Recorded with https://screencast-o-matic.com A short video on how to archive a course in Canvas

A very short video explaining the difference between published and unpublished courses in Cavas

This animated short highlights the holiday and tradition of Day of the Dead in Mexico. It can be used as a movietalk (http://teachingcomprehensibly.com/movietalk/) classroom activity using strategies of comprehensible input, specifically the idea of circling to gauge comprehension (https://comprehensibleclassroom.com/teacher-training/essential-strategies-for-tprsci-teachers/how-to-circle/). The activities that could follow could be changed to match the level being taught. In lower levels, having a discussion in English would be appropriate. In higher levels, asking deeper questions about how students honor their own loved ones and what their own beliefs about the holiday and tradition are could be a thought provoking prompts.

Personalize Learning with Video Demonstrations of Art Techniques. Video clips of art techniques covered in class allow students to pause, repeat, and access content on demand as needed for review, remediation, make-up work, and/or enrichment.

The teacher can facilitate a class period where students rotate to different stations to explore a media more in depth, and include a digital art station in the rotation.

Elizabeth Kappus in New Kent has created a series of video tutorials for using both Schoology and Chromebooks.

Two balls of equal mass are rolled down two tracks, one with a dip in it. Then, 4 tracks of different forms are compared. Looking at PE and KE for the Conservation of Energy.

Concepts include: PE, KE, and Conservation of Energy, also horizontal motion. Ph 4: conservation laws apply to all interactions. Ph 4b mechanical energy is conserved unless work is done on, by, or within the system. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Potential energy is the energy due to an object’s position or state (PH.4 b). Forces within a system transform energy from one form to another with no change in the system’s total energy (PH.4b). Horizontal motion independent of vertical Ph 2a.
