Yes! Think about all the great tools you'll have in front of you by using the chromebook. Even Presidential candidates bring notes to their debates! However, my biggest fear is that the chromebooks will be a distraction. We'll have to find the right balance between using them and engaging in a conversation

Yes. You will be asked to do both roles which is why we'll need two socratic circles

A fishbowl is another name/nickname for Socratic circles

In Social Studies? Possibly in the near future. I could imagine it working well as a learning tool!

Yup! High School too!

No. The coach will only provide feedback for their partner. Notice, I'm deliberately using the word feedback and not grade.

Everyone will have at least one coach. We'll start by asking for volunteers and pair up those without partners

Groups will be volunteer first. If we need to balance out the numbers, then I we'll work it out

How will padlet help us in the socratic discussion

# data[].attributes.body
Padlet will help us in a few ways. First, it will allow us to share resources (like your learning tools). Additionally, it will allow others to participate when they don't feel like they have an opportunity to. Third, it will be a great tool for us to reflect on our discussion and research

# data[].attributes.body
Absolutely

# data[].attributes.body
They help us to share knowledge while building our listening and speaking skills. I find it works much better than just having a teacher lecturing

# data[].attributes.headline
How often will we use tools like Padlet?

What is the difference between a socratic discussion and a debate?

# data[].attributes.body
Socratic circles involve coaches who observe and give feedback. In a debate, you usually don't have that. Instead you would just have a teacher or group of teachers judge who won the debate

Coaches wil observe for the entire discussion. Halfway through, we will have a "halftime". Coaches will then be asked to meet with their partner(s) and provide them with strengths and next steps. We will repeat this process at the conclusion of the discussion.

# data[].attributes.body
It really depends on the group. Most discussions last about 20-30 minutes. Keep in mind we will need to have two discussions so that each person can participate in the discussion and be a coach.

# data[].attributes.body
The second group will be known as the "coaches". The role of coaches is to provide feedback to discussion participants. They will be asked to provide their partner(s) will helpful tips and ways to improve.

# data[].attributes.body
Approximately half the class will be starting as members of the discussion group. They will be the ones who speak and share their opinions and questions during the discussion. This image illustrates what the set up looks like...

# data[].attributes.body
Treat others the way you want to be treated

Don't let Padlet distract you from listening to the views of others

Keep your posts on topic

# data[].attributes.body
Socratic Circles are a way to engage in a discussion or debate. They help students to improve their oral argument and listening skills while helping them to build knowledge about a particular topic.

It will definitely take some discipline! I'm hoping Padlet will make our discussion that much better, but if it becomes a distraction we'll ditch it and find another way.

# data[].attributes.body
It's helpful to keep our posts organized so we can find what we need. Once you've posted, click on the post to drag it to it's proper place

# data[].attributes.body
You can make your "sticky note" wider if you click the green editing pencil icon and move your cursor to the right hand side of the post. Once you do, and arrow will appear that allows you to drag and enlarge your note

# data[].attributes.body
Do your best not to alter/change the posts of other contributors! It's better to let them make the changes.

# data[].attributes.body
When you hover over a post, you will notice a green pencil icon in the upper right. Clicking it will allow you to edit/change what's in the post. The red trash can icon will delete the post entirely

# data[].attributes.body
At the bottom of posts, you'll notice a few icons. They allow you to add additional features such as videos, images, and attachements. Sometimes though, I find it easier to just post a link right in the post instead

# data[].attributes.body
To add something to our Padlet board, simply double click on any open area. Then type your addition. Once you've finished, click somewhere else to post!
