Digital Learning Day
is on Wednesday, February 5th
Digital Learning Day is about giving every child the opportunity to learn in a robust digital environment everyday, with the goal of success in college and a career
During this event, I thought it would be a cool idea to use a new and/or different tool in your classroom.
Some of the ideas I was thinking are
- Backchanneling using Today’s Meet
- Instead of writing, have students participate in a digital classroom discussion.
- Give your room a name
- Select the duration of the room
- Hit ‘Create Room’ button
- Enter your name and press ‘Join’
- Enter your message and press ‘Say’
- Copy the URL address and paste it into Edmodo so the students can access it.
- Students do not need an account.
- The teacher would have to moderate it to make sure students stay on task.
Here is my discussion link I created for this event. https://todaysmeet.com/DigitalLDay
- easy to collaborate and share
- all students have accounts
- Have your students build a building, town, or city with this application.
- Recommend students to use the Chrome browser.
- Students do not need an account.
4. Flip your classing using Nearpod
- You can create a student response presentation and assign it to your students.
- Students do not need to create an account.
- Just share the presentation code with students and they will join it.
- Students can access your presentation on ANY device.
5. Collaborate with Kollaborate
- Build a discussion board with your students or small groups.
- Students can upload pictures and links with either of these tools.
- Great method for an exit ticket.
- will bring characters to life by documenting their journey.
- allows students to virtually follow along with a book.
7. Start Writing with Inklewriter
- Help students write and publish interactive stories.
8. Study with Quizlet
- Create flashcards, practice quizzes and games to help students study.
9. Create concept maps with Popplet
- Teacher will need to create an account.
- allow students to quickly go to a website by scanning a QR Code
- create book reviews or videos
14. Thinglink
- allows students to create interactive pictures.
- Can be used for landmarks, periodic table of elements, book/character reviews
- Many possibilities
Please participate in the TodaysMeet Discussion I started so that you can understand how backchanneling works. https://todaysmeet.com/DigitalLDay
