I have a worksheet.... now what? Update 2020

 It is now one and a half years after our first "I have a worksheet... now what?" post.   

Back in May of 2019 we spoke of formatting Google Docs with textboxes for responses, using Google Forms as well as leveraging Add-Ons Such as Alice Keeler's Pull Table for digital worksheet completion.

Earlier that year we also looked into ClassKick  which provided a way for students to draw on top of PDFs and access a toolbar with text, scribble and audio recording features. 

Wizer.me made its debut to the TechSpot in 2017 creating a more interactive experience for the student, but with perhaps more upfront work for the teacher. 

Remote learning heightened our awareness and increased the need for taking our paper tasks and enabling their access digitally.  Previous mentioned methods became more popular, and Google Slides allowed us to create backgrounds with our activities and have students respond on top. 

But then, here last month TeacherMade came out with a web application that is exactly what teachers had been looking for.  A quick and easy way to upload a worksheet and have students write on top with little to no prep. 

Here in today's TechTuesday, instead of just introducing TeacherMade, I decided to take a paper worksheet that I had given my students this week as a pre-reading activity and put it to the test of 4 top digital worksheet tools. 

You can view the Google Slides presentation alone to see some screenshots of my results and/or follow along with me as I test each one in the Loom recording:

Elementary teachers now have SeeSaw which enables them to push out a PDF for students to complete.  The above applications may have some features that could further enhance some of  your activities and certainly be assigned through your SeeSaw platform as well.   Is there anything that stands out to you? Let us know in the comments below! 

Have you been able to try any of these applications yet?

How did it go? 

Would you mind sharing a sample with us? 

As always I would love to hear how I can help you brainstorm new ways that technology can enhance and amplify what you do in the classroom! jtamburlin.youcanbook.me
