Worried that students will experience emotional trauma in a social distancing classroom? In my experience (3 days), it’s what you make of it. If you make it a positive experience the students will embrace it. Here, a student wanted to create a handshake with our cardboard hands. pic.twitter.com/Q6v6Ysd8LF

When working with students that may struggle to breathe through a difficult circumstance or problem, I love @GoNoodle‘s Rainbow breath. Even if students just listen, it helps calm and incorporates breathing.

I created this site for you to learn about Google Apps and a variety of tech tools available to you.
For Google apps (see tabs) I included several tutorials from the past 6 months because Google changes things so quickly. I tried to include a beginner (note: I even learned things watching the beginner) and intermediate video.
Below you will find a list of tools that are available to you – some are free and some we purchase.
As always, please let me know if you
- need more information
- have something specific you want to work on
- have a lesson you want to digitize
- need ideas to infuse with technology
And if you come across something awesome you think I should add, please let me know!
