One of my strengths as a teacher is my digital literacy & technology skills. I routinely use Google, Microsoft, and Apple apps to create material & resources for learners, as well as outside platforms such as Canva, Flipgrid, and Padlet. During the multiple periods of Distance Learning from 2020, I also took on creating a dashboard for daily / weekly assignments, schedules for individual teachers, and digital notebooks for learners to work on.
As a team member, my organisational skills have always been valued; from creating unit overviews to planning templates, I make sure there are documents and files ready to streamline the planning process for the team. Some of the documents I've created have also been used for school-wide alignment.
Below, I've divided some examples into 4 categories: scaffolds, planning, assessments, and distance learning. If you see something that you can use in your practice, please feel free to make a copy and edit as you see fit!
