The blog shared the different responses given by students.]]> 2023-09-18 12:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mstimac2/8dyccisjkt8uqzxf/wish/2708706564 How this is an Active Learning Experience mstimac2 https://padlet.com/mstimac2/8dyccisjkt8uqzxf/wish/2708707326 In order for an activity to be considered an active learning experience, the students need to be doing something hands on and be participating and these things did occur in this assignment. This active learning experience made the students think critically by only using 6 words to sum up months of time. That is not an easy task to do. The students were reflective and expressive which is always great to do in the classroom. ]]> 2023-09-18 12:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mstimac2/8dyccisjkt8uqzxf/wish/2708707326 Additional Ideas mstimac2 https://padlet.com/mstimac2/8dyccisjkt8uqzxf/wish/2708707959 One suggestion I have for this activity is to ask students what could have made the school year better. We should always be looking for improvement. In order to make this even more active learning, the students could also be asked to work together so it promotes more collaboration between each other.]]> 2023-09-18 12:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mstimac2/8dyccisjkt8uqzxf/wish/2708707959 Resources on Active Learning mstimac2 https://padlet.com/mstimac2/8dyccisjkt8uqzxf/wish/2708708961
