It was our job to know how our character acted and said. The teacher made us responsible for our learning and it was amazing.]]> 2016-09-01 15:00:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcmonagle/cmi1832gpdow/wish/121108420 https://padlet.com/kmcmonagle/cmi1832gpdow/wish/121108442 I remember when we were in MSOE and did an activity in being in a state of flow. This activity was simple all we did was form a circle and our goal was to get as many balls possible being passed around at the same time. This activity was important because it teaches kids the type of focus and energy that creating music in a group requires]]> 2016-09-01 15:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcmonagle/cmi1832gpdow/wish/121108442 https://padlet.com/kmcmonagle/cmi1832gpdow/wish/121108485 I remember being fascinated by the planets in the Magic School Bus game I used to play in the library.

She was frustrated by a concept we were working on just during that lesson I discovered so many different ways to help her discover ways to help herself learn. By the end of the lesson she was able to play the song all the way through and then we played it as a duet. I was inspired to think outside the box of my usual teaching methods.

Each team had to collect sufficient evidence and facts to support their claim. ]]> 2016-09-01 15:02:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcmonagle/cmi1832gpdow/wish/121109048
