Today ‘s teachers work to meet the individual needs more so than when I was young. Also, most obviously, there is a wide range of tools and technology now available. #frecklevirtualsummit

A student started the year with no confidence & limited academic skills finished strong. He wrote the most touching poem. #frecklevirtualsummit

'Upgrade the Worksheet: Place Value' - https://t.co/z9N6Bftm63

[Karen Morris @MsKarenMorris]

@alicekeeler Love the Add-Ons & Templates you’ve shared as well as your Google Classroom books!

[Karen Morris @MsKarenMorris]

@alicekeeler RE: MarkAsGraded Add-On menu option, Could you add "Differentiated Task Needed" for times when the task is not the right fit for the student's abilities? Are Incomplete & Unfinished the same thing?

[Karen Morris @MsKarenMorris]

@alicekeeler No, this is not a customization request. I was just responding to your request in the document instructions for other menu options that need to be included.

[Karen Morris @MsKarenMorris]
