Sketchnote by Jen Giffen<\/p><\/div>\n

Jen Giffen, aka Virtual Giff, is a Teacher Librarian and Former Curriculum Consultant in the York Region District School Board in Ontario, Canada. This school year Jen reentered the classroom and shares some of her favorite engaging student assessment and assignment ideas.<\/p>\n

Adding color and joy is what Jen does best. You may remember her color-coding system to \u201cbeautify\u201d Google Drive in episode 10 of the Google Teacher Podcast from a few years ago. In this episode, Jen discusses how technology has truly stepped up the teacher collaboration opportunity in sharing ideas for student engagement. When educators share what they discover and learn every teacher becomes a cog in this big machine that educates kids. It truly takes a village.<\/p>\n

Beyond Traditional Assessment<\/h2>\n

As a Shake Up Learning trainer, Jen will be offering a 4-part webinar series this summer. Each webinar will explain several teaching strategies to help assess students in more engaging ways. Rather than dreading a stack of essays to read, teachers can look forward to interacting with student learning through these dynamic project ideas.<\/p>\n

Dynamic Learning is at the heart of Kasey Bell’s books, Shake Up Learning<\/em> and Blended Learning with Google<\/em>. Going beyond traditional, static assignments is what Dynamic Learning is all about!
