Turn The January PebbleGo Monthly Holiday Calendar Into An Interactive PebbleGo & PebbleGo Next Choice Board!

      

Earlier this year, I wrote about the super fun holiday calendars that our friends at Capstone create and share each month.  

You will find this post explaining more here on my blog. 

I love making paper copies of these to share with our teachers and kids. They hang them up in their classrooms and hang them in our library too. I also share them online through social media and as an image in Google Classroom or Seesaw. 

Here is the one for January 2023 Holidays. 

One day earlier this year when I was sharing the calendars with teachers and students, I thought....Hey, this would be really fun in a choice board! 

So, I opened up a Google Slide, uploaded the PebbleGo January 2023 Holidays Calendar, and added a little chalk board with text over the top.  

Then I went through the calendar and found every special day in PebbleGo and PebbleGo Next.  

For example, the first holiday is Science Fiction Day on January 2. The PebbleGo Next article about Robots is featured on this day. 

I went to PebbleGo Next and found the Robots article. I grabbed the link, as shown in the image above. 

I took that link and added a linked text box around each special date. 

Now, when the kids click on a holiday, it will take them directly to that PebbleGo article.  

I can't wait to share this with our students and teachers each month.  If you want to use the template to create your own, you will find the Google Slide here to make a copy and add links to the PebbleGo and PebbleGo Next articles. 

And to make it a choice board, just Publish to the web, as shown in this image above. 

I plan to do this every month so will keep on sharing them with all of you too. 

Have a wonderful January,  friends. Happy New Year.
