Midwest Google Summit
Last week I had the opportunity to attend the Midwest Google Summit. This post is jam packed with resources. I have tried to break things down so you can choose which linked tools you may want to view and use.
1. Close Reading - This session focused on preparing the lesson with Close Reading, other strategies to support students in making meaning in close reading including using a survey to guide reading for during reading questions, and apps that are great tools to use for close reading. A few to highlight are the Read, Write app extension, and current event tools such as Dogo News, Newsela, Youngzine, and TweenTribune.
2. The Motherload of Mapping Resources - Motherload is a well organized stockpile of mapping resources for Google Maps and Google Earth:
Galleries of Google Maps - Highlighting a few resources, check out World of Wonders, Google Art Project, Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory, Underwater Streetview for World Ocean's Day
Tools & Educational Content - Indoor Maps is great for students mapping their environment at home or at school
