Digitial projects for June

Matt Miller suggests in this post to end the year with a variety of digital projects.  From websites to infographics to student-created quizzes or curated sites- you will find something for your students.

This wasn't back to normal

This wasn’t the year I had hoped for-and perhaps not the one you had hoped for as well.  Here is a reflection video from Trevor Muir - author of The Epic Classroom  (shared by Stephanie Howell in one of my  Google groups).  After you watch- take a minute to reflect on your own school year. What do you know?

Star and template

Alice Keeler has some good end-of-the-year suggestions for keeping your Google Drive organized.  Please see her post here for her suggestions.

When the time comes…

As we get closer to closing out the school year, it’s time to think about cleaning up Google Classroom.  In this blog post from Sarah Kiefer, she shares several short videos and suggestions.  Topics (with videos that I felt were most important) are Returning Assignments and Archiving Classroom (Slide 5) and Cleaning up your Google Calendar (Slide 6).

Ideas for the end of the year

Creative Commons shares 30 suggestions for end of the year celebrations ( I know many teachers use Go Noodle- I didn’t know they had a celebration song!).  Some of the suggestions (i.e., Flipgrid) are not approved for use in the district.

It’s getting closer

With many of the schools in parts of the country counting down to the last day (not here in NJ!), posts like this one from MiddleWeb begin to appear with suggestions for the end of school.  While some of these suggestions might now be new, you might want to take a look.  I especially liked numbers 3 and 8.

Instead of showing a movie

The end is in sight- so finish strong- take a look at these suggestions from the Peardeck blog.  I really like the Pass the Rock idea.
