Remote Learning:

Tools that Educators Use to Bring Learning to Students

Google Classroom and Seesaw are the learning platforms that LKDSB teachers use to engage students in learning during face-to-face learning and remote learning. Thank you to all who have been helping out a fellow teacher and sharing resources and ideas.  So many creative, time-saving and engaging tools are in use.

What are the ‘go-to’ tools?

Whiteboards

Seesaw's Drawing Tool has so many features that bring learning alive.

Many students benefit from having access to a recording of the instructions. 

Google’s Jamboard can be adapted for so many different activities like sharing ideas, Number Talks, and storytelling.

Everyone will get an individual digital whiteboard, where they can draw, write text, make notations on images, add math equations, and more!

You, as a teacher, can see all your students' whiteboards in real-time, so you can follow their progress, while the students only see their own whiteboard and the teacher's.
