What Is Google Workspace for Education? (And How It’s Changed Since Google Apps) More than a decade ago, teachers were just beginning to explore the power of Google’s free productivity tools in the classroom. What began as Google Apps for Education—a simple suite of tools like Gmail, Docs, and Drive—has grown into a full learning ecosystem now known as Google Workspace for Education. From “Google Apps” to “Workspace” Google rebranded its education suite twice: first as G Suite for Education in 2016, and again in 2021 as Google Workspace for Education. The new name reflects how tightly the tools integrate—Docs,…
contributed by Tasneem Tazkiya There’s a quiet strength that hums beneath the surface of every school. You won’t find it listed in curriculum guides or measured on a standardized test. It’s the strength of teachers: the invisible, enduring power that holds classrooms, communities, and futures together. Teachers are often praised for what they do, but rarely for the unseen ways they are. Their influence reaches far beyond their classroom walls into hearts, homes, and the lives of the students who carry their lessons long after the school year ends. I’ve taught high school science for several years in a public school that serves a…
‘Noise’ is part of learning in an elementary classroom. This is especially true when students transition from movement to seated work or shift between collaborative and independent tasks. The goal is not silence. The goal is being able to bring everyone together quickly and calmly so learning stays on track. Teach one routine at a time, practice when students are already calm, and use consistent language so signals feel predictable and safe. A quick reference teachers can teach, model, and practice with young learners. Related: Classroom Management • Social Emotional Learning • Best Articles About Classroom Management • 20 Ways…

by TeachThought Staff You want to teach with what’s been proven to work. That makes sense. In the ‘data era’ of education that’s mean research-based instructional strategies to drive data-based teaching, and while there’s a lot to consider here we’d love to explore more deeply, for now we’re just going to take a look at the instructional strategies themselves. See also Hattie’s Index Of Effect Sizes. But upside to sharing this information as a post is that it can act a starting point to research the above, which is why we’ve tried to include links, related content, and suggested reading…
by TeachThought Staff What is ‘3 Before Me’? ‘3 Before Me’ is a simple classroom strategy–arguably both a teaching and learning strategy–that requires that when students experience a challenge, they must first ask three different people for help before reaching out to the teacher. An evolution of that strategy? When students become ‘stuck,’ they must first try to solve the problem in three different ways before asking the teacher. This makes it more flexible. You can require students to ask one person and seek two resources or two people and one resource. You also can group students in your classroom…
