For ALL grade levels! Activities can be brought back to school and done in classrooms. Lessons will run the gamut from K – 12 and Kerry will differentiate which are appropriate for each grade level.
9 am – 3 pm
Our students are engaged when using screens and technology, but are they engaged in the thinking and collaboration activities we have planned for them? Are they experiencing too much screen time? Are they able to distinguish between helpful and distracting online activities and information? How can we make sure our classrooms provide the environment and lesson activities for students to refine these skills? The world beyond the school walls is technology-rich and we educators should feel confident and empowered to give our students the skills they need to be successful in that world.
