I wonder how teachers determine grouping of students for content area instruction and learning: Is it by grade, ability, interests, pre-assessments, etc. How does a teacher recognize/determine what grade level standards to focus on with each student to best set them up for success?]]> 2017-06-08 13:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/klogan7/2j2a5x2aw80z/wish/175725259 https://padlet.com/klogan7/2j2a5x2aw80z/wish/175727591 When I first thought of multi aged teaching I was worried about students competing with each other. After watching the video I now know students work as "teams" or in groups to complete work. I think this is useful for the 7th graders that are advanced and looking for the opportunity to further their education. I also think this will prepared the 8th graders for high school. Also, having the choice in what they learn will encourage students to be more engaged in the classroom. ]]> 2017-06-08 13:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/klogan7/2j2a5x2aw80z/wish/175727591 https://padlet.com/klogan7/2j2a5x2aw80z/wish/175728314 I like how students have the ability to work ahead as the lower level or backtrack for a deeper understanding/remediation as the higher grade level. (Nock)]]> 2017-06-08 13:22:30 UTC https://padlet.com/klogan7/2j2a5x2aw80z/wish/175728314 https://padlet.com/klogan7/2j2a5x2aw80z/wish/175728514 I like the idea of having your students for two years for the simple fact that you will know their strengths and their weaknesses. You will also know what concepts they mastered and what concepts they struggled with. I think this is also where pre-assessments will be extremely important to determine what lessons they will need whether it is 7th grade or 8th grade.]]> 2017-06-08 13:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/klogan7/2j2a5x2aw80z/wish/175728514 kkouba https://padlet.com/klogan7/2j2a5x2aw80z/wish/175729285 I like how the video we watched whole group presented some ideas we are already doing: student choice, movable furniture, technology, and student generated questions. ]]> 2017-06-08 13:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/klogan7/2j2a5x2aw80z/wish/175729285 https://padlet.com/klogan7/2j2a5x2aw80z/wish/175730078 One of my thoughts is how much background scaffolding goes into getting students to function at that level. Middle schoolers are middle schoolers, even in Inquiry/Montessori classroom. teaching kids how to still stay on task when they have choice in their work, or how to use iPads effectively and not just play games is a process. Getting 7th graders to buy into being leaders and co learners is a process. You have to start specific with process, make sure everyone's on the same page, and slowly build to that level of independence.

What are others strategies to train students to use their chromebooks and the Ipads effectively and responsibly in the classroom?]]> 2017-06-08 14:00:17 UTC https://padlet.com/klogan7/2j2a5x2aw80z/wish/175736570
