Who’s ready to kick off 2018 with a bang? I am, and I have put together some AWESOME challenges for any teacher that wants to kick things up a notch in the classroom this year. This is Shake Up Learning’s annual 18 Challenges for Teachers for 2018!
Inside this free, 83-page eBook download, you will find a series of 18 challenges that will challenge educators to try something new in their classroom in 2018! New ideas, new apps, new features, G Suite tips, and some fun extras along the way.
I started this series in 2016 as just a list and infographic (see 16 Things for Teachers to Try in 2016).
Then, in 2017, it became so much information that I offered it in the blog post and as a free PDF download (see 17 Things for Teachers to Try in 2017).
For 2018, I am taking things a step further! I am issuing this is a series of challenges for educators to complete throughout the year.
Since this is way too much information to fit in one blog post, 83 pages to be exact, I’ve put it into a handy PDF eBook download just for you!
