Timely Tech – 22 November Themed Technology Activities

Description

Timely Tech is designed to help your students build tech skills while incorporating monthly themed digital activities. This set has 22 November themed activities (Election day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Autumn/Fall).

When I teach my students with monthly themed activities that bring in the other subject areas, I find that they are more engaged and empowered to learn.

Table of Contents:

• 3-4    The Rationale and how it   works
• 5  ISTE Standards Addressed
• 6-11  Links to the digital file in Google Slides and how to use   it.
• 12-13  Terms of Use and Credits

How to Use:

In the Google Slides file you will find activities for every grade level K-5. I didn’t split them up because I want to leave that decision up to you based on your student needs.

Here is an idea of how you might separate these activities by grade levels:

K/1: Alphabet click and drag, 10 frames, Patterns, Word families, Build the turkey, Match the Halves

2/3: Make new words, ABC order, Pixel Art, Gratitude list typing, Shapes Cornucopia, Thanksgiving Favorites

4/5: Decoding, Editing spelling errors, Search, Text vs. Email, Thankful ABCs, IF/THEN/ELSE, Coding, Timeline, Acrostic Poem

What I recommend:

• Make a copy of the original file for each grade level
• Take out the slides you don’t need
• Rename each file for the grade level you’ll use it with
• Send through Google Classroom or download and use as a PowerPoint file

ISTE Standards Addressed:

• 3b Students evaluate the accuracy, perspective, credibility and relevance of information, media, data or other resources.

• 6c Students communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively by creating or using a variety of digital objects such as visualizations, models or simulations.
