Google Classroom Scripts You Can Use. DocStickers: A Docs + Keep Integration for Old School feedback. Today, I'm excited to tell you about DocStickers! If you can give me 90 seconds of your time, this video is worth a watch! Otherwise, continue below. I remember getting papers back with stickers and stamps as a kid. While I may not remember the specific assignments and what I learned from them, but I remember how it made me feel when I saw a sticker or stamp on them. While my teachers were just taking stickers from a page and adhering them to all of the student papers, it meant something because they took them time to do it.
They didn't have to do it, they cared enough to do it. With most of my assignments having gone digital, I still want to be able to bring this joy to my students. Brought to you by the wonderful integration of Google Docs and Google Keep. Some goodies for you to get started (links open in a new window): One thing I want to make VERY clear. There are many forms of feedback I utilize and this is a complement to written and/or verbal feedback. 12 Tools That Made The Biggest Difference In My Teaching - 12 Tools That Made The Biggest Difference In My Teaching This Year Rachelle Dene Poth There are so many digital tools available today to promote student learning in the classroom. The task is in figuring out what you need for your classroom. What could benefit your students the most? Over the past year, I took as many opportunities to learn as I could, spending time gathering information from reading books and blogs, staying active through social media in Twitter chats, Voxer groups, and by attending many conferences, both physically and virtually.
I created long lists of new ideas, new tools, and created new accounts for many digital tools and tried as many as I could. I am still a learner, and even though I rely on my PLN and these other professional development experiences, sometimes I find it more beneficial to take a risk and just try something new in class, and see what happens.

How-To Use QR Codes to Curate Resources for Students. If you’ve heard me speak about the power of scannable technology in education, or checked out my book, you might be familiar with my ACES Framework. The ACES Framework is the tool I use to discuss deeper learning with scannable technology.
When it comes to finding resources for your classroom, the C of the ACES Framework is all about curation. You can curate (handpick) resources by locating the best websites, videos and audio clips for your students. Once you’ve chosen your favorite online spots for students to visit connecting those links to a QR code is a quick way to get your curated resources into the hands of kids.

As regular readers know, I’ve begun posting my end-of-year “The Best….” lists. There are over 1,600 regularly updated lists now. You can see them all here. As usual, in order to make this list, a site had to be: * accessible to English Language Learners and non-tech savvy users. * free-of-charge. * appropriate for classroom use. * completely browser-based with no download required (however, I’ve begun to make exceptions for special mobile apps). Some sites I’m including this year are primarily geared towards teachers creating content for classroom use, but could also easily be used by students. It’s possible that a few of these sites began earlier than this year, but, if so, I’m including them in this list because they were “new to me” in 2016.
