The teacher poses the question, waits (think time), draws a stick, and calls the student name. All students need to be prepared to engage. 

Kahoot: A game-based classroom response system where teachers can create questions and quizzes. ]]> 2021-10-26 21:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/annmariehogan49/as7z06hj93oc5umn/wish/1846283396 https://padlet.com/annmariehogan49/as7z06hj93oc5umn/wish/1846284582 Clarifying learning means being very clear with your students what they are learning in class. They should know their goals and all expectations. Teachers should give clear and explicit instructions so that students know exactly what they need to do to reach their goals. ]]> 2021-10-26 21:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/annmariehogan49/as7z06hj93oc5umn/wish/1846284582 https://padlet.com/annmariehogan49/as7z06hj93oc5umn/wish/1846285682 Sticky notes for questions about topics or for sharing what was learned during a lesson. Teachers can collect these in a physical classroom setting or virtually to use for a full class discussion of expectations]]> 2021-10-26 21:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/annmariehogan49/as7z06hj93oc5umn/wish/1846285682 Sanna https://padlet.com/annmariehogan49/as7z06hj93oc5umn/wish/1846286423 Motivating activating learners is important. Helping students learn new strategies and technique to record their progress helps them be more accurate with their performance and perform better while setting new learning goals. Having students become instructional resources for each other also helps them to rely and support each other more in the classroom. Using the Stop/Slow Signals: Using Red-Yellow-Green cards and having students indicate during the learning where they are in their understanding or where they are having trouble. Green indicates good to go
and keeping up. Yellow indicates there is a question but it is not
impeding the learning. Red indicates the student has a question
that is stopping them from further progress. This strategy is very useful to both students and teachers. Both can assess what to improve or work on. ]]> 2021-10-26 21:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/annmariehogan49/as7z06hj93oc5umn/wish/1846286423 MsKosmacher https://padlet.com/annmariehogan49/as7z06hj93oc5umn/wish/1846287589 In the midst of lessons and classes, teachers ask questions and prompt students to share what they know, questions they have, and what they understand or don't understand in the moment. ]]> 2021-10-26 21:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/annmariehogan49/as7z06hj93oc5umn/wish/1846287589 When people are trying to learn new skills, they must get some information that tells them whether or not they are doing the right thing. Learning in the classroom is no exception. Both the mastery of content and, more importantly, the mastery of how to think require trial-and-error learning.Providing feedback means to give students advice on how to get better at a certain strategy without giving them their grade. This helps them focus on the concept they are learning, rather than worrying about what grade or rank they are on. Feedback allows them to understand where they can improve. https://padlet.com/annmariehogan49/as7z06hj93oc5umn/wish/1846287642 2021-10-26 21:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/annmariehogan49/as7z06hj93oc5umn/wish/1846287642 Comment-only Marking is providing students with comments instead of their grades. be specific, the sooner is better. https://padlet.com/annmariehogan49/as7z06hj93oc5umn/wish/1846289411 2021-10-26 21:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/annmariehogan49/as7z06hj93oc5umn/wish/1846289411 https://padlet.com/annmariehogan49/as7z06hj93oc5umn/wish/1846293858 The practice helps to get students involved in their own learning and progress. Research found that when students are involved with monitoring their own progress, they take more responsibility in their learning. Giving them the autonomy over their own work helps them to develop a growth mindset, while learning together increases student achievement. ]]> 2021-10-26 21:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/annmariehogan49/as7z06hj93oc5umn/wish/1846293858
