iCurio and Google Classroom

Have you been using Google Classroom? Many teachers and students are enjoying the convenience of using Google Classroom to push out and turn in assignments, to hold student resources (like rubrics, anchor charts, etc.), and to flip classrooms. Did you know that iCurio now connects to Google Classroom? You can assign any resource found in iCurio through your Google Classroom. Here is a brief video that demonstrates how to move iCurio content into Google Classroom.

There are a number of digital resources available in our district. Sometimes it is difficult to remember how to access them all! Go to CurTech, to the Technology Resources page and find your resource.

Writing to Learn - from Edutopia

Edutopia published a wonderful blog post: Low-Stakes Writing: Writing to Learn, Not Learning to Write This blog post gives practical ideas for incorporating writing across the day at any grade level and in any content area. The goal for writing is to get kids writing as much as possible - so much, that it is near impossible to keep up with them! The more they write and publish to an authentic audience, the more authentic feedback they can receive. All of the ideas in the blog post align to and can be combined with our district's writing supplemental resource: The Common Core Writing Book (K-5) The Common Core Writing Book (6-8) If you do not have a copy of the book for your grade level, please contact the Teaching, Learning and Innovation Department to get a copy.

Using the DOODLE BUDDY APP in Math

Some classes are creating subtraction number stories using the Doodle Buddy App! Students use the stamps in Doodle Buddy to create the picture of their story and then use the pen in the app to cross out stamps and write their number sentence. Students can then take a screen shot and put it in their google drive to share with their teacher. Take it one step further! Have students put their Doodle Buddy picture in Explain Everything, Educreations, Tell About This or Write About This so that they can record their explanation of their number story. Now teachers have evidence of the student’s thinking and can plan for the next step in moving that student along in their understanding of mathematical concepts! Works great for addition number stories, too! Model creating number stories with whole class Students work independently or collaboratively to create number stories Students take screen shot to save their work
