Cybersmart PD - Cheryl Torrie

It was actually quite surreal attending this PD as we all knew in a couple of hours our school would be shutting down for lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. For that reason, it was hard to stay focused. Cheryl sidetracked and gave us tips for our class sites and ideas to use during remote learning. 
Basically:

• keep it simple for the students. 
• use Screencastifies of yourself as the students will want to see you.
• Screencastifies will help explain the learning and gives it a personal touch. 
• Screencastifies  will also provide that rewindable learning which is so important for students. 

Here's some sites she told us to look at:
Year 3/4 The Block

Year 5/6 Team 4

I am also going to use daily slides. One tip is to change the background each day so students can differentiate the days. 
Lots to do over the holidays!
