You can make a template that will automatically create a document for each student and they submit right through itslearning - no more sharing issues! When I polled my students and asked what they wanted their teachers to do more of - they all suggested creating document templates in assignments in itslearning. If you're not doing it already, come to this session to learn how!

Giving Students Choice…Without Going Crazy!

This session will look at the concept of giving students choice in the classroom. Evidence shows that students are more engaged when they have choice given in the topics they learn about and how they present the information they have learned. We will discuss how to implement choice in the classroom to increase engagement as well as how to use technology (Google & itslearning) to make the process more streamlined for the students...and for us as teachers (so we don't go crazy over directions and rubrics). This session is more geared towards secondary classrooms, but concepts can also be applied to elementary classes.
