Logon to Distance Learn Resources

Logon on the Amplify the normal way. I hope the normal way for you is to logon to NYC DoE, not by giving your Employee ID Number. The Employee ID Number is linked to your private information in the DoE.
Click on the three bars on the upper left of the window.
Click on Program Hub on the bottom (you have to scroll all the way down).
Click on "I am a teacher." I know we are all leaders, too, but here that is what they mean.

In this section, they describe the different units and have some helpful videos.

Please not that the units are in different grades than we are used to. For example, the Microbiome (7th grade NYC) is in the 6th grade. Right now, only the introductory units are available. The other units will be avialable in Sept. 2020 or later. I think they are trying to come out with one unit per grade per month.

I beleive that they shortened the units so that there are fewer lessons in each unit than originally scheduled.

Videos: Hands-On Investigations

Amplify made videos showing the hands-on investigations that you can share with the kids.

Unit Extensions

Unit Extensions are different things you could do. They are helpful.

Support Materials

Amplify made two types of support materials. First are handouts that you can download as PDF and as a Google Doc. The cool thing about the Google Doc is tha you can edit it. Additionally, the kids can edit it if you share it with the kids. You can also break it up into chunks if you are going to take more than one day for the lesson.
You also have slides as PDFs and as Google Slides. Likewise, you can edit the Google Slides.

Videos

If you scroll down to the Lessons, there are videos showing the lessons. In theory, you can show these with your kids, but what I am planning on doing is using the videos as demo videos. But they are very helpful. However, they are too long - >30 minutes a day. This will drive the kids nuts. I prefer to have activities with NearPod.
