Pixton Comic Maker is a great digital storytelling tool that allows students to demonstrate their learning visually and customize the action and art in great detail and even find pre-made activities.
(We have 400 licenses available, so contact Heather or Xay if you would like to try it with your class.)
Lucidpress is a great for design tool for those adventurous teachers and students who want to take their docs to the next level. Lots of templates and full control of how you want a page to look.
It also features real-time collaboration, so you can edit together with a colleague or students.
(We have a number of educational licenses available. As long as you sign in with Google, you should be fine, but if you get a message that you've reached our cap, let Xay know.)
Matific is a wonderful tool for K-6 math students. It has great interactive games and lesson plans tied to Canadian Curriculum. If you just have students go to the site they will have access to some of the activities, but if you sign in as a teacher with your Google account and create a class code, you can manage their progress and unlock activities.
It works great on Chromebooks by going to the site, but also has Android and iOS apps as well. Click beside for a video about one of the activities.
Why We Need Coders
Why We Need Coders
At Buffalo Trail we are reimagining the stereotypical view of coding to be more about intellectually engaging our students. Coding is fast becoming a new type of literacy that should be available to everyone. Coding is the necessary tool of this century; becoming literate in code is as essential to being literate in language and math.
We want our students’ to be critical thinkers and reflect on their learning. Using coding in the classroom encourages collaboration, communication, innovation, problem-solving, and personal growth.
