Learning from Others<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sheryl loves to highlight the concept of learning together and learning from each other. Technology has opened the door for teachers everywhere to connect and collaborate with each other. Our teacher community becomes as large or small as we make it. Sheryl loves when other educators reach out to ask questions so her new job mentoring through BookWidgets is the perfect fit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The simple definition of BookWidgets that Sheryl explains is that it transforms a traditional learning environment into one that is an interactive hybrid, remote, face-to-face learning experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Digital Struggle Solution<\/span><\/h2>\n

Many educators share similar struggles in today\u2019s educational setting with more emphasis on utilizing digital options for students. Three of the most popular issues include digital content creation, digital lesson sharing, and grading or monitoring student work.<\/span><\/p>\n

BookWidgets is designed to solve these problems for educators<\/a>. They provide customizable templates for student assessment and learning activities. Whether that be an exit ticket type assessment or a reading comprehension exercise with text and questions, BookWidgets provides over 40 template options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The BookWidgets app will work on many different devices; phones, tablets, Chromebooks, and others allowing teachers to use what they already have access to. It can also integrate with any of the Learning Management Systems like Google Classroom, Schoology, Canvas, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most likely the best part about using BookWidgets for assessments is that about 90% of the question types are automatically graded! That means saving lots of time, but it\u2019s also possible to make adjustments as needed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sheryl also points out a neat feature that allows teachers to filter only incorrect answers. This allows teachers to quickly see the trends in missing information and focus on what was not fully grasped.\u00a0
