With this activity, the teacher was able to highlight the how students viewed and interpreted the Code of Conduct.

Here students were able to list example of each, then were instructed to work in groups to create a graphic representation. ]]> 2018-06-01 02:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ortecyra/5blhqyi0d9aa/wish/264929318 ortecyra https://padlet.com/ortecyra/5blhqyi0d9aa/wish/264929423 Technology was used in a variety of ways, including the following:
- Smartboard to brainstorm ideas 
- Documents camera to bring graphics to life 
- PicCollage to put ideas together 
- iPad as a hand held device in which the students were already using in their classroom ]]> 2018-06-01 02:24:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ortecyra/5blhqyi0d9aa/wish/264929423 ortecyra https://padlet.com/ortecyra/5blhqyi0d9aa/wish/264929878 The activity used by the teacher fits the criteria for active learning because...
- The students were responsible for working cooperatively together in their group settings to accomplish the task
- Within this activity, the students were engaged in reading, writing, talking, listening, and reflecting to put their ideas together 
- Altogether the activity was engaging for students as it utilized the iPad and its application that the students were already familiar with 
- The purpose of the activity was focused towards students' needs as it taught students the importance of being respectful, responsible, and being safe ]]> 2018-06-01 02:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ortecyra/5blhqyi0d9aa/wish/264929878 ortecyra https://padlet.com/ortecyra/5blhqyi0d9aa/wish/264930251 "Students take responsibility for learning and engage the material through reading, writing, talking, listening, and reflecting." 
- Student centered
- The teacher serves as a facilitator 
- Students assess their own learning
- Emphasis on student voice and choice 
- Engaging, experimental, and mindful learning experience ]]> 2018-06-01 02:29:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ortecyra/5blhqyi0d9aa/wish/264930251 ortecyra https://padlet.com/ortecyra/5blhqyi0d9aa/wish/264931820 I realize that this activity was designed for elementary students, however I feel that critical thinking or out of the box thinking can be further utilized and developed. 
A second phase could follow after this first initial activity, where students describe how they see the Code of Conduct applied outside of the classroom. 
More importantly, how is this demonstrated by their guardians, role models, family, and friends. 
The emphasis of this secondary activity is that the Code of Conduct applies everywhere we go, and to everyone; not just teachers and students when they are in school. ]]> 2018-06-01 02:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ortecyra/5blhqyi0d9aa/wish/264931820
