I told my students about this post, and many of them used the Curve tool for the first time as well as other shapes, to invent a new holiday candy. We are learning a lot from @shapegrams!

"Would you rather..." questions are a great opportunity to teach quick tech tips, like "drop shadow". (Thanks to the teacher who shared their "Would You Rather-Winter Edition" slide deck on Facebook. #ilove5thgrade

I started to clean up my desktop and stumbled upon this treasure of my class during our @spheroedu World Series last October. This video is the epitome of my class - so full of life! #ilove5thgrade #studentcentered #letthemlead #5Cs

I am using #jamboard for Compliments for Classmates as a fun student keepsake. Students will each make a copy of master with all class names and save file in shared folder. Classmates will write compliments for 5 classmates a day over the next 2 weeks. #SEL #5thgradememories

And because I am obsessed with @SlidesManiaSM, I used their really cool Choice Board template as the Compliments Hub in place of the word doc I originally created. Students can add their own hyperlinks. I could also make a copy and use it to link their digital portfolios.

I tweaked @gregkulowiec's template just a tad. Thank you for sharing. Add your own Meet hyperlinks to the icons. docs.google.com/presentation…

I used another cute template by @SlidesManiaSM for a fun activity. We are reading Ungifted by Gordon Kormon, and the students created a robot. I used my @Bitmoji to write comments in their slides. slidesmania.com/scrapbook-fr…
