Virtual Google Classrooms

 


Have you struggled to keep your child or students on track when they're watching an educational program or playing a learning game, and then suddenly they've gone into an abyss of material you'd rather them not access?

Welcome to our virtual PreK classroom! 
This one has been tailored to my son's interests, but all are educational. 

Clicking on the books, stuffed animals, toys, and objects will take you to read aloud stories, songs, videos, and even virtual models to do things like:
  • listen to read aloud stories 
  • watch videos
  • listen to songs
  • play games
  • learn to write numbers and letters
  • learn to draw
  • watch some science experiments
  • build virtual models



Interested in something a bit more mature for older children and students? This is my fourth grade modern virtual Google classroom, which can easily be used for middle or high schoolers. It will keep students' attention as they explore and view gifs, such as moving plasma, bubbles, and a welcoming skeleton in the STEAM room.

Students can:
  • explore geography
  • chill out in the relaxation room
  • read books in the library
  • use virtual math manipulatives
  • learn about geology
  • examine bones and animal skeletons
  • conduct chemistry experiments
  • study plants
  • access textbooks in their locker

Clicking on the water feature, breathe hand, and sunrise will take you to other sites with resources for a peaceful classroom. Let's see if you can find two other links embedded elsewhere in this room!

Head over to the cozy reading room, where you can listen to books on video and read books, magazines, articles, and newspapers!


The math classroom has all sorts of virtual manipulatives and opportunities for practice. 



My son's favorite part of my virtual "big kid" classroom is the S.T.E.A.M. lab. Can you find the 6 hidden interactive links?

Our school's mascot makes an appearance in the locker room hallway area. Fun fact: our real school doesn't have lockers! It's a fun place to store books and find links to them online, though! You can replace these images with ones that apply to your students.


These are customizable. All you need to do is click an image (such as the clock to add your daily schedule), insert a link, and share with students!
