Magical Learning Moments
This “Magic Learning Moments - 5 Day eJournal” is a Google slide template. It will provide your learners a self-directed learning choice to reflect on their daily learning activities. It will guide them with an opportunity to pursue and document their interest, learning passions and gratitude moments. It will also empower your learners to reflect on new discoveries, while contributing to and sharing their reading, writing and learning insights.
I am hoping this journal template will inspire you as an educator to be more creative in your teaching and learning approaches, and will energize your own teaching delivery style of customizing creative content. Designer @NaomiHarm

QR Code Postcard Activity
Make the learning fun, interactive and meaningful with a QR code postcard activity. Students love to receive snail mail, and what a better way for educators to personalize the learning experience by creating an interactive QR code activity that students can scan and reveal engaging learning content for the whole family to enjoy.
1. Gain access to a postcard, 2. Create an online image QR code with https://www.qrcode-monkey.com 3. Print the QR code, and 4. Glue it to your postcard. 5. Include an extra special personalized written note from you as an educator, to let your students know that they matter, and they are important, and you are providing them with a personalized activity to engage them in their learning interest!
