Before beginning this course, I had a decent understanding of how to use technology in the classroom. However, I had mainly only had experience with Google and Microsoft tools, with the exception of Seesaw. Now I have a much larger tool box and have strengthened my skills with other familiar platforms as well. Here are some of my favorite examples I’ve created this semester.
This is a short and simple book I made using Book Creator that’s intended to be used in the second lesson of a kindergarten unit on the plant life cycle. It has clear visuals and a little video to support early learning.
This post uses Google My Maps, which was one of the Google tools I was previously unfamiliar with. It’s an interactive map detailing three fun geology themed field trips for 1st-3rd grade and gets students familiar with My Maps and conducting simple research.
Here you can see two different uses of Google Forms for a range of grade levels. The first is a self-graded quiz for 5th grade math and the second is an interactive adventure involving fossils, the rock cycle, and ancient civilizations.
