1. Google Slides & Your WebCam-Alice Keeler is one of the top Google Educators out there. I love following her on Twitter (@alicekeeler) because she posts such wonderful ideas! Recently, she tweeted about incorporating a webcam recording directly into a Google Slide using her Chrome Extension. This could be used in a bunch of different ways! You could put project guidelines into Slides and add yourself elaborating or use it to give directions when you have a substitute in your classroom.
2. TweetDeck-I've mentioned this program before, but I feel that it's worth mentioning again! TweetDeck is an extremely useful website that helps organize your Twitter feed so that you don't miss what's most important to you! Check out this tutorial to get started! 3. Grammarly-Grammarly is a Chrome extension that checks your grammar and spelling in open response formats. It works with any website that you type in! In the case it does not work well with a website (thank you Kim Salyards for finding that it does not play nice with Kahoot), you can turn it off for that particular website. Just click on the Grammarly icon in your Chrome Extensions bar and turn it off for the website you are using.

1. Rearrange Classes in Apple Classroom-Apple Classroom pulls our course names from PowerSchool, so we can't make edits to the names. In order to keep track of your classes, you can rearrange them to match your schedule. In Apple Classroom, click on 'Edit' in the top right-hand corner. The classes will wiggle (similar to apps on your iPad) and you can tap and drag them in order.
2. Quizlet-Quizlet has come out with two new features this summer. The first is the Learn Feature. This feature is an adaptive practice that responds to correct and incorrect answers. It focuses on student mastery of the content. The second feature allows teachers to label a diagram. This can be used in almost every subject! 3. Google Calendar Search-Searching in Google Calendar is a super quick way to find meetings! Just type your keywords into the search bar and let Google do the rest! It will generate a list view of any events that match your search. You can even use the drop down arrow to filter your search results. Check out the pictures below! 1. Flippity-You might remember Flippity from previous years. It originated as a way to generate a Jeopardy game for your classroom. Since then, it has evolved way past that! It now has many different activities and games that can be created using a Google Spreadsheet. If you use Quizlet, you can simply copy your terms from the export page and paste it into a GoogleSheet and voila, you are ready for Flippity!
2. Learner Dictionary-Having students find definitions for academic words or STEMs is a natural part of our classrooms. Students, however, are not always skilled at finding a definition that they can understand. Try using a Learner Dictionary for common English definitions. 3. Google Translate-Denisse brought up the Google Translate app at our last staff meeting. This app allows you to take a picture of handwritten work and translate it to English. Below is an example! |
