#EdTechTeacherChallenge August 2020: Bitmoji Classroom, Day 19

 

Welcome to Day 19 #EdTechTeacherChallenge August 2020. How are you feeling about the challenge so far? Have you managed to do all the tasks up to this point? If not, that's OK. Take your time. Work at your own pace. Remember, the point of making a virtual classroom is to have a functional space for your students to be able to access content and other information.

Today, you are going to add one more slide to your presentation. Every classroom has resources that are used on a regular basis. In a normal classroom, this might be pens, notebooks and Algebra tiles. In the world of virtual teaching, you might have reference websites, digital manipulatives and a book library. What are they online resources that your students are going to need to access on a regular basis? These are the types of link that you should put on this slide.

Here is what I came up with:

I wanted this slide to mimic my "Contact Information" slide. I cropped the tree from the left slide of my wall background, extended the wall background and added a different tree to the right side. As I make decisions about how to improve my virtual classroom, I will add, move, delete as needed. I should note that this will be done with all my slides. As I the year goes on and I have a clearer picture of my students' needs, all the slides will change in some way. Be careful not to change too much at once though. Students need consistency. Change too much at once can cause confusion and unnecessary stress.

We have one more slide to add for this challenge. Then we can start adding your Bitmoji , distribute your virtual classroom to users and have a little fun.

What is your biggest take away from the challenge so far? Let me know in the comments below. Share your work with me @mrsmathmagician on social media. Be sure to use the hashtag @EdTechTeacherChallenge. I look forward to what you do.

Peace, love and happiness always!
