Lesson Design in Workstations

Please join us as we share our strategy for managing small group instruction. We will be using Google Docs as a template to be shared out via Google Classroom to create weekly workstations. This allows our students to have voice and choice in their independent work time. We cover creating a template, finding resoures (FlipGrid, Benchmark, Seesaw, Pearson, and much more), and managing accountablity. Hope you can join us to learn something new to take to class on Monday.

Basic knowledge of google slides helpful. Participants will walk away with templates and resources to make their own.

Inquiry with Seesaw

This session is for K-6 teachers who want to spark wonder and curiosity in their students. Go beyond the Seesaw basics in your K-6 classroom! Seesaw can be especially powerful with inquiry because students can easily navigate the icons to upload digital drawings, audio clips, notes, video, images, and files. Since Seesaw is a digital portfolio, it can capture daily learning and inquiry processes. It makes it super simple to share curiosities formed during provocation exploration and whole-group brainstorms. Images and video of learning (in action) are great artifacts of the inquiry process, so if parents are invited to join your Seesaw class, they can also join in on the inquiry journey of your students. bit.ly/k6inquiry

Digital Lesson Planning with Google Slides

Placing your daily lesson plans in a Google Slide deck can help your day flow more smoothly. It can help organize key pieces from learning from links, text, rubrics, photographs, video clips, etc. The flow of learning can continue even with those invariable sidetracks that happen to all of us. We will take time to create a plan for a lesson, for Monday, or for the whole week ahead of you.

You should already be comfortable with creating and editing simple slide decks in order to get the most out of this session.
