Google Drawings as Graphic Organizers


Research proves that using graphic organizers improves student learning. (Read more about that in this Cult of Pedagogy article.) Did you know you could have students complete graphic organizers DIGITALLY?! Eric Curts gives us not only a tutorial but also 30 free templates to copy, modify or use as needed. Check out his tutorial and templates HERE.

TeacherLed.com

TeacherLed.com is a website full of teaching and learning resources. All are compatible with desktop and mobile devices and no subscriptions or log-ins are needed. Here are some of my favorites: Letter Reveal : Scratch off one box at a time as students guess which letter is underneath. Virtual Dice : Roll 1, 2 or 3 die at a time to work on subitizing or addition. Hundreds Chart : I especially like this hundreds chart because you can “roll” it forward or backward to reveal negative numbers or numbers past 100. Magnetic Numbers : I like that the “flip cards” reveal random numbers. For example, for the image above you could work on mentally adding 45 and 30. Then you can click either the 4 or 5 in 45 and work on counting by decades from a different number. There are many more interactive activities for both math and language arts. You can check out their resources here as well as a collection of all their resources here .
