I love this idea for shared close reading!

They have a lot of behavioral issues.  Maybe Kahoot! will help them engage more with the material instead of trying to engage each other in "naughty" behavior.

I will use the site recommended to make them come to life!

Kristen shared this Padlet with me, and it's been really fun to see your reflections on my ebook. Keep up the great work! :)

This app is something I want to try so I can keep my personal phone personal and still let my parents be able to contact me.

I also love the fact that it is FREE to use! I plan to use it for reading comprehension for my students. They love games so I see this being a success.

I'm hoping to use this next week when I introduce the vocab words for the week to get them more engaged. ]]> 2017-01-28 00:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/emailkristenlum/20nbix5ehfvr/wish/150016937 https://padlet.com/emailkristenlum/20nbix5ehfvr/wish/150140105 My students usually have trouble remembering vocabulary definitions, so I think playing a game of charades in groups and making the definitions "come to life" might help to make the words easier to understand and remember.

I love this idea that will remind my students that just because there is a substitute, I am assigning the work and still hold them responsible. I can leave a video with explanations of the work.
