September 2021 edition

Welcome to Tiger One, the online collection of K-12 technology resources that can be integrated into any classroom.

Are you looking for a way to improve your grading through rubrics? How about an easy way to make a lesson plan (or use a premade one already aligned to standards)? Try ThemeSpark. It's a FREE app designed to help teachers create meaningful lessons and rubrics based on skills and standards of knowledge. Say goodbye to grades that leave students and parents asking - "What exactly did I learn?" and say hello to "Now I know exactly what I'm good at and what I need help with." ~KG

In our November 2020 edition, I shared how audio can be added to Google Slides. But to add audio, you need to have audio downloaded first. So, I downloaded some great Royalty Free Music from BENSOUND and added them to this folder. Share it with your students, and they can use any of the audio clips in their slides! ~AO

Use the Google Slides Add-on Creator Studio to transform a Google Slides presentation into a GIF, Video, or SlideCast. ~AO

Want to leave audio feedback or record yourself reading a question? Check these out:

Also, you can use the Talk and Comment extension to record your voice and insert it almost anywhere, so a play button appears. Great for Google Forms, Emails, Webpages, and more! ~AO
