Ctrl Alt Achieve from Eric Curts is a HUGE resource for me to keep me up to date with G Suite changes, techniques and just general technology information. He has a wealth of information and templates that are FREE to use with your classroom. It is as easy as just sharing a link with students, giving them a quick tutorial on how to use it and they are off and running! I have used these templates with my 3rd graders on up, and even had a second grade teacher give the Halloween Jack-o-Lantern activity a go with her class this year!
This year for his 12 Days of Techmas he has posted more awesome resources for blogs to follow, podcasts AND my favorite ACTIVITIES! All free, and all ready to just be shared with students. My personal favorite from the 6 Googley Wintertime Activities for Kids and one that I think my students will really enjoy is the Pixel Art Ornaments, with Minecraft on the brain students are sure to get into this pixelated style creation of images. While, I won't be getting to it this week, it is on my list of activities to squeeze in for the rest of 2018!
I also learn a lot from analyzing how others create the template. This could be an extension activity for older kids to add different colors and experiment with Google Sheets!
