Master Plan: This week, please check out this video/task plan from Kim Foley at Fonseca! LINK TO VIDEO KIM MADE!

Plugged IN for ELLs: 

Here are THREE COOL things you can either Do for ELLs or have them do themselves.. check them out!  I will be running through these in PLC on Wednesday.

All ACCESS Pass: Above are some aaaaaamazzing, yet simple steps to help all students with acquiring info from your online tutorials/PPTs/etc..

  • Closed Captions in a Google Slideshow!  Yup, you can simply open one of your PPTS in the Drive, hit "present" and then click on "CC."  When you speak, everything you say is typed in at the bottom of the screen.. BOOM.  So, if you are using ScreenCastify, you would hit record, present the PPT while speaking and now the text will come up! For our ELL and Sped students, who may need that extra reinforcement of the complex language, this is huge!
  • Voice Typing!  Why didn't I have this when I was writing my thesis?  Ugh.. so all kids have to do is: Be in a google doc, have the mic on, go to "tools," then "voice typing," and click on the mic.  When they speak (clearly and slowly) it will type for them...  This is a scaffold that can build up confidence with ELL students as they acquire language.. So, for anything arts related that you are asking, students can respond this way, and then post it in GC!

K-5 Art: I will be working on getting an "Art Locker" for you to have at your office so that parents can come pick up supplies for art projects.  This will be a bin, basically that we can put a sign on (see below) for safe keeping of supplies for Remote Learners.  

K-5 Music: QUAVER Stuff... Our own Marilyn Prodnick was caught being awesome on Twitter!  Quaver showcased her Tweet in their weekly email to everyone on the planet!!!  Yay!



Middle School Music Shout Out: 6th graders at Talbot finished up their "Soundtrack of My Life" projects, incorporating SEL with Music. Several students became teachers as they shared their own "best practices" and feedback on each other's Slides presentations!
