So I looked through gaming and digital projects. I do a lot of games in my class already, but there were a few I had never heard of, like Gimkit. I am also interested in doing a digital project here at the end instead of another unit test.]]> 2019-05-01 14:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/swinneya/327cnkf9a3pr/wish/355817818 digital projects and gaming after the star test will be essential to surviving but still productive with setup for the next year. brentonc https://padlet.com/swinneya/327cnkf9a3pr/wish/355820048 2019-05-01 14:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/swinneya/327cnkf9a3pr/wish/355820048 Allison Speer: Literature Activity Choice Board speera3 https://padlet.com/swinneya/327cnkf9a3pr/wish/355842795 I explored the Literature Activity Choice Board.

When they buy in, there is a transfer of the knowledge and skills from the teacher to the student. Those now belong to the students. https://padlet.com/swinneya/327cnkf9a3pr/wish/355846516 -Tamara Beam]]> 2019-05-01 15:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/swinneya/327cnkf9a3pr/wish/355846516 As we develop digital projects, choice boards can widen the field for student learning. Given time to develop these, we can utilize them with our Romeo and Juliet Connection research project. I utilized something like this through Google Classroom for EOC review so that students could customize their remediation and review. https://padlet.com/swinneya/327cnkf9a3pr/wish/355847738 --Tamara Beam]]> 2019-05-01 15:49:32 UTC https://padlet.com/swinneya/327cnkf9a3pr/wish/355847738 25 Things I didn't know about Google. - Julie Cook https://padlet.com/swinneya/327cnkf9a3pr/wish/355848123 2019-05-01 15:50:17 UTC https://padlet.com/swinneya/327cnkf9a3pr/wish/355848123 I learned how to use Peardec to keep students engaged and get immediate feedback when doing direct instruction. - Julie Cook https://padlet.com/swinneya/327cnkf9a3pr/wish/355848498 2019-05-01 15:51:01 UTC https://padlet.com/swinneya/327cnkf9a3pr/wish/355848498 Allison Speer: Literature Activity Choice Board speera3 https://padlet.com/swinneya/327cnkf9a3pr/wish/355849251 I love the Novel Vocabulary activity. In order to enhance their vocabulary, students need to read and look for/look up words that are unknown to them.
