Web-based Learning

Web-based learning tools are SO much smarter than they were just a few years ago! The amazing thing about both i-Ready and Vocabulary.com is that the robots learn your unique skills and needs and adjust the content to make a plan just for you.

Our primary web-based learning tools this year:

•

i-Ready

Vocabulary.com

• If you haven’t done so already, start your account by first clicking the correct class code:
  • 1st period (Mon, Tues, Thurs English)
  • 2nd period (Mon, Tues, Thurs English)
  • 4th period (Mon, Wed, Fri English)
  • 5th period (Mon, Wed, Fri English)

Newsela

• Log into your Microsoft 365 account first via Mail or PowerSchool
  • I will be using this site to assign articles to you based on your i-Ready diagnostics and what I know about you as a reader.
  • Unlike regular news sites, the reading levels (‘lexiles’ in teacher jargon) can be adjusted.

Ted-Ed

The cover of our first Ted-Ed lesson: optional EXTRA CREDIT over spring break

• I’ll use this to create lessons with:
  1. Video content (take see + think/wonder notes!)
  2. Check for understanding
  3. Options to extend learning
  4. Discussion board to share your ideas & questions
