Norris’ Nook –
Used this as an early finisher activity with 5th graders once they had completed an essay. They all found it super engaging and liked being able to jump to the slides that had the information they wanted to learn about, so it felt like they had more control over their learning. Links and videos worked (such a hassle when you find out they don’t!) and the checks for understanding along the way were helpful for me to know they were engaged.
