This week's installment brought to you by John Stevens, Instructional Coach for Technology While the integration of technology can be an exciting time in lesson preparation, it can also be a daunting task to choose the right tool for the job. In an ever-expanding world of websites, apps, and programs to help teachers support their students, there seems to be an ever-shrinking amount of time to find the perfect resource. With that in mind, we have something that will help, built by CJUHSD teachers for CJUHSD teachers! In the link above, you now have an opportunity to look at what other teachers are using in their classroom to engage and assess student learning. Not only that, but each resource has a link to take you directly to the free product that you can test out and see if it works with you and your students for that upcoming project, activity, or assignment. (A big thank you to Matt Gillum at CHS for getting the ball rolling with this!) In its infancy, the list won’t look very impressive. However, as teachers from CJUHSD and beyond start contributing the ideas they have tested in their classrooms, the list will grow and become more useful for all who are interested in taking a risk with a different modality, a new platform, or a unique task. For those who feel like they have found a resource worth sharing (yeah, you!), we encourage you to do so. To contribute, please use the link below: Your instructional coaching team is dedicated to empowering the teachers across CJUHSD to create a culture of sharing and collaboration. We have the distinct privilege of visiting your classrooms and sitting in on your meetings to hear about how you are implementing technology, incorporating instructional practices, and more. This table is merely a way to accumulate a collective list of ideas and share them out with your peers, the teachers who are working hard to improve student learning through the medium of technology.
