by Lynn Erickson 6 months ago

What are some of your favorite technology tools that you like to use with students for project based learning and Defined Learning? Here is a list of some of the technology tools we used with students for a variety of Defined Learning tasks:

Robot Designer (K-2)- Students and teachers used Seesaw for ongoing brainstorming of how robots help people.

Park Designer (Grade 3)- Students and teachers used Google Docs for brainstorming what makes a great park, Google Classroom to organized the project parts and due dates, and Flip to record their presentations and provide feedback to each other.

Mini Golf Course Designer (Grades 4 and 6)- Students used Google Slides to present their mini golf course, Google Drawings to design their course, logo/slogan, and Google Sheets to prepare their budget and supplies. In addition, they used Google Meet to present their work to an outside audience.

Industrial Designer: Skateboard Park (Grades 6-8)- Students used Cospaces to design their skateboard park and present to others.
