Peardeck is a simple add on for google slides.  My favorite part about this technology is that it allows me to switch between teacher paced and student paced.  So if I wanted students to work independently, I have the ability to do so in the same platform.

Students can create images and learn about equations. -- Nate O]]> 2021-02-16 22:53:58 UTC https://padlet.com/dvangordermcgoff/y4f3fnc5xlwhlo8s/wish/1209010443 https://padlet.com/dvangordermcgoff/y4f3fnc5xlwhlo8s/wish/1209010511 - Nearpod - especially great especially for English Language Learners (very visual) - very similar to Peardeck in that teacher can see what students are doing, but there are tons of pre-built lessons for MANY topics
- Peardeck
- Google forms (for warm-ups, exit tickets, assessments, social & emotional check-ins, etc.)
- Kahoot - great for all! I usually do one or two educational / on-topic rounds and the winner gets to pick a fun category to follow
- ClassDojo - communication with parents
- NYTimes > Science section
- Nature.com articles]]> 2021-02-16 22:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/dvangordermcgoff/y4f3fnc5xlwhlo8s/wish/1209010511 https://padlet.com/dvangordermcgoff/y4f3fnc5xlwhlo8s/wish/1209010629 2021-02-16 22:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dvangordermcgoff/y4f3fnc5xlwhlo8s/wish/1209010629 https://padlet.com/dvangordermcgoff/y4f3fnc5xlwhlo8s/wish/1209011402 Brainingcamp 

Great for math visuals / manipulatives during virtual lessons especially, and in class.

- my program was designed to be short term, but has no outlines structure on processing out. I administered a survey via Survey Monkey for their feedback & showed them how to use it. It seemed to be of interest. 
KnightCite 
- I have shared this source with several students in the last 3 years. A lot of my students don't get credit for citations in their writing because they only put links. This source helps construct a citation in whichever format you need and is a great refresher for me sometimes as well. Students love how easy it is to use. 
Jamboard 
- This is a source that I urge you to be careful using. I have used it with Math classes and it is really useful there, however, I have sene it go terribly wrong in an ELA class. It works better for instruction and quick attendance check-ins than for longer class assignments. Students can remain anonymous and, freshmen that can be immature, end up using it inappropriately. ]]> 2021-02-16 22:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dvangordermcgoff/y4f3fnc5xlwhlo8s/wish/1209011536 https://padlet.com/dvangordermcgoff/y4f3fnc5xlwhlo8s/wish/1209011792 See Saw - (for Math and Writing assignments... Students can complete assignments with screen shots, video, and recorded responses, etc) Allows teachers to upload work easily from Pearson and record recorded instructions.
Google Classroom (excellent resource for displaying classwork and texts
Go Noodle (excellent for breaks and getting students engaged)

Class Dojo - Student and Family announcements

YouTube - 
Raz Kids - Allows students to listen or read text and take a quiz followed by the reading.  Students love to receive recognition from the program

It provides interactive instruction.
Students are able to provide live feedbacks

Teachers are able to see what students are participating, send messages to see if they need more support. Allows all student to participate at once and reduces wait times. 
Dojos - so students know that we see their good work, and as they earn more dojos they can get a prize.

 This allows students to record themselves, and watch their video over. They can respond to questions, use it to brainstorm, and create an online video portfolio of their work. I usually create a video first to model how the students should use the video feature.

Braining camping is a good math visual and manipulative tool for virtual teaching and works for in person instruction too.

You can generate link or codes for student use, present your own, or copy something you created and add it to a powerpoint or worksheet. ]]> 2021-02-16 23:01:41 UTC https://padlet.com/dvangordermcgoff/y4f3fnc5xlwhlo8s/wish/1209023219
