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.

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.
