For this week's learning I decided to create a Jeopardy game that I would be able to use with students who are currently studying Ancient Greece. As I was using the master template, I thought about having students make their own Jeopardy games. I think it would be fun and motivating for them, and it would certainly make them learn about Ancient Greece. I've done a lot of presentation in Google Slides, but I learned a couple tips off the Beautiful and Awesome presentations videos and Kelly Fitzgerald, that I will definitely be using on my next presentation. My new learning was about master slides- this will make it much easier!
I really like idea of creating a collaborative ebooks. Publishing it on Issuu gives it that book feel, which makes it come alive. The "Big Red" stories were great! Now with Google Draw we could give students the option to hand draw or Google draw. We could also record their voices reading their stories. I'd like to take the ebook idea back and talk with my teachers to see how we might use them with students. I have a couple teachers in mind that I think would really jump on this idea.
Having students participate in projects like these, really utilize the great features of docs and slides. It is more engaging for students, taking them away from the tradition writing lessons we usually have them do. It also then allows their work to be shared with others outside the classroom, which we know that students will work harder on their projects if more than the teacher is viewing them. I have some great new ideas I can't wait to share with my teachers.
