Looking for ways to give students more ownership of their learning? Technology tools can support you and your students! Check out these tools to transfer and increase student ownership of procedures, routines and efficiency.
Have you tried Classroomscreen? This tool gives teachers and students access to all kinds of widgets to assist with time management, messages and visual reminders. For grades 2-5, students can also use this tool to help them learn how to manage their time on task, monitor their noise level (if using a Chromebook), sketch out answers on a whiteboard and more. I encourage teachers to make the link available through Google Classroom or simply bookmark it for quick access.
Have you checked out the dynamics of Google Keep? If you love sticky notes, this is the tool for you! It is available to you and your students in Google Apps. While in Slides or Docs, look for the icon on the right side of the screen to create a note right there with your document. Set up a reminder about the document or share the note with specific teachers or students to provide daily reminders or individual reminders. Organize notes with folders. It syncs with Google apps to help you and your students keep up with tasks, checklists or any type of note needed!
Increasing student ownership of the learning journey can be quite a feat! Classroomscreen and Google Keep are two must-have tools that allow teachers to transfer more responsibility to students by offering ease, convenience and visual stimulation to meet daily goals. It's a win-win for the classroom!
