    1. Sign in and stow your phones out of sight. Log into a Chromebook and complete the WYAW activities.

    2. Digital Stories: Confetti Compliments and Sharing in a Brave Space

    3. Google and Chrome go hand in hand and allow for some powerful tools you can use for your classroom including (Google) Classroom.
      IF YOU WERE NOT HERE ON THURSDAY, ADD INTO GOOGLE CLASSROOM
      • Search on Google Classroom, click the link, and log in with your class account. When you are in your Google Classroom dashboard, click the + (plus) to "Join a class". MAKE SURE TO ADD YOURSELF TO THE CORRECT SECTION USING THE CODE FOR YOUR CLASS.

        • EDEL 446-03 12:30
          Use code: zoiuudb
        • EDEL 446-02 2:00
          Use code: q2noevt

      • Let's explore the options using the example assignments posted (two add websites to Google Classroom, a Math game)

      • First, look at the materials from three websites shared to Classroom from the website. Teachers can add content from a website or web 2.0 tool (e.g. Quizlet) directly to Google Classroom using the "Share" option for that website >> Select Google Classroom and then choose the class(es) to which to add the resource. NOTE: You must be logged into your Classroom account for this to work.

      • Readworks.org is a powerful tool for building reading comprehension. It offers differentiated passages, support for EL learners, assessments and vocabularly support. We'll also do this in Google Classroom from a link with a code, but you can also import Google Classroom into your free Readworks account.

      • We'll do the NearPod activity together as a class. NOTE: Students can also use teacher created NearPods on an individual, self-paced basis. NearPod has tiers of options based on payment plans but the free or Silver option is still pretty powerful.
