Teacher feedback:
- I used this in my hybrid classroom. It was a huge hit with the students and allowed me to give them the information in a new way instead of listening to me talk. Very well laid out and throughout to help students with their understanding,
- My students used this resource when I was absent, and a supply teacher was present. It was a GREAT reinforcement of concepts we had previously covered :)
- This was a great resource for my 4th graders to use as we learned about Earth's layers. We read through it as a whole group and practiced using full screen, then answering in edit mode. So not only were we learning content but also learning how to navigate technology.
- This resource was just what I was looking for to end Earth's layers! Had my students work in groups and breakout rooms and complete it together, and they absolutely LOVED it! They had so much fun sharing their screens and filling it out on their own! Thank you!
