Earth Day 2022 - Exploring Our Planet Student Activity

Image
By

Last week I shared a collection of resources connected to Earth Day and I promised that I would share any lessons or ideas I created connected the resources.


For one of my classes, I am planning to use Pear Deck and Google Slides to facilitate a student centered HyperDoc connected to Earth Day. For another class, I am going to use one of the Google Applied Digital Skills Earth Day Activities.

A HyperDoc is an interactive Google Doc that replaces the worksheet/lecture method of delivering instruction. For this Earth Day Activity, I am using Google Slides and Pear Deck. (There is also a Google Slides only version below.)


Earth Day 2022 – Pear Deck Edition

I’ve minimized the instructions in the slide deck because I plan on working through this with my students. If my students were completing this without my help, I might include additional instructions in Google Classroom to help them work through this presentation at their own pace. 

Students will use Padlet to share their creations and comment on each other’s presentations. Wakelet is another great tool to share student work. 

If you don’t plan on using Pear Deck, here is a copy of the slide deck without the Pear Deck interactive questions.

If you have any questions or need any help, let me know. Also feel free to copy/modify this activity and as always if you have any suggestions or feedback, please let me know in the comments below.

All About Me - Heart Maps to Start the Year

By
I am always looking for creative ways to get to know my students. I also love creative ideas that we can use to introduce them to some of the tools we use throughout the year. The past several years I have modeled our use of Padlet with a 7 Pictures – All About Me Project. This year I was inspired by  Marwa Elkelani to try something a little different. We are going to start with some Heart Maps and get some practice with Google Drawings or Google Slides. A heart map is a visual map that uses drawing, text, shapes, and images to share feelings, people and places you love, memories, experiences, and more. These can be created on paper or digitally. I think Canva , Adobe Express , Google Drawings, or Google Slides could all be used to facilitate the creation of these digitally. I am going to focus on Google Drawings and Google Slides for this post. We use both Drawings and Slides to create during the year, so I love the idea of exploring these tools with students early in the school...
