Plugged IN:
This week, we checked in on two tools we discussed last week- Google Drawings and Screencastify.. I loved seeing you practice with these, and will include a Screencastify video again here for you, as well as a tutorial on how I use Google Drawings for planning for stuff!
ALL ACCESS Pass:
This week, in PLC we discussed how to use engagement tools- Screencastify and Google Drawings.
K-5 also has a Google Classroom to house resources that they will share- pandemic, schmandemic!
Hey, did you know that you can add "closed captions" to your videos? This can help to support learners that need that extra reinforcement for the instructions during a video. If you are in YouTube, you can click on the CC in the bottom right corner and then presto- automatic subtitles!
Think about it this way-
- Search a tutorial video (say chords on guitar)
- Click CC
- Press play
- In screencastify, press record
- Pause the video, ask your own question or give your own instruction, and then press play again to continue
- Rinse, repeat
We continued discussion on short tutorials to have students work at their own pace- as we saw in the study we looked at in PLC last week, this will help all learners to achieve the standard as they can go back and re-watch to learn the skill. Practice makes perfecto!
PLC Next Week:
