Everything Old is New Again

My classes meet on Zoom. They receive assignments and submit them in Schoology. We work collaboratively in Google Docs or Slides. We see each other’s ideas and responses on Padlet or FlipGrid. There are so many different apps—so many different logins. In the midst of all of this, I have found something rather unconventional to work for me and my students. Old-fashioned basics. Paper. Pens or pencils. Actual books. Today, these items are unusual and new. In my next few posts, I will divide this into a few different situations: writing, reading, grammar, and reviewing.
