Combat the end of the year student engagement slump, TODAY!

I’ve been there too, teacher friend. As the end of the year approaches, it’s almost always a challenge to keep those kids engaged. This year? Forget it – you’ve been battling this all year!

I vividly remember trying to keep my students engaged. I spent hours lesson planning and software researching desperately trying to find something that would stick for those final weeks. I planned games. I planned interactive activities. I planned group work. You name it, I tried it. While it worked some days, it wasn’t always a hit.

Now, add on the virtual layer to student engagement as well. I want to take some work off your plate, teacher friend. I want you to enjoy teaching again. I want you to have the time to love on your students for the final weeks you have together. I want you to have the time to be the mom, dad, wife, husband, brother, sister, you name it, that you want to be. That’s why I’ve done the research for you. I’ve come up with sever different software swaps for those things that used to work for your students, but aren’t anymore.

You can find the first swap described in detail on my podcast Simple Tools for the Online Teacher. We can be found on most podcasting sites, and continue to get published in more. Look for our podcast art, or just click on it below! It’s short and sweet – perfect to listen to you during your lunch, your prep time, or your daily commute.

This week’s podcast covers Kahoot! You know it, you either love it or hate it. Regardless, I have two alternatives for your and your in person and virtual classrooms. If you’d rather not wait for the weekly podcast drop, and want the entire list at your fingertips now then head on over to onlineteacherallyson.com/swap. You can grab it there (for free, of course)!
