Upcoming Online Professional Devlopment

 As the school year starts to wind down (can you believe it's already April?!), most teachers are busy helping their students prepare for end-of-year assessments. With that in mind, I will be offering several online classes called "One-Hit Wonders" to help teachers learn how to leverage a variety of digital tools to assess student learning. Each mini-course starts focuses on ONE tool and a WONDER statement.


Flipgrid
Have you ever wondered how you can assess your students' metacognition, reading fluency, or content knowledge by listening to each one of them respond to your prompts? In this One-Hit Wonder, you will learn how Flipgrid can allow your students to share their thinking through video posts in response to a discussion topic.


Edpuzzle
Have you ever wondered how you can transform your teaching from "sage on the stage" to "guide on the side" to support every student's learning? In this One-Hit Wonder, you will learn how Edpuzzle can help you deliver video-based instruction for students to consume at home or in-class, holding them accountable with your own assessment questions and allowing you to use class time more efficiently.
Nearpod
Have you ever wondered how you can present information to your students and assess their understanding in real-time? In this One-Hit Wonder, you will learn how Nearpod can help you deliver content-rich presentations to students and check for understanding through a variety of interactive questions.
Padlet
Have you ever wondered how you can set up a collaborative "bulletin board" for you and your students to share ideas? In this One-Hit Wonder, you will learn how Padlet can provide you and your students with a virtual canvas to curate and share notes, links, files, images, videos, and audio recordings all in one spot.
