Figma: Design and Collaborate Online

I heard about Figma as a site to replace jamboard from the Teaching Channel. I love learning about new tools, especially free ones. I could sign up for a free account, which limits me to three projects. Upon setting up my account, I was prompted with the following:

I decided to check out the Whiteboard features.

What I like about it:

  • ease of use
  • layout
  • collaborative
  • timer (not startling when it goes off!)
  • music: relaxing, upbeat, etc.

Paid features:

  • voting
  • more storage
My overall thoughts:
It would be worth trying the free account to see if it's a great fit for your classroom. I love the idea of students working while reminders are on the board. This website would work great for how I operate. I would have expectations, a to-do list, and a timer to help students focus and manage student behaviors.

Freebie Focus: All About Me Science Beaker

I hunted for new and free resources and found this get-to-know-me activity. It is a beaker for students to complete on themselves and can be found here . The creator, The Crafty Teacher TX , permitted me to share this resource. It is appropriate for a middle school classroom and has questions that are great ice-breakers, like if you were on a deserted island, what three things would you need? This could be assigned on the first day of school or completed in class and posted on the walls.
