Are you looking for a tech-infused way to encourage reading in your class? How about a reading challenge that shows off the parameters you decide to challenge your students with ... whether it's number of pages, number of books, or something else. John Sowash has created and shared this reading challenge using Google Forms to collect and ultimately share this with your students, and possibly your families.  He even includes ready-to-go templates to help you get going. Thanks, John!

HOW CAN TEACHERS USE THIS RESOURCE?

I can see teachers using this to inspire and encourage their students to level up their reading in a friendly class challenge way. And since John has the templates ready-to-go, it makes it easy for teachers to get started with this immediately.

John Sowash, of the Chromebook Classroom, shared these 5 project ideas recently and I think they are great! If you listen to his podcast episode about it, he shares several awesome tips and ways to utilize these projects in your classroom.

I'd also propose not isolating these to the end of the year ... book mark this and come back to it at various points of the year. The Mt Rushmore activity might be my favorite. It can work for any content and depending on your requirements, it can be a project used for students to demonstrate learning in a deep way.
