WELCOME TO
As we navigate through these times of uncertainty, I know all teachers and staff are working hard to figure out the best methods to reach their students. We may not be together in the school building, but I am so impressed with the creativity that is being used to communicate and support students while they are at home. I have created this page to help students and teachers locate educational resources to support teaching and learning. I am receiving tons of resources through email and sometimes it can become overwhelming. My goal is to provide one resource or bit of information each day that may help you.
My friend, Kasey Bell from Shakeup Learning shared a student and teacher guide for Google Classroom. I know many of you use this resource already but, Kasey is fantastic at digging deep into a program or resource and finding things that I did not know.
Check out the links below. Please feel free to share with whoever you like.
Email me with any questions or suggestions. Until tomorrow, Be safe!
