Google apps offer a powerful selection of tools for science educators and students. In this session, you will learn how to apply these tools to foster deeper learning, collaboration, experimentation, data collection, and work publishing. You will also be introduced to Arduino Science Journal, a free digital science toolbox that allows students to make observations, take photos and collect sensor-based data to record light, sound, and movement anywhere using an iPhone, iPad, Android, and/or Chromebook device.
Beyond Basics
Flexible Learning Q&A: Develop an Action Plan Beyond
Come to this session with questions you still have about Distance Learning or Challenges that you are facing. We’ll select a few strategies and tools to help you face your challenge. We’ll also talk about your next steps in learning and develop an action plan.
Creating Meaningful Assessments Beyond
You’ve got the basics down of how to create authentic online assessments? Great! Now in this session, we’re diving deeper into even more ways you can assess your students virtually. Get ready to maximize the tools you learned how to use in the Getting Started session and pick up even more techniques to continue to create accurate assessments for online learners. We’re also showing you how to take preventive steps against online cheating.
Creating Interactive Synchronous Lesson Beyond
Whether you’re creating synchronous lessons for 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or longer, it’s helpful to see actual examples of what this looks like. In this session, we’re walking you through a few examples of various synchronous lessons, and then we’re helping you build your own to maximize live instruction time. We’re diving deeper into best practices on pacing, transitions, as well as how to use a core selection of tools and resources to help you streamline your workflow, while still delivering high-quality instruction.
Creating Engaging Asynchronous Lessons Beyond
Go beyond the basics and learn how you can create dynamic asynchronous lessons to keep your students engaged week after week. As the school year progresses, it can be difficult to find new ways to refresh your asynchronous lessons to keep them interactive. In this session, we’re walking you through different tools, resources, and ideas you can use now or save in your teacher toolbox to be able to seamlessly refresh your lessons quickly and easily. We’re also diving deeper into lesson pacing and how you can continue to simplify your workflow to help you save time.
