What I Learned:
I was really into Unit 8 and all the new information I learned about Google Maps, Google Earth, My Maps, Google Lit Trips and Expeditions. I want to explore these tools more and think about how we as teams can use them in the beginning of our ELA modules to build background knowledge, and then use them throughout the Modules to extend learning.
What I Want to Implement:
I immediately went to Google Lit Trips, signed up, and requested access to the Esperanza Rising lit trip which is our 5th grades first major text. I am excited to explore this resource and share it with other coaches and our 5th grade teachers. I think that this will be an amazing extension to our virtual learning this fall.

Andrea! I'm thrilled about your Blog post. My hope is always that 1. You can learn something new and exciting 2. You are eager to explore beyond the unit. 3. You FIND something you can implement into your current curriculum! BRAVO! Hope the students enjoy the Lit Trip!
