Ecosystems and Ecology – Digital Interactive Notebook
Science, Life Sciences, Biology, Grade 8, 9, 10, 11, Activities
Middle School and Freshman High School Digital Interactive Notebook - Ecology and Ecosystems. Designed specifically for the 1:1 classroom utilizing any kind of digital device such as Chromebooks, Cellphones, or Tablets. This resource comes packed with 28 engaging activities spread over 45 interactive pages. It covers the entire ecology curriculum and includes an teacher answer copy. Each page was created to look and feel like a traditional notebook but was designed to take advantage of everything that digital brings. Digital Interactive Notebook for Google and OneDrive cloud services. If you don’t currently have a Google account, you can sign up for one completely free and get started in 5 minutes. If you’re a OneDrive user no problem. Simply download the notebook as a PowerPoint file to your computer then upload it to your OneDrive account. The majority of the items in this resource are fully editable. In addition, slides can be added or removed easily to suit your classroom needs. This Digital Interactive Notebook is broken down into 9 chapters. Chapters can easily be removed if they don’t correspond to your curriculum needs. The following chapters are included with your purchase. Chapter 1 - The Spheres of the Earth Chapter 2 - Ecosystems Chapter 3 - Energy Flow In Ecosystems Chapter 4 - Cycling of Matter In Ecosystems Chapter 5 - Population Influences within Ecosystems Chapter 6 - Ecological Succession Chapter 7 - Biomass and Fossil Fuels Chapter 8 - The Importance of Biodiversity Chapter 9 - Invasive Species THEN: Before computers, we used interactive notebooks to engage our students and keep their notebooks organized and accessible. This however required a lot of material and the unwelcomed task of lugging them all home with you to mark. But we used them because they were effective and allowed us to effectively assess our students understanding. NOW: Why use digital interactive notebooks? As prices decrease, many schools are moving towards a 1:1, computer-student ratio and are becoming digital, the way we teach needs to keep up. You don’t even need a class set of computer, a personal device (cell phone, laptop, tablet, etc. will work just as well). Digital interactive notebooks provide all the same means of organization and assessment but without the physical notebook. This… 1) Saves you from bringing them back and forth/storing them in your class. 2) Purchasing all the necessary supplies. 3) Having them get lost, misplace pages, etc. Once you purchase, you’ll get a direct link. This link will allow you to place your own copy of the digital notebook into your Google Drive folder. From there, simply distribute the file to your students. No notebooks, no glue, no scissors, not even a USB in sight. Everything is stored and can be assessed in the cloud from any computer in the world. If your students go on holiday, they can access it. If they’re sick, they can access it. What activities will you find inside my Digital Interactive Notebooks? • Interactive drag-and-drop activities • Embedded Videos that play inside the slides along with questions • Calculation questions • Audio recorders – students record and upload their own auditory answers to questions • Fill-in-the-blanks • Drawings – students create their own drawing then easily upload them to their slides using their device or computer • Research questions • Extension questions for early finishers, those wanting extra credit, or incorporated into the mainstream assignment • Vocabulary check on the entire unit • Lots more Click here to get immediate access to a sample file so you can see exactly what’s being offered → http://bit.ly/TWF-DINB . Keep in mind that the sample file is for my SPACE notebook but it does give you a good idea of how the resource is structured. What if my school won’t pay for Google products or access to Google Classroom? No problem, G-Suite as it’s called, is completely free and includes everything you’ll need to access your digital notebooks. What if your students don’t have internet access for some reason? These notebooks can easily be made available off-line for access anywhere. Left-side/Rights-side. Is there a place for students to include their own notes? Yes! That’s the beauty of going digital. You don’t need a left and right side. When you or your students want some more room, just add a slide and go to town. Worried about plagiarism? I use turnitin.com to ensure my students are submitting their own work. However, I attempt to make these as interactive and individual as possible, which all but eliminates cheating. Do you feel that your students will miss out on the hands-on experience they receive from traditional interactive notebooks? In today’s world, I don’t think that’s a concern. Your students are and need to be well versed in the world of technology and how to manipulate it to suit their needs. This resource will help.

Free trade Game
Social Studies, Economics, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Activities, Games
The idea of “Free Trade” can be difficult for students to grasp – it’s such a “way out there” idea that they may not think of much during their day to day lives. This game is very simple, but the concepts it reinforces are very important. It is designed to be used with a group of at least 8 or 10 students, and up to 30 or more. We spent about an hour when we played the game with my class of 24 students

The Little Book of Logic Puzzles: 25 Puzzles That Will Make You Think, Volume #2
ELA, Reading, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Activities
Volume #2 of The Little Book of Logic Puzzles: 25 Puzzles That Will Make You Think. Each Logic Puzzle in this volume is part of a two-page spread. The first page of the spread contains the puzzle while the second page lists the answer and explanation. All of the puzzles are arranged in order of difficulty, from easiest to most difficult. The download you have received is in a Microsoft WORD format. This gives you the option to print the puzzles out on paper or solve them on the computer screen. A third option, that of displaying the puzzles on an overhead projector as part of a classroom or public presentation , can help you and the other solvers see and more clearly understand how the puzzle grids can be marked with “X’s” (to eliminate choices that can’t be), and “O’s” (to show the choices that must be), giving additional visual cues that will help you to correctly solve the puzzles. These 25 Logic Puzzles are great tools for developing reading comprehension and problem solving skills. Teachers, present them as an activity in your classroom to start the day, or at the start of a reading period. Use them to give your students a break from traditional reading exercises, while still providing them with a significant reading challenge. Consider adding a Logic Puzzle as an ungraded extra page to the end of a quiz or test, giving those students who finish the test quickly a puzzle to solve and something to do while others in the class are still completing their exams. Once you have finished solving the Logic Puzzles in Volume #2, you may want to have access to more puzzles. Thankfully, Volumes #1 and #3 are also available in the same format, and each contains another set of 25 Logic Puzzles of the same quality and the same level of challenge!
