Happy Thanksgiving week! The Instructional Technology Team is very thankful for the teachers in AISD that continue to transform their instructional practice and develop authentic ways to engage students using the available technology in the classroom!
Holiday Activities via Google Classroom!
In an effort to demonstrate Google Classroom to teachers and students, The “Holiday Classroom!” class is being shared with all teachers and students in AISD. Simply joining the class will provide teachers and student access to a few Google Apps activities created for the holiday season. Students will automagically get their own copy of the activities after joining the class.
(*Teachers, see important note below.)
Students and teachers can go into the AISD Cloud and search for Google Classroom. Once open, click the + sign at the top right to select Join. Join this class using the code, “5adyiv”. Students can immediately begin working on any activity in this Holiday Classroom! by just clicking on the assignment title and then on the activity.
The process of joining will create a copy of all activities in a new folder in your Google Drive called “Classroom”. Inside that folder you will see all classes that you have joined, including “Holiday Classroom!”
*Important: A quick-start guide to using Google Classroom can be found at: http://bit.ly/
One of the activities included is a Thanksgiving-themed "What I Am Thankful For" Google Slide. Simply adding text to this slide completes the activity, but students can explore other tools within Slides as they become more familiar with this creation tool. Check out the activity at: http://bit.ly/thanksgivingslide .
Leave a comment or feedback on these activities or implementation strategies that you found helpful. We would love to share your feedback with other teachers.
