Found some useful tips on making a classroom blog, some cool extensions and new apps like Google Translate, and was entertained and by Kate B as well as educated on the depth of Gmail. Grammarly is a great add on to Chrome, although it makes me a bit self-conscious about my grammar!

Enjoyed learning about the differences between  apps, extensions and add-ons for google.  I think this will help when I am working with students on writing.
I also loved the break out boxes. I would like to take that idea as a way to encourage hand strength and dexterity, as well as persistence.

After completing the Breakout Box session, it motivated us to find an area and perimeter escape activity that we could use as another resource for reaching our Year Long Math Goal. We found The Escape Classroom which is similar to the Breakout Box session. We are looking forward to participating in any future Breakout Box Workshops!

I used book creator to begin a digital book to celebrate our opinion writers. I want students to be motivated to try their best to convince their reader in the reviews they write. I started a book with with images of the product or place they are writing a review for or photos of their writing. Next we will highlight their best work with a photo or audio clip. -Kelly Sweet

All of the sessions I attended today were so valuable. I’m excited about how many ways I could use Book Creator in my classroom. It appears to be a great tool for showcasing student learning. I plan to incorporate it into our nonfiction unit of study in writing. I’m also thinking about how to use it to replace the end of year slideshow that I normally make. I like the idea of letting my students author the story of their year of learning. -Roxanne Serrecchia

Had a blast using Bots and coding with Karen!
As a team, we shared out our amazing take-aways.  It was so nice to have the time to further explore the tools we learned about this morning.  SO much to think about! :)
Angi and Melanie made a dynamic duo! Having a rep from EDM at our PD was such a luxury- can you keep her?! :).

My world was expanded today with the knowledge of the explore feature in google slides. This feature offers slide layout suggestions based on my content. I no longer have to try to also be a graphic designer when making presentations.  I will definitely be using this professionally and as a student.  I used this feature to enhance one of my presentations.

Session 1: Breakout Boxes
We've dabbled with a few Escape the Classroom activities in grade 5 this year. Breakout Boxes will take this to the next level. I can't wait for the pd day to learn more and receive a breakout box!

Session 2: Google Apps, Add-Ons and Extensions
Wow, out with the bookmarks and in with the extensions. I think using Extensions will allow me to stay more organized and bring even more technology into my classroom. One extension I liked was the 1-click timer. I can use it with individual students or the whole class to help them manage their time effectively. I don't need an expensive working clock with this extension. I can wait to explore and add more!

Session 3: Seesaw
Finally, an app to connect home/school that is simple to use for teachers, students and parents too. I've created a class page. I plan on launching tomorrow.

# data[].attributes.body
Session one: break out boxes

Awesome! I can’t wait to do some PD so we can do this great team builder with the class! Great way to build community and build grit.

Session two: google extensions, etc

So many great ideas and extensions. Already added it to my computer and look forward to making it my primary web browser!

Session three: seesaw

I have used this from the parent perspective and love knowing/seeing what is happening on my sons classroom, and I look forward to providing my student’s parents this same experience.

Molly French

I will definitely be using Seesaw!! Love it’s ease.
Google extensions and apps will increase our productivity!
Break out boxes add a level of engagement to escape the room activities! Can’t wait to get the box at a PD day!

Thank you for your concise and informative sessions!

Session 1: Book Creator

Great resource! So many different applications. Can see it being useful to tie into some student inquiry projects, growth mindset connections, and academic links.

Session 2: Breakout Boxes

Can't wait to go to the PD workshop to get the boxes. This will increase student engagement and I love that you can link it for specfic academic connections or themes.

Session 3: See Saw

This is going to make my life a lot easier! Love the parent connection. Can see how kids would be highly engaged and it would increase accountability.

We have access to so many wonderful resources on connectED. If you go to the main menu, you can find all of the games for your grade level online. We also have access to Math Masters online which can save you the time of rifling through papers to find something.

Check it out, even if you didn't get to go to the session. It's a great way to create books for a variety of purposes. Very cool! Just Google Book Creator and if your school has Chromebooks you can set it up through there for free (scroll down and click for Chrome). :)
