Back to School Distance Learning Activity
By Language Arts Excellence
This product features an engaging worksheet and lesson to gauge your students' feelings on virtual learning in the upcoming school year both in traditional and digital form. In this activity, students must choose between 6 different quotes about distance learning and articulate why the quote aligns with their own perspective. It is a great way to gain insight about your students' current attitudes toward distance learning and technology in general while getting to know one another with a higher level thinking activity. Virtual learning can certainly be a struggle for both students and teachers, so this lesson aims to allow students to voice their true feelings on a very difficult and ever-changing situation.

Plan a Vacation - PBL Using MS Office or Google Apps/Workspace
By Innovations in Technology
Who doesn't love to travel? Engage students as they plan a vacation to their dream destination.
The “Plan a Vacation” project utilizes either MS Office (Word and Excel) or Google Apps/Workspace (Docs, Sheets) to allow students to build skills in those programs along with skills in Internet research, reading, writing and critical thinking. In these projects, students research a vacation destination of their choice and complete a research sheet using MS Word or Google Docs. They utilize either MS Excel or Google Sheets to create a budget for their trip, and finally create a tri-fold Travel Brochure using a choice of MS Word, Google Docs, or Canva (www.canva.com) to share information about their chosen destination. Full instructions and grading rubrics are provided for each portion of the project, along with a sample budget spreadsheet (and answer key), and a sample brochure. Links to tutorials for all programs are provided in the student resources section, and a Quick Start Guide for Canva is also included.
The project was created for grades 7-8 but could easily be adapted for younger or older students.
