Google Cardboard glasses!!! Perfect for taking students places! Bringing the world inside the classroom. :)

The students were participating in a google expedition where they were able to virtually visit sites that they will be learning about in upcoming lessons.

Students were building a model of the layers of the earth with food items that were similar in textures to the actual layers of the earth.

Students played Family Feud and worked well in teams. The game was a fun activity that kept them all engaged, but also encouraged working as a team.

Lewter's story-telling manner of teaching history- how she made it relevant and connected it to a trip she had taken and photos she had taken herself. Technology was involved in every classroom in some manner and collaboration between children was apparent.

Interactive journaling

I loved the controlled chaos in both Pearson's and Casselli's rooms. Pearson didn't have a ton of technology going on, but she obviously trusted students enough to let them toss a ball around while checking work. Casselli had an amazing "Family Feud" game that all students seemed to be paying attention to and enjoying.

Enjoyed the Family Feud game and the concept of flipped teaching, very neat.

We observed Kahoot, Google Classroom and Google Tourbuilder all being used to build student engagement.

There seems to be an emphasis on project-based learning, where a great deal of the information is naturally front-loaded, but then students are able to take this learning and make it applicable. This solidifies learning and makes it more exciting as well
