Mr. Lewis’ Jedi Times - Episode XX

THE JEDI TIMES Episode XX January 29, 2016

Episode XX:

Technological Revolution All of the third grader’s hard work has led to this moment. The moment of trial has arrived where students will put their best foot forward and show what they know about Google Classroom, their country of choice, and technology integration. Students are currently

working on their “Where would you

rather live” Google Slides presentations (similar to traditional PowerPoint). Through these presentations, students will display their research and findings on their countries of choice, and show their ability to format, layout, and present a Google Slides presentation. They true challenge will come as students look to include an interactive portion in their presentations, which will engage and include the audience in their presentations. We are overly excited to see what these padawans can

accomplish. Check out your student’s Google Classroom page to see how

he/she is progressing and Mr. Lewis’ model.
