The struggle is real when we are asking them to download apps, log in to platforms, and open browsers across different device types. The only thing that currently works on any type of device and in any browser is HTML5.

We spend so much time looking for and testing out digital activities for our students. There is almost nothing worse than finding the perfect activity for a standard and then finding out half of your students don't have the right program, app, or device to be able to use it!

Even worse, students needing accounts to be able to use a platform means that we have to get their information to them and hope they keep track of it or remember it.

Wouldn't it be so much easier to find (or create) activities that you know will work on any device and just need to share the URL with students? I'd love to teach you how! Fair warning - my tutorials aren't free. Keep reading if you're still interested.

For the tools I'm about to share, the official tutorials are in my Premium Member's Library - The Technology Toolbox for Teachers. If you're a teacher or a homeschooling parent wanting to learn about edtech tools, the Tech Toolbox membership is for you!

Do you want to be able to make activities like:

Drag and Drop

Find the Hotspot

Memory Match

Flashcards

Image Sequencing

Image Pairing (matching)

Word Search

Drag the Words

Fill in the Blanks

And more!

Drum-roll please! The 2 digital tools I use to make HTML5 activities are:
Educaplay and H5P

Educaplay is great for beginners because everything is hosted right on their site with a free account.

Click here to try an Educaplay activity I made.

H5P is for more experienced users and is great because having the activities on your own platform gives you full control over site speed and student access. You can practice building activities on the H5P site, but there are limited plays if you share the link with students. You'll need a website to host these activities on if you want to get serious about making your own. I go over this in detail in the tutorial.

Click here to try some H5P activities that I built for my elementary technology curriculum.

To learn how to use each of these tools, register for the Technology Toolbox for Teachers.

Help me spread the word about HTML5 activities!

Instead of spending your weekends making these digital activities for your students, why not ask your favorite TpT sellers to start making them? You can send them to this blog post or give them the information below ( I have a course for sellers on making these digital activities to sell).

I've been making activities in HTML5 for years and it is time consuming. I have added over 100 H5P activities into my elementary technology curriculum and I also have a few separate units available with smaller sets of skills. I realized that I can't make them fast enough to keep up with the ideas that teachers are sharing with me. There is a real need for HTML5 activities for all subject areas!

If you're a teacher then the Tech Toolbox membership is how to learn about these tools.
If you're interested in making these activities to sell, I have a separate course for that. Click to learn more about my Digital Resources Course.

If you do not want students to see upcoming work, when you make the assignment, you can schedule it to appear whenever you wish.  Instead of clicking on "Post", choose the drop down menu (second picture), then use the drop down menu to choose the day and time.  It is pretty accurate and works well.

Notes for use:   To make your meeting do not use the calendar.  Go to your waffle and open up "Meets."  Choose "Join or Start a Meeting". Make a nickname (I suggest your name and 345 ie. nauer345)

Students need to log into their google accounts in order for this to work.  Once logged in, they go to the waffle and choose "Meets."  They will see the first screen above and they select "Use a meeting code." The second picture is where they add in your nickname.
