         <description><![CDATA[<div>Reading Horizons Discovery is an online platform for students to work independently on phonics and phonemic awareness skills. After receiving whole group instruction or small group intervention from a teacher, students in OKCPS elementary schools may login to Reading Horizons Discovery through their Clever account to practice skills at their independent and instructional levels. Reading Horizons Discovery is generally user friendly for both the student and the teacher. Students quickly access their accounts through Clever and begin instruction where they last left off. Teachers can monitor student progress, strengths, and misconceptions through various reports on the administrator's page. Some teachers are quickly overwhelmed by the multiple report types and names and often struggle to maintain accurate data tracking. Before using this resource in the classroom, teachers will want to know student's current instructional needs. Because the program begins all students with the most basic concepts, it is important that teachers know their student by need and override each child to the appropriate lesson level. Additionally, teachers will want to learn tools such as assigning check-ups or requiring students to redo an entire lesson or chapter test.&nbsp;<br><br>Jennifer Reyes-Garcia</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Understanding the different functions on Google Sheets allowed my team and I to better view and analyze data in order to support our students' academic growth. Google Sheets, much like Excel can be intimidating at first glance. However with practice and consistency, this program allows users to stay organized.&nbsp;<br><br>As a team, we include a variety of information; NWEA testing, benchmarks, and demographics are just to name a few. This information comes in handy as we collaborate and meet in PLCs.&nbsp;<br><br>For us, the most important component of Google Sheets is the conditional formatting function. This allows the user to create presets to based on the information placed.&nbsp;<br><br>I am sharing a limited example of what my third grade team's data sheet looks like. The only difference is that our tracking sheet also includes a tab for tiered 3 data, tiered 2 data, and data on our enrichment implementation. This holds everyone accountable, including teachers that are providing pull-out services.&nbsp;<br><br><br>Chabeli Montoya</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Khan Academy is a nonprofit organization that provides personalized learning, trusted content, and tools to empower teachers. Khan Academy offers students and teachers access to FREE standards aligned math instruction for grades K-12 as well as grammar, science, and history content. Teachers have the option of assigning whole class lessons or differentiating instruction for learners across content grade-levels. Students may initially work at their own pace to fill in gaps but later experience acceleration in their learning. Students receive video support, exemplars, and hints while working through their virtual content. Once creating a class roster, teachers are presented with multiple guides on how to find instruction, assign instruction, and evaluate instruction. Additionally, Khan Academy has 24 hour tech support via phone or online chat which has proven very beneficial to classroom teachers working after contract hours. Before enrolling students into Khan Academy, educators must determine which standards students are lacking and must also understand how to read the available data reports.&nbsp;<br><br>Jennifer Reyes-Garcia</div>]]></description>

It is easy to use so you don't really need to be a techy person, but if you want to use formulas to automate or facilitate the process you will need some specific sintaxis to write complex formulas, even though the app provides a wizard that you can see examples for each one of the formulas.&nbsp;<br>Marile Melean</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I love Edulastic for its ease of use. It is a great tool to use for everyday assignments, quizzes, or tests. It is user friendly and any subject can build any type of classroom work.&nbsp;<br>I have taught different science classes, math classes, and special education classes and each group of students thought the user-ability was easy. In any type of assignment, the teacher can give feedback, they can put the problem worked out or explanation if the student misses a question that way they are able to use it as a study tool.<br>It also gives great statistics in real time. For example, when students are taking a test, I can watch the students and what problems they are getting right or wrong. If I notice that a particular problem is getting missed too much, I can go in and look at the answers to see what they are choosing. Sometimes, it's teacher error and I clicked the wrong answer choice. So while they are working on the assignment, I can go in and change the answer, and it will automatically regrade.&nbsp;<br>It also gives a pretty healthy database of questions to pick from or already made assignments. Some are even done by standards which makes it super nice.&nbsp;<br>You can choose from a wide array of question types, multiple choice, multiple answer, essay, graphing, math, and etc.&nbsp;<br>It's a really a great tool and easy to use. First time users would want to explore the app and it's all free!</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Rooms is a messaging and two-way communication solution that is directly linked to your school app.&nbsp;</strong></div><div>The core of what makes Rooms so effective is the user experience for parents, students, and teachers. Rooms consolidate all communication into one location and streamline the digital classroom.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Easily manage your classroom even while you're not there.</strong></div><div>It is now required to have a virtual classroom; it is no longer an option. Teachers can adapt to shifting classroom dynamics with ease because of Rooms.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Organize the conversation in one spot.&nbsp;</strong></div><div>In order to represent and promote a district's brand, teachers are essential. Rooms provide educators with the resources they need to facilitate smooth dialogue between families and instructors. Rooms gather discussions from several channels and consolidate them into a single location. Students can ask their teacher questions about school in a supervised, secure environment, and parents won't ever have to worry about when their kids' homework is due.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Classes&nbsp;</strong></div><div>The Classes' Homepage is the first page a student sees after logging into Rooms. They can view notifications inside each class and easily access all of their classes from one page.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Stream</strong></div><div>Within a certain class, students can view announcements and impending assignments. Students and guardians can view any new updates, and teachers and staff can add materials for classes.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Messages</strong></div><div>With Messages, parent-teacher communication is improved. When parents receive updates on school and district news, they may use the same app to communicate with teachers and view announcements in the classroom. On a single platform, educators may access all of their messages. If students have questions regarding impending assignments, they can directly message the teacher. This is an administrator-monitored safe zone for student-teacher discussion.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Translations</strong></div><div>Any message, class information section, or Class Stream content may be swiftly and simply translated using Rooms on desktop and mobile devices. Because the standards are built on Google's foundation, teachers and students may communicate in the same language at home. With Rooms, nothing is lost in translation.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Behavior</strong></div><div>Rooms assist in celebrating the accomplishments of your students in the classroom. Teachers can use Behavior to award points to their students for participating in class, acting well, and upholding the principles of their school. Guardians may simply monitor positive behavior within the app, keeping them updated on their student's accomplishments and points.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Materials</strong></div><div>Filling out hard copies of curriculum notes and extra resources is made easier and less stressful with Rooms materials features. Instructors can upload and arrange all of the documents for a semester in one session. Best feature? Just copy, paste, and recycle your old curriculum documents when the next semester starts. We'll have your new semester ready in a few minutes.<br><br></div><div>&nbsp;Yolanda R. Cato</div>]]></description>
