Use Google slides to create a stop motion animation project. Make sure you use the publish to web trick, select "change slides every 1 second" which is 1000 ms, and change that number to 100. This will auto play your animation at the correct speed.

• Want your kids to star in the animation? Simply have them upload a picture of themselves to remove.bg to create a .png image of themselves.
• Bump it up a notch by recording the animation with Screencastify.
• John animation
• Flipgrid to paste animation

You do not need a complete slide deck to use closed captioning, just have a topic slide and go!

• Parents have a hard time keeping track of everything their students are doing. Because of this I created a state of the classroom address to give a 60 second rundown of what was completed this week and what to expect next week.
• Star the latest post as a featured response to be seen first. For your name on each video put the week you are covering.
• You can now create a State of the Classroom Address from Flipgrid right off of a Waklet page! See a sample HERE!

See how you can create EdVenture choices within a Peardeck lesson for student choice or for a deeper dive into topic understanding.

This can also be done with Nearpod, you just need a Published Google slide with Hyperlinks to the EdVentures.

Dont have a whole Nearpod presentation, but you still want to be able to poll your class or ask questions in the Moment? Then create your very own "On the Fly" Nearpod session.

With help from Mercury Reader, we can grab the text from any online article and add it to an EDJI lesson. This creates an interactive annotation experience to allow student to collaborate and see each others thoughts on the article.

Use the same lesson for each class and have more perspectives on the article be seen.

Share that lesson with another teacher to see all other annotations.
