Using Screencastify to Provide Special Ed Accommodations

However, you may still be struggling with figuring out how to make your assessments more reliable and accessible for your Special Education students.

We'll also share book lists and reflection activities to keep students reading during the summer months and prevent that summer slide!
Using Google Meet to Record Screencasts and Daily Messages
During times of remote learning, how can we share important information with our classes? Google Meet allows us to create daily screencasts and messages! In this session, we’ll take you through the steps of setting up a Google Meet on a daily basis and go over some different strategies for recording screencasts. 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!
