Learning about money has always been challenging. It may perhaps be even more challenging to a generation who sees adults using much more plastic and now even cell phones as a mechanism for payment. But the fundamental concepts of currency and financial transactions are as important as ever.
The MATH IS FUN website has some games for kids to play to assist with learning about money – and they even have CANADIAN coins!
One of the most common challenges new users to Chrome face is finding a replacement for a desktop publishing program. While there are many such programs on the market, one of the more familiar ones is Publisher.
The cool thing about the replacement – it’s WAY better than Publisher. The designs are more modern, the fonts are cooler and the layouts are not from 1995. Take a look at Lucidpress. The website itself boasts a nice layout, simple interface, and direct connection to both Google Classroom and Google Drive.
Further, there is a Lucidpress extension for Chrome, putting the power of Lucid right at your fingertips!
Plagiarism is a serious consideration in any classroom, and it can be tough to conclusively catch. Obviously, teachers can copy/paste the segment in question and do a Google search of the content and you may learn something, but that can be a slow, arduous process.
What if you could watch the writing process your student went through on a time-lapse video? You actually CAN, and it’s awesome!!
With a Chrome Extension called Draftback you can watch your student’s writing process as a time-lapse video. Simply install the extension linked above, and you can have an instant replay of the assignment’s work!
Plagiarism becomes very obvious when you see a sudden large paragraph appear on the time-lapse replay!
