Summer Learning Opportunities for Educators in 2022

Please share any additional summer ideas for educators in the comments below! #HappyLearning

Book Recommendation - The Baller Teacher Playbook

The best educators are not content to do the same old thing year after year. Innovative educators push their thinking by engaging in social media, exploring blogs, attending conferences, and exploring the newest educational books. How will you grow as a learner this year? 

Today I wanted to share a book that was recently recommended by my PLN. I think this is a book might be something many of us need today?

The Baller Teacher Playbook: How to Empower Students, Increase Engagement, and Create the Culture You Want in Your Classroom

emojimix - Combine Popular Emojis to Design Your Own Unique Creations

 

I have long time been a fan of finding different ways to engage students in creative design and reflection. Memes and other creative drawing activities including emoji creation are regular parts of activities in my classroom.

Today I wanted to share a fun site shared by Lori Gracey on the TCEA blog that allows users to combine popular emojis to create something unique. 

Google Updates - Anywhere School, Accessibility, and Educator Resources

Google has some great updates coming this summer and today I wanted share a few that we are excited to explore.

Create a QR Code Activity - Get Students Up and Moving With QR Code Creators

 

I thought QR codes were done, right? Apparently, not so fast. (get the reference?) Maybe it is a side effect of the pandemic and more paperless menus or maybe there is more two these odd little images than I ever realized?

Today, I wanted to share some easy to use QR code creators and ideas on how to use them to engage students with something besides games on those pesky phones. You could also use a laptop or Chromebook with a web camera, but this is sometimes a bit awkward.
