TCC 7-1 Cindy's Links

Always short and sweet here are this issue's finds.
Things Google:
Google as a portfolio site provider...
Sites and Drive work together. The teacher makes the overall site adding pages appropriate to the type of information the students will add. Then publishes it as a template and the students customize from there. Link to how...collaboration is possible.
My favorite Google teacher,
Alice Keeler tells how to use Google Keep to  turn paper handouts into digital on the fly.
I already mentioned one of the parts of this
Google for Education post  in the TCC 7-1 Old, but Golden post in the  section about Remind., but other things here include Classroom’s mobile app, Expeditions, and more. One of the more features is a Chrome app that will allow wireless mirroring of devices 1-to-1 called Cast for Education. Expeditions offers virtual field trips with 3D viewers...this one isn’t free...Cardboard viewers us smart phones for a BYOD less expensive option. There are 3D videos on YouTube.
This last Google item is
a testimonial to an Alice Keeler post about making collaboration space specific for students. It is from a teacher, Christy Monge who tried giving each student a page named for them in the document (slides, in this case) Read and view the result of this hint.
Things Other than Google:
A launch page with links has become
Hyperdocs??? A blog post if this is new to your...here.
Differentiation is an education buzz word.  We are to give students the opportunity to learn the way best for them.
But listening to read??? Look as the post on whether this is cheating. Audio books can help many students absorb material they would not get from a book.
ENJOY!
