During the school year, we use this website to guide students to all of their online platforms such as iReady, IXL, Language Live, and Schoology. This is also a shortcut for all students on their laptops!

In addition to this, you are able to create skill plans for all students. For example, during intervention class, there was a student that needed to learn long division. We learned the method in class, and then put the student on a skill plan which covered different skills such multiplication and division. I had students complete 60 minutes of IXL each week. Over the course of the school year, I saw tremendous growth with my students math skills. ]]> 2022-06-04 20:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/emmajuliajones/5612Mod1/wish/2211070742 emmajuliajones https://padlet.com/emmajuliajones/5612Mod1/wish/2211074238 TEAMS was heavily used and introduced to MNPS as an alternative to ZOOM (b/c MNPS is Microsoft affiliated).
