Students decorate large uppercase letters of the alphabet and draw an original picture to illustrate each letter.

Students will observe images of gardens, visualizing and imagining the shapes, colors, textures, sounds, and smells of the plants, flowers, and other objects in a garden. They will also write about and sketch their observations. Students will then design and create a model of their own imagined garden.

Creating a Group requires just a little effort and thought.  This shows you how to do it on #GoOpenVA.

We can’t expect our students to be engaged or do their  best if we haven’t created an environment where students feel: safe to try, fail & try again, supported,encouraged, their opinions & ideas matter, they have a voice & choices in how they learn.

This video is the result of a collaboration between Blue Ridge PBS and the Virginia Department of Education. It's designed to help educators take the next step from just using the resources of Go Open Virginia to becoming contributors of resources including videos, lesson plans, and utilization plans for ALL teachers.

#GoOpenVA is a collaborative initiative that enables educational entities throughout Virginia to create, share, and access openly-licensed educational resources (OER, also known as open education resources). OER are free digital materials that can be used or modified to adjust to student needs; they are openly-licensed unhampered by many traditional copyright limitations.

#GoOpenVA encourages all Virginia educators and learners to create, share, and use digital resources with the end goals of providing equitable access to great learning materials throughout the state, and supporting new approaches to learning and teaching for all Virginians.

This is a professional learning OER activity developed using Google Sites and various Google Forms and Docs.  The facilitator should be sure to set up the site with their own forms, etc... The objectives for the staff are:Understand the basics of copyright lawUnderstand  fair use guidelinesIdentify the types of CC licenses and termsUnderstand the benefits of  Open AccessUnderstand the benefits of  Open Educational Resources 

This is a set of Google Slides or PowerPoint slides intended to facilitate presenters who are developing presentations and want to share those slides with an open license.  Each slide offers information about creative commons as well as a footer that can be copied, edited, and used to indicate the presenters willingness to share their work as OER.
