WHY TEACH USING GOOGLE APPS?
Though many tasks can be done with paper and pencil, doing the same task through Google Apps can present greater opportunities for student learning. Google Slides can embed links to useful videos; Google Slides can enhance understanding with color diagrams, pictures and photographs; animation can also be embedded and use to demonstrate a concept. Most importantly, students are using 21st century learning tools that will prepare them for eventual online standardized testing.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Use it as a traditional Interactive Notebook.
2. Use it one slide at a time to compliment a specific lesson on adaptation.
3. Use it as independent work such as classroom work, project work, or even homework.
This Interactive Digital Notebook has been paired with Common Core State Standard for English Language Arts for grades 3 - 5 so that you can integrate it with Language Arts. All student slides are designed to have students research one particular aspect of adaptation (mostly structural adaptations).
Additionally, each slide includes 1 HYPERLINK to a trusted, reliable, kid-friendly free site that the students can use for research and information gathering in conjunction with the print resources you provide. HYPERLINKS include one ENGLISH language and one SPANISH language website.There are also HYPERLINKS to a VIDEO to use for research. The HYPERLINKS and VIDEOS are for English and Spanish language videos.
Please make sure your district/school/classroom has access to SafeShare or YouTube.
