Creating blogs and podcasts to help revison.
Revision exercises are a necessary part of learning if you are in an exam focused setting, and there are many ways that students can revise to keep things interesting. Writing a blog to share with classmates is a way to divide the info and share the revision preparation, as is creating a podcast series. Soundtrap is a great tool for creating and sharing podcasts, either externally of your school or just inside of your location.
Awesome tip from Alice Keeler – One Topic One Student in Google Classroom In Google Classroom differentiate by creating a topic for only one student. Only that one student can see that the topic even exists. https://youtu.be/BFe103kOfp0
