July 29 Weekly Finds

After a little break, Weekly Finds is back and I have been collecting some great finds over the last couple of weeks and am eager to share!

1. 90-Day Instructional Coach Plan

A few Instructional Technology Coaches I know in surrounding counties (and perhaps beyond) got together and created this plan for new instructional coaches. I haven’t gone through it thoroughly yet, but I’ve heard good things.

What started as a tweet just over a month ago turned into a PLN workgroup which produced a document for new Instructional (Tech) Coaches. We hope you find it useful! https://t.co/AZ3kY8VfEj https://t.co/17lAxAoINJ pic.twitter.com/18SuCUkzNR

2. 10 Amazing Updates for Teachers using Google

Towards the end of the year, Google updated or added some features that you might have missed depending on when your year ended. Check out this video, from the amazing Sethi De Clercq who runs the Flipped Classroom Tutorials channel on YouTube:

3. EDU Coaching Resources

As a Tech Coach, I’m always looking for resources and Tisha at Wakelet delivered! She created a collection of EDU Coaching Resources that includes tips for new coaches, goal setting in coaching, books, and other resources.

Here is a @wakelet collection I created for a few coaches last month with some collaborative blogs and book recommendations that might help: https://t.co/BsuHM9Pipb

4. Avoiding Plagiarism

This is a great flowchart to help students work through how they are using text, quotes, and citations in their research. This is definitely something I would have posted in a classroom! Check out the link in the tweet below to get access to an accessible PDF version of the flowchart too!

What types of plagiarism are there? How do you know if you are plagiarizing? Take a look our the ACC Library Plagiarism Flowchart and learn more on when and how to properly cite sources in all of your research papers https://t.co/8YdcaND1sQ #ACCLibrary pic.twitter.com/x18KdRMzVH

5. Flipgrid…is now FLIP!

I attended the FlipFest back at the end of June and just about flipped when I heard the news. Not only is there a new name, but LOTS of new features too! Check out this blog post entitled Introducing Flip and see what other apps Flip integrates with below:

Meet @MicrosoftFlip! Not sure how to use it? Looking for new ways to integrate it? 🤔
