HS - Language Arts - Students made videos in Kate's classroom as part of an assignment. Students used a variety of tools and methods but were all working towards the same learning goal. Kate did not have to be the expert of the tools as the students were given choices and were able to select those tools that best fit their needs.
HS - Language Arts - Senior Service Projects: As part of their senior Language Arts class, the students were to share out their work with their service project. A Google Form was used to collect their work and then it was posted on a Google Site using Awesome Tables. The Awesome Tables gadget allows you to easily sort or search through the entries and we used some formatting tools to make a button appear as the link to the resource.
