EDUC SSR Week 4

First, complete the activity on the Jamboard.  Jamboard Activity




The Jamboard Activity is where you discuss your book.  Answer the questions.  There are three total slides.  The slide bar is at the top.  Click on the square post it note on the left side of the Jamboard and answer the questions based on your book.

Jamboard is no longer supported by Google, so this activity could be duped.  

Second, how would you change this activity so that it looks the same and asks the students to do the same thing, but not on Jamboard?  (this is the question you answer on this blog post in  the comments.)

Respond to two classmates comments on the blog post only.  No need to respond on the Jamboard.
