Let's get digital, digital!

Get otter here! This activity is the perfect resource to combine math (namely number recognition) with fine/gross motor skills, digitally! Not only will this resource tackle these skills, it will also act as a wonderful tool for visual and tactile learners alike. With the incorporation of adorable animal cartoons, students will unknowingly apply their number knowledge during this activity.

Continue to marry education and technology in your 21st century classroom with this fabulous resource that allows students to display knowledge digitally.

Teaching in a 1:1 district is a blessing, but not everyone has that luxury. If needed, incorporate digital resources slowly, through resources like Google Drive, Google Classroom and Microsoft Drive, or even email! A paperless classroom is an amazing thing to aspire towards - it certainly yields less paperwork!

Digital learning provides numerous opportunities for differentiation, modification, collaboration and more. It provides students with the opportunity to self-pace and self-assess, changing how we know and understand education.

You may be asking what is a digital resource? In reality, it's not much different from the tactile experience. Essentially, an educator distributes their materials in a web-based platform, like Google Drive, which reproduces to their students and their devices. Students then are able to access, edit, alter and print files from their own technologies.

Using digital learning tools is amazing! It doesn't require printing (and jammed printers), often features automatic save, maintains students' documents in a single location, is highly engaging and so much more! I'm typing this on a computer now, aren't I?!

This activity is accessible in both printable and digital formats. Simply print the included files for a tactile experience. The resource is available in PowerPoint , as well as in Google Slides (link in Legal Pages). Students may benefit from inserting arrows and lines should they exhibit weak motor skills. The use of color in this product is intended to encourage creativity and fun. My students preferred completing it on Microsoft OneNote and made their notes/marks with Microsoft Ink or typing directly onto the printed slides.
