By

Exams will be here faster than we know, so here are a few resources to help students organize, prioritize, and prepare for assessments.

Success on assessments is not just about studying harder, it is about studying smarter. The resources shared below can help all students prepare for success on assessments. 

Create A Plan to Get Started

Prep UP – Neuqua Exam Resources

The first step is always to have an plan and organize what you need to complete the plan.Organize your time and resources in order to plan for successPrioritize finals that can and will make a differenceVisualize the text/notes to fully comprehend what you are learningFinalize your understanding and make connections between concepts

The Auditory Learner

Written notes have always been a valuable tool to learn, but voice typing and recording your voice are powerful ways to learn and review.Voice typing in Google Docs is a quick way to add thoughts and essential concepts to your notes as you review activities or text.You can also record and share your learning by using quick recording resources like Flip, Screencastify, Soundtrap or another recording resource.

The part of the brain used to process words is quite small in comparison to the part that processes visual images. Sketchnotes and visual-notetaking are great ways to tap into how your brain processes visual information. Instead of just writing down a bunch of facts in a notebook use shapes and images to make connections as you learn and review. 

Use the Right Digital Tools


Concept and Vocabulary Review – Quizlet | Quizizz | Adobe Express | Google Slides Flashcard Template

One of the easiest ways to get started is by exploring vocabulary with flashcards. Students can make their own, or choose from millions of flashcard sets created by others. Students can use several study modes including multiple choice tests and study games.

Collaboration – Google Docs | Google Slides | Google Jamboard
Students can create online study groups using Google File Sharing. Students can collaborate through comments or directly. The side panel in Docs and Slides also connects to tasks, calendars, and Google Keep to organize time and resources.

Organization – Google Keep | Google Calendar
Create and share notes. Create checklists and reminders.

Video Connected to Concepts – Khan Academy | YouTube | TEDEd

Twitter Tips - The Power of Twitter Notifications and More Tools to Streamline Your Twitter Experience

By
I don’t know about you, but I always have a lot of Twitter FOMO. Not sure if this is a really thing or it is just me? I’ve always stuck to the model that if someone connected to teaching and learning follows me, I will follow them back. This has let me to some great follows, but it has also added more to my Twitter stream than I can follow most days.  Today, I wanted to share a few resources I use to streamline my Twitter experience. There are many great resources that can help organize and streamline Twitter, but today  I will focus on 4: Twitter Notifications, Twitter Lists, IFTTT, and Tweetdeck.  Twitter Notifications I have to admit that up until a few months ago, I never really used or looked at using the Twitter notification icon for some of my favorite follows.

The action of adding chili and spices is believed to make food more durable. The common and commonly used chili is red curly pink, although, in reality, this Balado dish with green chili is also no less popular. Actually, the use of the word Balado itself is used after the noun, ie, For example, Balado Fish can Fish + Chilli, Balado Gulai, then Saur Bayam Balado, and Dendeng Balado.
