This allows me to be able to sort my answers and navigate the data I receive. This can use as a form of morning work or homework becuase it can be administered quickly and students can work at their own pace and I will instantly receive results.]]> 2017-09-02 23:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/abm95110/fuwuvl5zdivq/wish/184376509 abm95110 https://padlet.com/abm95110/fuwuvl5zdivq/wish/184376671 I love how this strategy can easily mix into cooperative learning. I think student would respond well to this kind of activity when the unit requires activating knowledge previously learned or from reading. It also creates a concrete copy that we can add to or revisit.]]> 2017-09-02 23:08:43 UTC https://padlet.com/abm95110/fuwuvl5zdivq/wish/184376671 abm95110 https://padlet.com/abm95110/fuwuvl5zdivq/wish/184376881 Student Response cards can help me pre-assess information that is relevant to what I am immediately beginning to teach. By using cards labeled "I know, I'm lost" or " I understand, I'm lost" I can see terms that I may need to explain or parts of my lesson that I need to focus more on depending on responses from all students. ]]> 2017-09-02 23:16:57 UTC https://padlet.com/abm95110/fuwuvl5zdivq/wish/184376881 abm95110 https://padlet.com/abm95110/fuwuvl5zdivq/wish/184377015 Journal prompts are a great way to pre-assess students. It can provide the teacher with a better understanding of of the knowledge each student is bringing to the table. This can also be used as a tool to reflect on what students learn or how their views change. ]]> 2017-09-02 23:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/abm95110/fuwuvl5zdivq/wish/184377015 abm95110 https://padlet.com/abm95110/fuwuvl5zdivq/wish/184454636 KWL charts are something that can be quick or in detail. My favorite way to use this strategy is by using post-its while students are doing a reading. This can help them check for understanding as well. Students can compare with peers every step of the process.]]> 2017-09-04 02:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/abm95110/fuwuvl5zdivq/wish/184454636 abm95110 https://padlet.com/abm95110/fuwuvl5zdivq/wish/184456203 I would love to use the as a class activity. I would like to write a prompt or question on the board and have students place their answers around them. I can then sort the answers received to help guide my instruction. ]]> 2017-09-04 02:19:11 UTC https://padlet.com/abm95110/fuwuvl5zdivq/wish/184456203
