I realized that many of the intrinsic skills I use while reading are not something that my students have yet. Using Critical Reading, I can help those skills develop. Philosophical chairs then allow students to share the knowledge they've gained. I think they will work well in tandem.

What are some upper level science examples for how philosophical chairs are used. I tried to wrack my brain on how i can incorporate this in Physics and I got stuck a little bit.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned how Nearpod is a platform that allows you to integrate many different types of activities like videos, polls, short responses and article annotations.

# data[].attributes.body
I realized that these strategies are actually easier to incorporate into my lessons than I thought. I have a lot of apprehension when trying new strategies because I always worry about time. When I taught biology, I did not have any wiggle room to go back and reteach if needed, so I tended to rely on strategies that were handed to me from the more experienced teachers.

Can platforms like Nearpod be easily integrated into google classroom

# data[].attributes.body
Since time is always a consideration in the classroom, I do not facilitate a lot of discussion like philosophical chairs, however I think that the skills that are developed during the process are so important that it needs to be a more integral part of my curriculum.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  I didn't know you could embedd documents for annotation.  That will allow for critical reading strategies during online learning.
2.  I like the open ended or matching type of questions throughout the lesson.
3. You can create a rich and diverse learning experience online.

1.  Is nearpod a free application and if so what are the limitations?
2. Is nearpod able to be embedded into Schoology like it is in Canvas?

# data[].attributes.body
I like the concepts of critical reading and philosophical chairs, however time is tight, how do you set up the process - I am assuming this is over two to three days. The discussion and trust that is built with these activities between students is amazing.

1. The sticky notes activity with word limits are a great way to capture students' quick thoughts (forces them to be concise with thinking)

NearPod can be used to help students write out (type) their ideas and opinions and helps to keep the lessons interactive. It allows self-pace as well as different resources that teachers can incorporate. Visual representations can be given as well as a place for student to illustrate their understanding. Videos and links can be embedded to make the student experience more engaging.
