A (Disappointing) Update on Grammar Check in Google Drive

At Friday's technology workshops at the high school, staff members once again inquired about grammar checking in Google Drive. I had not seen anything that would work with Google Drive, but, having not looked recently, I said that I'd look into it again and report back.

Unfortunately, I don't have any huge change to report. Ginger, the spelling and grammar checker I shared the last time, still will not communicate with Google Drive, likely in large part, because of the permissions involved. Nor has another option come along that claims to check grammar at all never mind well.

So, this article that I found about spelling and grammar checking Google Drive items still remains the standard (unfortunately). I am seeing a couple tools popping up in Documents and Sheets that claim to check grammar. But the one I tried, ProWritingAid, is only a 14 day trial, so that won't help our kiddos. It also didn't seem to be intuitive to me since I had to run the add-on to check my grammar. We all know our kiddos won't take that extra step since they are used to other word processors checking automatically.

I'll keep an ear out to see if any useful ones appear and report if I see/hear of anything.

    Subsequently, it is typical to ponder in the event that this exam is difficult. The trouble of the TOEFL exam depends on the individual because it measures your English level. There are understudies out there who have a really great English level and the exam appears simple to them. Toefl practice test

Empowering Students with Choice Boards

Image
An example of a student choice menu that has students chose one item from each "course". I've been working with a teacher lately who has struggled with her students completing a summative paper in her class. This trimester, we're working together to find a way to increase buy in and hopefully have a higher percentage of students complete the project. While investigating options for her, the first thing that came to mind was using a choice board or learning menu to enable her students to select the method that would work best for them rather than prescribing a multimedia project. There are a wide range of ways that you can put choice boards in to action. Tic-Tac-Toe, Menus, Choice Board... there are lots of different words to use to search for them. But the premise for all of them is the same. Give your students a selection of options to chose from and let them go with it. Beyond hopefully boosting engagement, the teacher gets the added benefit of not have a ga...
