Reflect on 2021 - Make a Family, Classroom, or Student Newsletter With Google Applied Digital Skills

If you’ve been following me during the months of December and January the last several years, you know that I love to take a short break from my content to get students reengaged in learning after our December holiday break. I love to ask my students to “Reboot their Noggins” when we get back. 

Here are a few samples from this year.
Today I wanted to share what I think is another great resource. The Google Applied Digital Skills Curriculum has a great lesson to help students reflect and share as we say goodbye to 2021. While this lesson is focused on creating a family newsletter, it could easily be adapted for students to create a classroom or personal reflection for 2021.

I think of this activity as something similar to one of those holiday cards I always receive that recaps a family’s year. How awesome could it be to have students reflect on their year by creating something similar?

You could always start from scratch or Google Digital Skills Curriculum is ready to help teachers and students with a ready to use lesson.|


This activity could be adapted in so many different ways, it could even be used to reflect on the topics and themes for a school or classroom this school year. 

If you’ve never explored Applied Digital Skills Lessons, this video is a great place to start. 


Please let me know if you have any questions? How would you use this activity with students? #HappyLearning

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...
