1. The teacher can build in the assignment and assessments in real time. This allows the teacher to see instant progress of the students and determine who may be struggling and needs help. With the real time capability, the teacher can also determine if lessons need to be changed or if students need partners.
2. Teachers can curate relevant, engaging content. By using this method and utilizing sqworl.com, a teacher can create and implement motivating lessons associated with their specific curriculum discipline.
3. Students can work at their own pace to complete tasks and submit assignments. By accessing sqworl and Google docs from the website, students can start a project or assignment at school and finish at home or at the library. It is convenient enough to allow students to regulate the pace in which they complete the work assigned.
4. Students like options. Be sure to give them relevant, explicit choices in the learning.
5. In curating assessments, ALWAYS have a backup plan!
5. Power My Learning is broken down by subject discipline: math, science, language arts, history, etc. Lessons and activities can be assembled on the website and imported for use on the Google doc or print. Using this application adds variety and acts as a means to keep students engaged.
6. In using this application and importing to Google docs, you can add sound, voice overs, and other tagging options for viewing by the students.
Also, I like how the facilitator of the workshop used Google docs on the projector screen and had the workshop participants participate hands-on.
