Kindergarten/Grade 1 Project:
Students used Educreations to choose an Olympic event that they would have like to compete in. On their first page they introduced themselves, second page they stated the sport their were interested in, third page they inserted their face onto an athlete of the sport they chose. Students presented them to each other by using the Smart Board as a projector.
Grade 2/3 Project:
As a summative assessment of the Animal Research Projects, we used Educreations to share our learning. Each student took a photo of their written report, inserted pictures of their animal from the internet, and orally reflected on their learnings by stating three stars and one wish.
Grade 4/5 Project:
As a summative assessment the students used a tech tool to compose and create a book talk. The Educreation included book cover and images to represent book, author, characters, various scenes as visuals. They use the tools to further demonstrate their opinions about their books. Some also shared a fluency sample as well.

Teachers and students at Loreburn have been developing and implementing a Guided Math course in the Elementary and Middle years. This was to address the issues of students’ gaps in knowledge and skill as they progressed. In addressing this issue, teachers have used the same philosophy of student responsibility and mastery to guide students to show their higher level thinking by creating outlines and creating lessons on Smartnotebook, Educreations and Explain Everything. Students have a specific guideline and template to follow but have total control of what outcomes they wish to create lessons for and how they want to show and demonstrate their knowledge and skills.

A wealth of ideas to help you learn to study.

Included: general tips, skill guides, test taking, skills by subject.

Each summer, students lose critical math and literacy skills, which can widen the achievement gap among students. To prevent this “summer slide,” EVERFI has partnered with Major League Baseball to develop a continuous and engaging learning experience that prepares students of all backgrounds to enter the next school year on track. The 18-week program, targeted to 4th and 5th graders, unlocks activities at regular intervals and offers rewards for progress and consistency along the way. Students engage with content that reinforces critical math and language skills while enjoying the freedom and motivation of a baseball-themed, game-based learning experience.

This can be used throughout the year as extra reinforcement for students.
