As an educator, not only do I teach lesson content, but I integrate 21st century skills within the curriculum. In distance learning, this is crucially important. Students have been thrown right into many technologies that were foreign to them not too long ago. Their ability to adapt is remarkable. Below are a few work samples, along with my Level 1 Google Educator certification. Student names and faces are blocked or cropped out. Right-click the images to expand.

See Saw

See Saw is an all-encompassing platform where students turn in the majority of their work. From See Saw, I can give assignments along with instructions and examples. In Distance Learning, I ask students to take pictures of assignments using their Chromebook's webcam, and then read their work in case the picture is illegible. Below is a pre-write to an informative book assignment. 

Padlet

Padlet is a platform that allows users to write short messages on a virtual bulletin board. I use Padlet to ask questions of the class, then prompt discussion from students' answers. Below is an example from a Social Studies lesson with the question, "What would it be like if there were no rules or laws?" I provided a sentence frame, monitored responses, then picked 4th column, 3rd response and 5th column, 1st repsonse to spark class conversation. 

Jamboard

Jamboard works similarly to Padlet, but its purpose differs in some key ways. Because it's a Google product, Jamboards can be easily assigned to students within Google Classroom. Most frequently, I've used them as a way to assign Phonics/Word Study assignments.
