Aimed at educators, this SEL curriculum helps students to imagine difficult situations and talk about strategies for making responsible, ethical, and healthy choices.
This is a creative writing personal narrative student project. It is a powerful personal story about one student's journey through depression. After writing it I encouraged her to put images to it. She created it a Google slideshow and then uploaded it to WeVideo and recorded a voice over.
Deciding on which device to use to teach coding can be tough, especially when many devices seem so similar! In this session, we will take a look at the BBC micro:bit, Raspberry Pi 3B+, and the Arduino Uno. Join us as we crack the code on these devices and figure out which one is the best choice for your students!
Students explore the densities and viscosities of fluids as they create a colorful 'rainbow' using household liquids. While letting the fluids in the rainbow settle, students conduct 'The Great Viscosity Race,' another short experiment that illustrates the difference between viscosity and density. Later, students record the density rainbow with sketches and/or photography.
Deepen your understanding of learner factors and how to design learning experiences that maximize learner variability. Educators will design learning experiences with learner variability.

Educator develops an ecosystem for managing learning and resources for digital learning. This is the second of five micro-credentials in the “Transitioning to Digital Learning” stack. It is encouraged that the micro-credentials in this stack are earned in sequence, as each skill builds on the previous one in the stack. The educator selects and organizes a virtual desk to support equitable access to materials and promote two-way communication.
