Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.
Harlan & Heather Dam - $277.00
Goal
To learn ways to teach virtually and connect with all of my students both on campus and learning remotely from home and to share this new knowledge with my fellow teachers at both Lavern Gaynor Elementary and Herb Cambridge Elementary through emails and video tutorials.
What will be done with my students
SimpleK12 is an online professional development tool that incorporates teacher learning into a social platform, and promotes engagement by letting teachers accumulate points that they can trade in for rewards. It allows teachers to create a profile, track their PD through a transcript of courses and outcomes, and access a broad range of content.
Teachers can communicate with one another through forums, upload resources to share with others. Content is delivered through webinars, which cover a range of subjects from using bitmojis, to creating virtual classrooms and so much more.
The photo above is an example of a Google Classroom slide that I learned how to make from a free webinar that was recently offered on the site.
I will be able to pass on this new knowledge to fellow staff members by sharing the information through emails and homemade video tutorials.
Benefits to my students
Content is current and regularly updated which will allow me to continuously grow and improve the ways I am delivering content to my students and staff. Content covers training on virtual and standard teaching practices.
The cost covers two years of membership and will benefit all of my students and staff at both schools for years to come.
Budget Narrative
Budget covers two years of full access to the entire catalog of professional development trainings, all blogs and teaching toolkits at SimpleK12.com
