Digital Study Resources for Students


We've put together a resource document sharing tools and resources for independent and collaborative student-centered learning and review.

The goal of the guide is the help students use digital tools to be self-directed and collaborative learners as they learn new concepts and review for classroom assessments.

We need your help. If you have a moment to look over the guide and provide any additional resources or suggestions, we would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Capturing Student Reflections in Google Slides - The Power of Exit Slips

" Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful. " Margaret J. Wheatley Exit slips or exit tickets are a type of formative assessment that can help both teachers and students reflect on the learning process. Students respond to a question the teacher asks at the end of class or activity. I also believe these reflective student experiences can help cement key concepts for all learners.

My students and their growth as humans are so much more important than the content or the test we will all take. Don't get me wrong, I understand my responsibility to engage students in content, but I try to remember that it is not the only thing. This post is about remembering that content is not the most important part of my students' lives. A few years ago I started a tradition of showing a funny, inspirational, or unique videos in class every Friday. While the videos were not always about being happy, we dubbed these our Happy Friday videos. I try to keep these short so we still have time for the Environment. I think the students looked forward to them almost as much as they did the weekend. I loved them because of the messages that were shared and discussed. Last year wi...

I am excited this week to be co-authoring a post with my friend and partner in all things EdTech Melissa Wilson . Melissa is an English teacher and Instructional Technology Coordinator at Neuqua Valley High School. We will be cross-posting this story on her blog “ #Whatsup Wildcats ”. If you’ve never had a chance to explore Melissa’s blog, I highly recommend that you change that today. Melissa provides some incredible insights about teaching and learning that happens every day at Neuqua. One of the perks of our profession is that we get to be lifelong learners and can use what we learn to enhance and transform instructional practices in our classroom. The best teachers are always looking for new ways to support all students. We believe that teachers need to find time to collaborate and share the awesome ways they are engaging students in the learning experience. With our busy schedules, it can be difficult to find time to share what we are doing in our classrooms with other teachers in...
