Ipads & Google Classroom in Grade 2

Students in Mrs. Thomas’s and Ms. Carlson’s classes are part of the Next Gen Pilot program in RRISD and share a cart of ipads. Here is Mrs. Thomas’s second Grade students working in pairs on a project, taking photos of their finished work, then uploading it to Google Classroom to share with their teacher. Even if the activity isn’t digital, they make it so with the camera and how they submit their work to their digital Google Classroom.

StuCo Elections Go Digital

This year for Student Council Elections, Candidate speeches were video recorded, places in a slide show and viewed in grade 3-5 classes.  Students then voted via Google forms for the offices. It was all done on our local servers, so no videos were on the internet, and Candidates had an opportunity to refilm their speeches if needed.  Teachers were able to share the Google Form securely within their Google Classrooms.
