A Few of My New Favorite Virtual Learning Hacks (198)

Been taking lots of professional development courses- some Zoom style, some self-paced. I am learning a lot of cool tricks. Here are a few of my favorite.

1- https://youtube-clutter.org/  a way to trim educational videos so you can embed them into your platform and use as thumb nail clips in on-line quizzes/assessments.

2- Flipgrid for the classroom - so students can share their podcasts, videos's etc. Easy to get a great collaborative feed going for your classroom so they can reflect and provide feedback to one another in real time.

3- Gizmo's and Phet for simulations and virtual labs.

4- Master view on google slides- lets you fix items in place so when students interact they can only use certain text boxes to respond in. This is good for card sorts etc.

5-Virtual Graffiti talk on Zoom. Share a link to a live interactive slide- have students share their thought live on Zoom. Make sure they use a text box and not type onto the slide or they get messy.

6-Google emoji's search to add emoji's in virtual graphic organizers and card sorts.

7-Annotate pro. To use with speed graders. Just check it out. It creates feedback message buttons to stream line your student communication.
