Start with Seesaw TSTs

 Hi there!  I always love sharing Seesaw, especially with our Preschool-2nd grade teachers!  It is such an age appropriate place for student learning, it is one you will use well this fall and beyond, even when we are back to face to face instruction one day in the future.

Although I am not able to process and post videos right away, I hope the Google Slides of the TST presentations are helpful to you.  

Mission Control (go to the Blast Off page of the site) is always ready for you with videos from the spring.  Recordings of my sessions, sure, but the good stuff is in the collab-o-ramas where you can hear how teachers use tools in the classroom.  The slides and videos are on the Mission Control page

Last week we had two sessions. The first was designed for people brand new to Seesaw to understand how it works in general, and the second session, we looked closely at how Activities are a nice way to manage student tasks and work.

Session 1 (Google Slides) and Session 2 (Google Slides) if you like the slides links, or you can flip through them below.

If you want to know more about Seesaw, the pioneer program (click here for more info) is a fantastic way to get Seesaw training that will show you how to use the full potential of Seesaw to impact your students. You don't have to BE and expert, this is so you can know MORE.

Happy Seesawing!  Be good to yourself and enjoy your students!

I'm not a blogger... yet

How many times have you thought of the things you are not?  I do it more often than I wish I did. So, as I keep wresting with the most efficient way to get answers and share resources, a blog seems to be the thing that makes the most sense.  Sending tech newsletters is good, but it is hard to refer back to.  Answering emails is great, but that means helping one person at a time. Sometimes that is necessary, and I do love email, but maybe pointing you to a blog post will help get all the info you need efficiently-- without the email back and forth conversation. But.... I'm not a blogger.  Yet.  Darn that growth mindset... So, here is my suggestion--- subscribe to the blog and you will get emails when I put up a post.  I promise I will make the post titles clear and not fancy so you will know if it is useful to your or not.  If it is, read it!  If it isn't, delete the email and move on.   Do I know how you subscribe to the blog?  N...

Howdy!  It seemed like such a cool idea to have a quick comparison of Google Meet and Zoom, and then I realized it is a lot to get my head around! There are so many possibilities and I don't have all the answers.  But I know, between us, we probably have plenty of good ideas and experiences.  So, here are the slides as a starting point. Feel free to leave your tips and other things that have been working for you in the comments below. Top image from Pixabay Slides template from Slidesmania.com Gifs in presentation from giphy
