It would take quite a bit of scaffolding in order for students to understand the point of this game but I think it could be fun and engaging for them in both a government and geography class.]]> 2018-12-13 03:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314119493 j_kimmich23 https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314119985 This video shows the spread of religion across the world.

However, it is just as diverse, and ever-changing as any other continent, and this video tries to explain this. I would show this video as an introduction to any unit about Africa to help studetns understand this fact.]]> 2018-12-13 03:57:20 UTC https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314120380 j_kimmich23 https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314120548 This map shows the amount of corruption in each country in the world. Even cooler, it allows you to change the year so students could see how levels of corruption changed throughout the world over time. I would use this map how less corrupt countries are the ones we typically think of being more powerful and with a better quality of life.]]> 2018-12-13 03:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314120548 j_kimmich23 https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314120880 This website shows this teacher's course plans for nearly every course relating to social studies. Every course page is extremely in-depth to the point that I think I could teach an entire class just using what is on this website without too many issues. Anytime I need to find resources, assessments, assignments, PowerPoint presentations, or lesson plans for any subject, I would check his website.]]> 2018-12-13 04:02:16 UTC https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314120880 j_kimmich23 https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314121478 Jigsaw Reading is a strategy that has students, for example, break off into 4 groups. Each group would read a something different, discuss it with the groups, then break into groups of 4 (one who read each article) and teach what they read to their classmates. This strategy is effective when students need to comprehend information from several different readings. Each student has had the reading summarized for them by another student.]]> 2018-12-13 04:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314121478 j_kimmich23 https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314122324 Cooperative Learning puts students in groups and gives them all a specific job to do.

It is used to make students feel more confident in their answer before sharing and gives students time to think through the topic before expressing their opinion on it.]]> 2018-12-13 04:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314122651 j_kimmich23 https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314122844 This strategy has students tackle real-world problems relating to the content. It can be used in order to engage students with the topic and encourage them to think critically about a real-world problem. I would have an expert in that field discuss the problem with the students and help guide them through finding a particular solution, it would help in making the students feel valued and important.]]> 2018-12-13 04:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314122844 j_kimmich23 https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314123199 Having students prepare a presentation to present to their class and improve their social skills, public speaking ability, and teaching a topic to others is the best way to learn it. If I used this method, I would make sure to scaffold public speaking as much as possible, as it can be scary for some students]]> 2018-12-13 04:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314123199 j_kimmich23 https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314123500 Analyzing primary sources can help students build critical thinking skills, learn to think like a historian, and provide a deeper connection with the content than a simple lecture.

When using this strategy in a social studies class I would start by having students think of what they already know about whatever they are reading about, then have some guiding questions for them to fill out while they read, and after they read, have a short class discussion about what the writer was trying to say in the reading.]]> 2018-12-13 04:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314123774 j_kimmich23 https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314124167 Formative assessments are methods of checking for students' understanding before the assessment.

I think that games definitely have their place in education, but would be wary of using them too often. However, I do like the idea of having a game that loosely relates to the topic as an introduction or brain break for the students.]]> 2018-12-13 04:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/j_kimmich23/3kiwua6nu69a/wish/314124516
