I am so proud that I know how to edit a video and can cut out the parts I don't like. I can't tell you how many times I have started a recording over because I messed up. So glad that I learned this new trick!

CHOICE, VOICE, OWNERSHIP, and AUTHENTIC learning experiences using Google Sites 👉
“Is this for a grade?” How do we shift our students’ mindsets into owning their learning? I believe it’s through the use of the COVA model. Choice, Ownership, Voice, and Authenticity. Used appropriately, Google sites just so happens to provide these elements. My students are using Sites to showcase their learning through ePortfolios. They display slides, podcasts, videos, and blogs. But WAIT! It’s not just for students. Are you showcasing who you are as a learner, how about as a teacher? Come explore and create your own Google Site in this hands-on learning experience.
