Pear Deck Link: https://www.peardeck.com/products/pear-deck

Description: Pear Deck is a presentation that promotes student participation in lectures and whole group lessons.

Project-based learning connections/ differentiation: When beginning a new project- based learning task, breaking it down into stages can help students not become overwhelmed. Learning about a topic during synchronous learning, and then completing check points in Pear Deck can help ensure that all students are grasping the new ideas. By completing some of the stages of the PBL in class, as a class, will start the students off on the right foot to complete the rest of the tasks now that they can an idea of how they work. Teachers can allow some students to work at a self-guided pace and pull a small group to complete the presentation together if they require more support. Pear Deck encourages students to participate in synchronous learning by having the presentation interaction. They are not just listening to a lecture but answer questions, watching videos, taking note, etc. Pear Deck can create a solid foundation for a new topic which would then allow students to be creative with their project because they fully understand the topic.

Project- based unit idea: Pear Deck can function as format for the synchronous learning needed for students to create their own product for a PBL. By conducting whole group learning with Pear Deck, students are interacting with new information that they will need to use to problem-solve. After building a strong foundation of knowledge, students will be able to be creative.

ISTE Standard: Using technology tools during whole group, or synchronous learning time, students will begin to learn the expected online behaviors and how to use technology appropriately in class. The ISTE Standard 1.2.b Online Behaviors is being taught through the use of Pear Deck (International Society for Technology in Education, 2023) . Students will practice focusing on a topic and using their technology for academic growth.

Google Classroom Link: Home (google.com)

Description: Google Classroom is a platform that can house all of the material students will be using in a class and the assignments they will complete. It serves as a gradebook, virtual meeting spot, and feedback central.

Project-based learning connections/ differentiation: Since Google Classroom is very customizable, teachers an assign lessons and tasks in various forms: Google docs, learning software, self-guided work, group projects, and both synchronous and asynchronous learning. If a teachers want their class to complete a PBL task, they can assign per-class work where the students learn about a project asynchronously, then join a Google Meet to work synchronously. Students can submit links to projects they have completed when turning in their work so they are not limited to how they can demonstrate their knowledge. Since teachers can assign work to individual students or groups, they are able to differentiate the assignments and how they assignments are complete/ what the requirements are. Teachers can include audio clips for directions or provide additional resources if a student needs. Google Classroom also has a Google Meet link. This can help students stay encouraged and connected to their learning if they have scheduled times they can log in to meet with their teacher and ask questions.

Project-based unit idea: In any subject, teachers can assign students specific tasks of their PBL assignment. Then they can complete the project one task at a time.

ISTE Standard: By using Google Slides in both synchronous and asynchronous learning, students will be meeting the ISTE Standard 1.4.a Design Process (International Society for Technology in Education, 2023). Students can use slides to organize their information and then create the solution for their PBL task. If they want to make changes, they can go back to the design process in their slides.

# data[].attributes.body
Audio clip link: https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=inserting+audio+clips+in+google+slides&qpvt=inserting+audio+clips+in+google+slides&view=riverview&mmscn=mtsc&mid=6A9CE057A829BD116C2F6A9CE057A829BD116C2F&&aps=25&FORM=VMSOVR

Description: Voice recorders and audio clips can be used by both students and teachers during asynchronous learning. Teachers can record directions/ tips and students can record their answers/ explanations etc.

Project-based learning connections/ differentiation: While completing PBL asynchronously, students may be required to describe their project. Some students may struggle with writing and be more successful giving a speech, through recording their voice, to dictate their ideas. This allows all students to share all the information and details they want regardless of their writing level. As for the teacher, they can give students the necessary support while they are working independently. Students will be able to access directions and resources at any point with voice recorders or audio clips inserted into a presentation or document.

Project- based unit: In a science unit on engineering, for example, students can create their machine or invention to solve a specific problem. If students are in-person, they can record an explanation of their machine and leave the recorder by the model or picture. Then the class can take a gallery walk and listen to each recording. If the students are in a virtual setting, students can insert audio clips to their presentation for other students to listen too.

ISTE Standards: Voice recorders and audio clips help students meet the ISTE Standard 1.6.d Customize the Message because they are able to share exactly what they want about a project (International Society for Technology in Education, 2023).

Social Media Link: FaceBook, Instagram

Description: Social media platforms are great technology tools for students to make global connections. By following specific creators and commenting/ messaging on posts, students can learn valuable information.

Project-based learning connections/ differentiation: PBL requires students to research topics and learn up to date information. Many reliable sources use social media to teach people about animals, science, technology, humanities, etc. Any project students are working on, there is an expert putting out credible information. Social media can help inspire all different students. Using social media opens up doors for all students to find something they are interested in. While students might explore these platforms independently at home, they will be most effective during synchronous instruction. By having the teacher in control of what is seen and commented on videos, students will be kept safe from strangers and inappropriate content.

Project-based unit idea: When learning about other cultures in social studies, teachers can help facilitate a pen-pal program. Students can connect with a student the same age in another part of the world and learn about their culture.

ISTE Standard: Using social media as a technology tool addresses the ISTE Standard 1.7.a Global Connections (International Society for Technology in Education, 2023). Students will open their worlds and viewpoints to someone or something new.

Google Earth Link: https://earth.google.com/web/

Description: Google Earth puts students anywhere and everywhere. Students are able to see other countries and get a better idea of what the world has to offer.

Project-based learning connections/ differentiation: By using Google Earth, teachers can immerse students in a completely different culture, show landscapes, and support student understandings. PBL tasks require students to create a solution to a real-world problem. If a student does not comprehend where something is, or how far away something is, it might be difficult for them to move forward with solving a problem. Google Earth can "put" students in a new location right away. Teh updated pictures make sure that students are getting an accurate picture of a new place. This tool can inspire students to learn more about the world around them. Beginning to use this tool synchronously will help students stay focused on a task and learn how to appropriately use Google Earth. By using Google Earth with a teacher, it will stop students from sharing their addresses and other personal information.

ISTE Standard: Aside from meeting the standard 1.7.a Global Connections, using Google Earth synchronously will also meet the standards 1.2.b Online Behavior and 1.2.d Digital Privacy (International Society for Technology in Education, 2023). Students will learn how to properly use Google Earth and to not share personal information for their own safety.
