We can use Tumblebooks, You Tube, On Library. The things we used have to be checked out by our technology to make sure these sites don't use student information for data. It is a life saver. We aren't grading but when my students upload, I give them 100 to motivate them because they met the objectives. We only use letters for grading M=mastering, P=progressing. And we are expected to give feedback to all of our 560 students within a 7 day period.

I have been asked to keep it simple. A video, maybe a book and a project. I also created "Explore More" that is optional but students and families can explore more. This week for 2nd grade I did the lesson on Cave Art of Lascaux. I found a virtual tour into Lascaux 2. I made google slides with information on the boys and dog that found the cave. I included two books from You Tube that related to it. The project was to crumble a paper and then color it with a brown crayon like the cave and I asked the artists to draw animals. They upload them and I comment on all (560) students. The benefits is I seem to be able to share more because there's no interruptions; fire drills, assemblies, behavior issues. It also takes more time to do all this but it is so fun to share so much. Good news once their made I am making a library. I also hear the district may have us do this during snow days. I hope we don't have to make up the snow day then.
