In continuation of PechaKucha resource, Tom Zuzulock has shared the following resource if you want to use them.  Thanks Tom Z!

PechaKucha master slideshows designed for PowerPoint and Keynote, each with a title card, 20 content slides, and a place for works cited info. The slides have preset timings for auto-advance and also have a "practice timer," which is a small dot that moves across the screen starting at the 15 second mark to help students practice their PechaKuchas. You could add it to the resources folder if you want them. The key is, that they are downloaded and used in that format, or the timings/practice-timer may get broken, say if used in Google Docs. Here is the link to resource folder.  

============================================================================

Holly’s QR Fitness Project is a good exemplar to collect the student videos in an interesting way.  Her Fitness class chose a fitness exercise, learned how to demonstrate the exercise correctly (form, cues and various ways to perform exercise), film a video of the student performing exercise.  Upload the videos to the Youtube channel, make the privacy settings “unlisted”,  create a QR Code for the video link and post in the shared document.  Here is the document with the student work.  Enjoy and see how you can modify it to suit your classroom.  Thanks Holly for sharing the project idea and the student work with us.   If you need more information on how to do this, kindly email me.

Cool Resource and Tool/s:

Online Rubric is a Google Spreadsheets Add-on that enables to you create rubrics, enter scores, and email scores to students all from one place. Online Rubric provides very clear instructions for each step of the processes of creating a roster sheet, creating a rubric, and emailing grades to students. For more information, click here.

As Semester Exams are almost here, here is https://www.goconqr.com/ which allows users to create mindmaps, notes, flashcards and quizzes and to share study materials with other goconqr users.  Have students share their review materials with you so that you can make sure they're on the right track in their preparation for an exam.

--Have a wonderful week!--
