-It means the students take on a more active role in the learning process

This could be used during math to help students solve word problems, history to show them significant events, and even language arts in a readers theatre.

This puts them in the center of the lesson as they act out the events they are learning about.]]> 2016-07-27 22:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/nsoyka/een7qnloqum3/wish/117096536 Debate nsoyka https://padlet.com/nsoyka/een7qnloqum3/wish/117096602 Debate is another great way to involve kids in the learning process. 

It is important that the teacher shows a neutral approach or the students will assume the teacher is always right.

Students can debate different moments in history, different methods in science, and even different thoughts in stories for ELA]]> 2016-07-27 22:48:35 UTC https://padlet.com/nsoyka/een7qnloqum3/wish/117096602 Cooperative Learning Groups nsoyka https://padlet.com/nsoyka/een7qnloqum3/wish/117096645 I am a huge fan of having students work together in groups.

Students learn to problem solve and interact with other people which can definitely be considered higher level thinking.

Students can problem solve in their groups in every subject, not everything needs an independent assessment because throughout your life you are almost never on your own.]]> 2016-07-27 22:50:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nsoyka/een7qnloqum3/wish/117096645 Real World Activities nsoyka https://padlet.com/nsoyka/een7qnloqum3/wish/117096726 Giving students real life activities and helping them apply to the real world is a great way to help them gain experience.

Students can apply for classroom jobs and learn things about responsibility and real life problem solving.

Student can also use class jobs as a way to earn currency and learn about the economy.]]> 2016-07-27 22:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/nsoyka/een7qnloqum3/wish/117096726 nsoyka https://padlet.com/nsoyka/een7qnloqum3/wish/117096902 2016-07-27 22:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/nsoyka/een7qnloqum3/wish/117096902 nsoyka https://padlet.com/nsoyka/een7qnloqum3/wish/117096916 2016-07-27 22:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nsoyka/een7qnloqum3/wish/117096916 nsoyka https://padlet.com/nsoyka/een7qnloqum3/wish/117096958 2016-07-27 22:56:51 UTC https://padlet.com/nsoyka/een7qnloqum3/wish/117096958
