Good Morning,
As we kick off Black History Month I wanted to provide you with some quality Black History Month Digital resources. Below are links and a brief description of the resources.
Google Applied Digital Skills Lessons First an introduction to Google's Applied Digital Skills - Applied Digital Skills is an online, project-based learning curriculum. Each lesson asks students to actively apply their learning of digital skills to help them solve real-world problems. Students watch videos that instruct them step-by-step how to build digital projects from scratch. Students who complete a lesson will have a project that demonstrates their academic learning, such as an infographic or an interactive story, or career readiness, such as a resume or a portfolio. - https://applieddigitalskills.withgoogle.com/en/teach
The Applied Digital skills lesson for Black History month consists of 7 different activities that you can choose from . They range from student created Google Slides, or sites to creating posters, or song. I could envision this being a choice board for students to select for their project.
Discovery Education African American Experiences Channel - Discovery Education has created a channel of information for Black History Month. Notice that the activities are broken into grade bands of K-5, 6-8, 9-12. These resources include History, Culture, and Politics. Students and teachers can explore images, reading passages, and videos around African American Experiences. You can subscribe to the channel to receive updates and new material.
National Museum of African American History & Culture Learning Labs - The Learning Labs are a branch from the Smithsonian African American History and Culture. The Learning Labs contain learning activities centered around primary resources from the Smithsonian.
