1. Recommended Reading for New Teachers

If you’re in a position like me, you’re still trying to finish out one school year, but already planning for the next. Such is the life of a coach. I know we will have several new teaching staff members next year and am always looking for ways to support them as each year has its challenges, so I was happy to find this tweet by Scott Nunes.

There are many great reading recommendations here for new teachers. In fact, I started a Wakelet just for ideas to share with new teachers in my building for next year. Click to view what I added.

2. Educational Templates in Canva

Canva never ceases to amaze me! I need a Wakelet just to keep track of everything you can do in it! Here’s a great find educational templates in Canva that you can add your own info to.

3. Digital Flashcards

Getting ready for state testing or final exam review? Here’s a great flashcard template that you can use or have students create their own.

4. Drop Down Menus in Google Docs

I retweeted this on Twitter, but did you see that Google Docs has a new update and you can now use drop down menus? Check out the video below to see how:

5. Stop Motion in WeVideo

Check out this video tutorial on how to create stop-animation by WeVideo. This could be a great alternative assessment where students have to create their own video using stop animation to teach about concepts they’ve learned.
