This month's blog is
Summer Fun and Learning Activities for Kids
.
The greatest thing about learning during the summer is that you don't
have to teach anything. Just benefit from long days and favorable
weather and do fun stuff together.
Even if your child's schedule is busy during the school year and he or
she attends all possible extracurriculars, there is still a chance
that some interest is left out. The best way to find out is to ask
them what they would like to do.
Guest Blogger Jeanna Bray is an educator, a parent, and a writer
based in Seattle. She believes in life-long learning and that
curiosity saved a cat. She also collaborates with online projects
that promote education and literacy.

Tech Tip #1: The 17 Best Education Podcasts for Teachers 2020
Paul Stevens-Fulbrook shares a list of seventeen of the best podcasts
for teachers out there at the moment. Spending some time listening to
these podcasts can fit easily into your busy life and allow you to
pick the professional development that you need. They are there when
you need them and they cover the most current teaching strategies.
Learn more in the article found: HERE.
Tech Tip #2: How to Structure Learning Stations Online
While learning stations are most magical in the brick-and-mortar
classroom, they can be facilitated during remote learning with a few
adjustments. You might not be able to replicate the human-to-human
collaboration or kinesthetic learning, but you can still use learning
stations as a way to scaffold and "chunk" content/skills into
manageable, engaging parts. Thankfully, technology like Google Docs,
Slides, Forms, and Classroom make organizing learning stations easy.
Learn more by visiting: HERE.
Tech Tip #3: Drag-and-Drop Google Slides
Jan Parker writes: "As an ed tech coach, I often get asked about how
to create a document that students can type in without messing up the
information the teacher has created. For instance, in a
fill-in-the-blank plus word bank style exit ticket. Or, a graphic
organizer that won't get messed up when students try to add content.
There are several products that can accomplish this, but by far my
favorite because of its simplicity is google slides."
