Is summer almost over?

At least we’re not here yet.

Try everything….no need to ask...just go…..

What if I Already Know this One?

Check email, help others, use restroom, eat, refine yours….

We’re at various levels, let’s see….

Finding Home…..What is Yours? Does it do the job?

Let’s Start With Looking at Our Home Spaces

Make notes regarding changes you may want to make on the

flowchart provided.

The Big Picture...Organized and Works in Flow…

● Communicates outside of email, phone calls and newsletters

● Collects data to an organized source where teaching, re-teaching and assessing are able to flow and connect.

● All connections create engagement for students

● Students develop independence in their learning

Disorganized and Lack of Flow….

● Too many places you need to check for student success

● Students must create many bookmarks or download lots of apps

● Engagement is less while students and parents struggle with confusion

Student Engagement1. Students work with at least some desire to

learn or do their best2. Students feel compelled to move on

without teacher prompting3. Students ask for guidance as needed 4. Students can communicate with you more

than orally5. Students collaborate6. Students have multiple ways to show

success and are enthusiastic to show others what they’ve done

Let’s list things you’ve used that are very student engaging….

I’ve Learned So Much I’m Lost or I’ve Not Been Given the Training to Fully Utilize What’s Available….

“This workbook is AMAZING! I’m riveted.”

“ So I’m thinking Mrs. Six said I need to grab my audience in this first line. I’m REALLY motivated! Let’s see….”

Edit what I wrote? Not happening

Run copies for another grammar sheet? Seriously….

Failing is Part of the Process

Getting Started: Let’s volley1. Share your Gmail with someone near you.

2. Create a document and title it your first name.

3. Begin typing something about yourself making mistakes every so often.

SharingTeach students how to share….

● Is it okay to share with

classmates?

● How do I find my teacher’s

email?

● How do I see what changes

were made if in edit?

Let’s Practice….

Open your gmail or check your shared drive.

Let’s edit content first…

Now we will edit grammar, usage and mechanics

Tips to remember:

● Get that document in your drive

● Teach them to only share under your circumstances

● You can set the share to not show in your email

● You can use Google Classroom to save once at a time.

Where do we collect data?

How do we control content and

types of answers?

Spreadsheets Created For You….Every form creates a data bank….

What can we learn from this data bank….?

Is there more we can do to make data use-

ful?

Scratch?
