We had a rollicking good time sharing ideas, wishes for the school year, and exchanging tech tips and tools. During Office Hours Deanna and participants shared some of their favorite tech tools.
At Inspired Classroom, we advocate a blended approach to distance learning. That means using technology tools like Zoom video conferencing synchronously in combination with collaborative tools like Google docs, slides, and forms, asynchronously. There are many great resources out there to help you. Students will need to have an email to access Google Drive. Click here for a short tutorial video from Google.
You can learn and help (really, actually help) researchers with topics ranging from penguins to botany, astronomy to bacteria, anti-slavery manuscripts to maturity of baby sounds!
Are you familiar with Google Earth Voyager projects? I could spend hours checking out these voyages! The idea behind the Voyager projects are simple: Use Google Earth to explore a curated topic.
Join Inspired Classroom for a combination of art and science! We are working on our second collaborative book (the first is: There’s a Bear in the Bathtub!) We are asking students to learn about grizzly bears and connectivity and create an illustration that might be used in the new e-book, Why Did the Bear Cross the Road?
Could you get lost watching wildlife? I could. Explore.org is where to go to check out live streams (and highlights) of animals from elephants to birds to cute kittens.
