EmpowerRI Conference

Just presented at the Empower RI Conference with my West Warwick Colleagues.  So proud to work in such an amazing school district!  Great opportunity to share ideas and answer questions about blended learning in a K-2 classroom.

Have you heard the news....

So Google has added a wonderful tool for K-2 kiddos in the tool pull down bar.   It is called Voice Typing.  Kids can click on the microphone that pops up and it will type everything they say!!!  This will be a wonderful tool for publishing writing pieces.  Students can write their piece and voice typing will publish it in a google document.  They can insert the piece  into Google Draw and  illustrate it.  Thank you Google.

Blended Learning Strategies for the K-2 Classroom

SMORE

Today I started to use Smore.  It is a free and easy way to create your own classroom newsletter.  After you create your letter you can share the link with parents using the RemindApp.  Here is the link to my recent newsletter:  Room 103 News
Parents can comment on it and you can see how many people visit your newsletter.

Made a change to my Bears on The Bus place value activity.  Instead of rolling dice, kids will click on the die and it will take them to virtual dice to roll.  You can use this recording sheet to record their rolls.
