In our post-COVID-19 era of teaching, it is necessary to be flexible enough to be able to deliver comprehensible content for students via a variety of online means. I have been lucky to have prior experience using a wide variety of resources and websites to do just that. Here is a snapshot of some of the classes i pre-made for delivery. Live classes through Google Hangouts, Zoom and other Skype are not able to be included here for privacy reasons.
Nearpod Examples:
Tour of Orchard Park and Review of "To Be"
(n.b. there were more but unfortunately I was capped at only keeping 4 lessons total by the website)
Other websites and software I used during this time to develop interesting and interactive classes:
Padlet - this one is a goodbye board from my students to me as the 2020 school year was cut short
Screencastify - Used to record slideshows or websites in action (you can see above)
ABCYA - often accompanied by listening instructions for students to follow and then screenshot results of games
iMovie to edit all videos for the students
Kahoot - Here's one on Possessive Pronouns in Primary School, One to review Modal verbs in ESO, and a fun Christmas quiz for both general knowledge and listening skills
Quizlet
NewsELA - a resource to find interesting and relevant texts which are appropriately leveled.
Many phonics websites including Starfall and Reading Rockets
Google Hang Outs and Zoom
Tour of Buffalo using Google Maps
