Google Suite

I like tech which supports education—not supplants education.  Digital Choice Boards may or may not support rigorous education.  You decide.  Here is an example for high school and here are elementary examples.  I want content not gimmicks.

I love to use tech to teach.  Right now my Co-op class is working remotely.  I maintain a blog with notes about assignments.  Additionally, I am video-taping lessons on YouTube.  Blogger and you-tube are part of Google Suite.  If you have a gmail account, you have free access to Drive storage, Docs, Sheets, and Slides.  Another resource, Google Classroom, is a phenomenal tool.  Originally, I used Classroom for grades.  Gradually, I posted assignments and links for kids to make up missed class work.  Now that I am teaching remotely, I organized lessons into blocks with videos, worksheets, labs, and tutorials.  You can use Classroom to make homework assignments.  I use Classroom as a digital portfolio, too.  I try to copy essay documents or photos of quizzes and work as links and post them with the assignment and grade on Classroom.  This makes it much easier to organize a digital portfolio to submit to an online school.  Take a look.
