Earth Day & Spring Digital Ideas!

Help students realize that they have a part to play in taking care of our earth. Encourage them to think about how they can make a difference.

The free version of FlipGrid allows each child to have 1 minute and 30 seconds of recording time. It is perfect for asking students to summarize their "take away" from a lesson. It is also a quick and easy way to get students to share their own stories and experiences.

Students can use iMovie or collaborate with Google Slides to research and educate others! Make it even more "real" to students by giving them the choice of an endangered/threatened animal in your area using the US Fish & Wildlife Endangered Species Database - https://www.fws.gov/endangered/

Spring at Oak Hills Elementary means research! The EasyBib Add-on to Google is the perfect way to teach students the importance of giving credit for the information they have gathered. Even young students doing a class research project need an opportunity to learn this important skill - made easy in EasyBib!
