Google Read Along Comes to the Web


The Read Along App has been around for a few years for Android. Google Recently announced that Read Along is now available on the web!

Students can now explore their favorite stories and practice reading skills on Chromebooks, Laptops, and more devices with a web browser.

If you work with reading students, this might be a resource to add to your tool kit.

Planners, Calendars, and Agenda Templates for the 2022 - 23 School Year

Many educators have upped their digital agenda game over the last few years. I personally keep a general unit overview in a Google Doc. Daily, I display an agenda slide at the start and end of class. I also use Google Classroom to post assignments and due dates. 

Today I wanted to share some agenda resources that we can use to continue to support students as we get ready to head back to our classrooms with our students in 2022. 

Google for Education PD Choice Board

 

We've organized some Google PD resources with the goal of the Google Workspace For Education Choice Board is to help educators explore resources that can be used with students across grade levels and curricular areas. The choice board focuses on Google tools and resources that can be used to engage all students in learning.

If you are looking for additional Google Resources, never fear we've got more in this document.

All About Me - Heart Maps to Start the Year


I am always looking for creative ways to get to know my students. I also love creative ideas that we can use to introduce them to some of the tools we use throughout the year. The past several years I have modeled our use of Padlet with a 7 Pictures - All About Me Project.

This year I was inspired by Marwa Elkelani to try something a little different. We are going to start with some Heart Maps and get some practice with Google Drawings or Google Slides.

Positive Education in the 21st Century

 

Positive education for the 21st century | John Doran

I just wanted to share this video with everyone as we get close to starting the new year. I think it shares some ideas that are worth exploring as we continue to learn and grow as educators. 

I think this was originally posted before the pandemic, but it recently came back to me as I plan for the 2022 - 23 school year. It might be more important now than it even was then?

What do you think? Please share in the comments below?

If you are looking for a bit more positive inspirations, here are a few books and resources that might be worth exploring.
