How did it go? At first the students asked which ones were wrong and I told them they had to find them. They actually worked with one another, comparing their answer and figuring out why they were different. So it worked well!]]> 2017-10-25 12:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200368338 https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200425840 When calling on students I use my popsicle sticks. After  I call their name I put the sticks back into the container so that they always have to be ready to called on. 
I also use mini white boards much more during my whole group math lessons. This way I can get a quick formative assessment on which students got it and which don't.]]> 2017-10-25 14:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200425840 https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200426501 I have been using the "no hands" and trying to only pull from my popsicle sticks when I ask a question. I am still getting used to the "no hands" but it seems to be working well and let's more students answer and share what they are thinking. ]]> 2017-10-25 14:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200426501 anastrom https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200427681 I work with 1 or 2 students at a time so it is really hard to try and incorporate anything new or different that I wasn't already doing prior to Dylan's presentation.

I have been using formative assessments more often to monitor which students are getting the concept, and which students need more small group instruction.  I have been using this to monitor the students that need more challenge also, so I can adjust the activity to best meet their needs.

This has been working very well and my students seem to be more on task using this technique.  They know that they need to be paying attention.  I don't know why I didn't use this earlier? ]]> 2017-10-25 14:46:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200436908 https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200450442 I have been doing the no hands.

It has been working pretty well in my classroom and I've seen a huge improvement in focus and student engagement. It has been a little difficult for both the students and myself to remember they can't raise their hand. ]]> 2017-10-25 15:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200451621 https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200479914 I have putting my popsicle sticks back after using them so if students have been called on, they know they need to still be ready if asked again!]]> 2017-10-25 15:58:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200479914 https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200532880 I have tried no hands and sticks. I like no hands, because it lets them all have a chance and they have to be ready. I also have been doing phone a friend, which is nice for the student to think. I just need be better about going back to them!]]> 2017-10-25 17:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200532880 https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200553880 I have always used popsicle sticks, but now I am putting the sticks back in after calling on a student.

I have also been holding off to tell the students the answers to keep them more engaged. We have been having more discussions with neighbors before answering questions, this has cut down on a lot of chatter and helped my quieter students participate more. ]]> 2017-10-25 18:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200573583 https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200586496 I tried popsicle sticks and no hands. With popsicle sticks it's been working great putting their names back in so they are always on their toes ready. With no hands; it's difficult because when I did the raise hands method majority of students always rose their hand so there hasn't been much of a difference with kids not particpating or not wanting to. Great techniques trying! ]]> 2017-10-25 19:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200586496 mferreira7 https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200600015 I have been using Popsicle sticks more and more to call on students. I also put them back even after calling on them so they know they still have to pay attention. I also have been trying to have them think, pair up, and share with a partner to help them thinking about responses or even to check if they understood directions.  ]]> 2017-10-25 19:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200600015 https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200601020 I am using the random name chooser with my classes so that the students all are prepared to answer questions.

This specific feedback has been very helpful. Some students don't like not having a "score" on the top of their paper.

Students have been more engaged, and they are realizing that "I don't know" is not a sufficient answer anymore.]]> 2017-10-25 20:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200611443 https://padlet.com/sedwards44/8zmez0mvcs2f/wish/200611452 I have been putting the sticks back into the cup vs. keeping them out after using it.
