I strive to make my classroom a place where students feel the freedom to learn, explore, create, and make mistakes. I teach Science and Writing to three classes of 29 students each and try to find different ways to incorporate student choice and student voice in each of my lessons. I've also begun to implement genius hour in my classroom and it has been a great success!]]> 2017-12-12 16:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/215496805 jennifer_johnson7 https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/215497502 Madrona is a wonderfully diverse school full of bright students who are eager and excited to learn! Our school is led by Kellie Hernandez, a first year principal but long time member of the Madrona community]]> 2017-12-12 16:34:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/215497502 jennifer_johnson7 https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/215497776 Giving students access to technology and choice in what they want to create has lead to high engagement! Student choice and student voice is essential. Genius hour projects are a nice way to achieve this!]]> 2017-12-12 16:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/215497776 jennifer_johnson7 https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/215498103 Allowing students to collaborate with peers and think critically about something is one way to make sure students are engaged in their learning.]]> 2017-12-12 16:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/215498103 jennifer_johnson7 https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/215498512 I tried out stations for the first time and both I, and my students LOVED it. EVERY single student was deeply engaged and able to work through the stations  at their own pace, with the expectation that students finished at least 5 of the 6 stations over two, 60 minute sessions. ]]> 2017-12-12 16:36:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/215498512 jennifer_johnson7 https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/215498847 One of my big projects this year was to implement a genius hour for my students. This is a nice way to work on student voice and choice in my classroom, as well as meaningful integration of technology. A dedicated hour a week where they got to learn about whatever interested them most. They loved this time, the begged for this time each week, and they loved using technology to teach others about what they became genius's about. ]]> 2017-12-12 16:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/215498847 jennifer_johnson7 https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/215499123 I am really excited to continue to try out new things in my classroom! I am excited to try on new technology in my classroom, and find innovative ways for students to learn, and show what they are learning! The start of this year has been different, in that I have been hosting a student teacher, it has been a learning and growing experience for me. It has been difficult to take a step back and not be in control of my class, however it has given me a  chance to be reflective of my own practice. As I am looking ahead to taking control of my class back, I look forward to implementing what I am learning about in the DLC this year in my class.]]> 2017-12-12 16:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/215499123 jennifer_johnson7 https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/215501110

As a team, we have worked together to build a google slide show that we could share with staff to help them with technology integration in their own classrooms as well. ]]> 2017-12-12 17:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/215513965 jennifer_johnson7 https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/228890679 Instructions made for created group project]]> 2018-02-06 22:42:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/228890679 jennifer_johnson7 https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/228891459 As DLC members, we have been creating learning modules that can be used with our staff to bring back what we have been learning about in our time with Discovery Education training. ]]> 2018-02-06 22:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/228891459 jennifer_johnson7 https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/244285504 I have been looking for more opportunities to incorporate more student creation in my classroom. Today I spent an hour planning out a Mobile Museum that I plan on doing with my class this spring. This project will include a research and writing, technology integration, creating of diagrams, comparing using a Ven Diagram, creating a 3D model, and creating a Mural that shows the Biome. Ideally, this will be done and we can invite other classes into our room to visit our mobile museum. ]]> 2018-03-20 21:18:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/244285504 jennifer_johnson7 https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/244288339 Finding creative ways to engage them.]]> 2018-03-20 21:28:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_johnson7/15xdwfgi2sjx/wish/244288339
