SHAKE UP LEARNING, BY KASEY BELL
Using digital resources has become paramount in our current environment. Even once the COVID-19 pandemic has passed, technology and interactions in our classrooms will be forever changed.
As an initiative to get teachers comfortable with technology, our Summer 2020 cluster support was based upon Kasey Bell's Shake Up Learning. Continue to improve your digital classroom presentations and classroom management using her many resources and suggestions.
