I’ve been enjoying my digital classroom. I love using Google Classroom as an organizational tool for both my students and myself. But, as I mentioned LAST WEEK, I’m not ditching the paper interactive notebooks all together.
Sometimes, students need to color, fold, paste, and write. The digital classroom is highly differentiated, so I’ve been making more use of my stations than ever. And I like my stations. Students put together puzzles, they roll dice, they play games, they color….

This is what it looks like–you can zoom in on the actual shot to read it. |
When students open the assignment, they can click “Add,” and take a picture of the assignment. Then they can hit, “turn in,” and you will have a copy of each students’ work in your digital classroom.
If you are using Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive, have students create a document, insert the pictures, and send it to you.
Go ahead, carry your tiny, stylish purse home and nothing else. Kick back on the couch and grade with your tablet.
