Starting February 2nd, the OPSRC tech team will share tips on different technology tools teachers and students can use in the classroom. We will provide these 30-minute tech talks via Zoom twice a week: Tuesday at lunch and Thursday after school. Here are the talks we have scheduled to date:
Adobe Spark
Adobe Spark is a suite of tools aimed at creating graphics, websites and videos. This session focuses on Adobe Spark Post: a graphics creation tool with built-in templates, images and typography. This tool can provide an opportunity for students to express themselves and share their products in the classroom and on popular social media platforms.

Google Slides
While Google Slides is a program typically used to present slide decks with text, audio and video, it can also be a great tool for collaboration, interactions and creativity. Whether you are using one of the many pre-made templates or a curated learning experience, Google Slides is a powerful engagement tool for the classroom.

Fact: Your classroom is full of barriers Every teacher faces a few “elephants” in the classroom. You might refer to them as barriers, distractions or interruptions--things that get in the way of students being fully engaged in their learning. No matter the term you use, though, they require you to reconsider how you relate to and instruct your students and how you manage your classroom.
