3. Educational GIFs

Eoghan Young is a fan of using GIFs in his instruction with students and created a Google Slides deck archive to share out with other educators.

Looking for a one stop shop for educational #gifs? I’ve made @GoogleForEdu #slides to help make my teaching materials more engaging for my learners.

Feel free to make a copy for yourself.

4. User Experience in Canvas

Keep things simple! Last year my team pulled this simple one-page reminder for effective teaching practices regardless of the learning mode. I wanted to share it again in hopes of helping others. https://t.co/lv0T6z8BT9 #CanvasFam #EffectiveTeaching @BVBlendED pic.twitter.com/EKEcQQfCef

I like this simple one-pager shared by Brad Moser. The biggest tip in my mind – is to keep it simple and clean!

5. 3 Podcasts Every Teacher Should Be Listening To

In this tweet, Thom Gibson shared out his top 2 podcasts and then asked for followers to suggest a third for others to listen to. I love this idea and how it promotes collaboration and community among educators!
