Science – Digital Learning Guidance for Elementary School
As you develop digital science lessons for students, consider the essential standards for the subject you teach. Whenever possible, create lessons that incorporate scientific literacy, critical thinking and problem-solving activities. Please keep in mind that no summative activities/grades should be assigned.
Here are links to the Digital Learning Days Guidance for teachers, parents and students: Teachers: https://www.paulding.k12.ga.us/Page/36434 Parents: https://www.paulding.k12.ga.us/site/Default.aspx?PageID=36386
