Ready to transition your summer reading program to a more digitally-based process?

Building Independence with Google Classroom Activities

Any educator would agree that all students learn in their own way, but if there is one similarity amongst all students, it's that practice is key! Students tend to perform better after repeated opportunities for practice coupled with targeted feedback. When you have a large group of students at different skill levels, you can feel overwhelmed with supporting each individual student’s journey. Google Classroom practice sets can be part of the solution. Join us as we walk through how the practice set feature within Google Classroom is just one way you can help your students become a little more independent!

We will also explore how Google Meet can help students and parents stay up-to-date with assignments, announcements, and daily lessons.

Using Pear Deck for Google Slides

Join us as we walk you through the basics of Pear Deck.

We’ll also explore how you can use Pear Deck to create formative assessments that will engage every student in your class and give you a better understanding of which students are stuck, who’s ready for more, and what’s confusing them!
