We're pulling out student engagement student ownership and creative thinking We feel like if students feel more ownership through choice, then they'll be more engaged and Our end product or our end objective is to have students thinking creativity creatively for problem-solving Now learning menus are the method that we're choosing for student-driven instruction And so the learning menu Provide student choice Similar to what a choice board would do but the difference here is that the learning menu is a deliberate instructional pathway It's linear so the students have to follow this path From the start to the end to create the product or solution to what's going on Each section builds on the previous section. So you can't You pick and choose like the jeopardy board of a choice board You have to follow the path The one thing about this is when you look for examples for your learning when you think about restaurant menus Of course also doing this this can make you hungry So be careful as you're working on your learning menu not to get too hungry the tools we're using are digital and We're looking specifically at the Google workspace apps So Google Drive is our go-to storage and launchpad for developing all of our information and organizing How we're keeping up with our digital files Google Meet is the Delivery platform for remote learning if we have to deliver instruction to students who are outside the building For whatever reason then we can use Google Meet to have class virtually Google Meet can also be used students to record their presentation answers if that's an option for them to respond to the problem Through Google Drive we can access all of the Google apps for Google Docs sheets slides forms and drawings And this is both how we're creating the instruction that we're delivering and it's also how students are responding to So both teachers and students are using these apps Gmail Google Calendar and Google Classroom are all integrated so that when we post an assignment through Google Classroom Which is our learning management or content management system It goes out to both Gmail and Google Calendar So students are notified in both locations that there's an assignment or material posted and that they need to go check it out So Gmail and Google Calendar and Google Classroom are all working together To help manage assignment due dates communication with students and Letting the students kind of keep track of all of the work that we have going on in their various classes and Of course all of the Gmail Google Calendar Google Classroom anything we're running through there and attaching is usually running through Google Drive With Google Drive giving us options on sharing and File controls so we can either keep it within the classroom or within the school system Or we can let the whole world see it through the internet depending on how we're wanting to present information Now two apps are not part of your workspace, but do integrate with Google as Useful additions would be Canva, which is visual this helps us kind of spiffy up our presentations our Pages anything that we've got to add graphics on to make it more interesting and Then band lab is a more recent addition for Ori County schools And this is going to help with the any sounds type things we might want going on with the apps and things like that The next part up here will be the learning menu Thanks so much for watching be sure to like comment or reply to one of our other videos or share the playlist below Subscribe to our channel and enable notifications that you don't miss out the next episode Don't forget to check out our other resources like this cast podcast and see what else is going on at Ori County schools Be sure to follow at dear dis is on social media or contact us via email or our blog
