I am looking for a little input from you. I have two questions in the form below that I'd love your feedback on. Please take a couple of minutes to respond to the very short survey below. It will help me determine what to include in my newsletters moving forward, as well as give me an idea on what types of collaboration interests you.

Thank you for your time!

This past Monday, we celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Epic! has a variety of books and some videos about Martin Luther King, Jr. Please visit the link below to access them. You or your students will need to sign in to use them.

Over the extended weekend, a colleague of mine, Emily Heideman, shared a website called "Storytime with Ryan & Craig". She stated "They share books in a very silly way. My kiddos love it!". Here is the link to their website. Below is the link to their YouTube Channel. Enjoy!

This weekend, I was scrolling through X looking for ideas and to see what is new in the field of education and librarianship. In my scrolling, I found this post by Shannon McClintock Miller who is the District Teacher Librarian at Van Meter School in Iowa. I thought this might be a great idea for us here as well.

In her blog post, she explains how this idea came about when a classroom teacher wanted to "create a place where her students could find several curated topics to write about throughout the month. We brainstormed how a choice board would be perfect for this idea" (Shannon McClintock Miller). Shannon curated resources from Capstone Connect and created a choice board using Google Slides. She shared the link to the slides with the teacher who then shared it to the students. This is similar to what I have done for different grade levels research topics and the Heritage Months.

If you would like me to create a choice board for your students to use for reading, writing, research or other ideas you have, please let me know. I am more than happy to curate and create a choice board for you and your students.

Matt Miller is the creator of the website/blog called Ditch that Textbook. He has a plethora of digital tips and tricks for a variety of different things including Google related products. In the video below, Matt shows you how you can create an activity in Google Slides where students can move items around to answer or complete the activity. Many of us know that this is possible using Seesaw, but for those more interested in doing something like this in Google Slides and then uploading it to Google Classroom, this may be the ticket for you.

Gina does a great job of emailing Tech Tips each week. If you missed one or want to refer back to previous tips, please click on this link. Thank you to Gina and Ed for putting these together!

Seesaw put together a collection of activities dealing with Martin Luther King, Jr. Please click on the link below to check them out and perhaps find one for your students to do.
