One of the "obstacles" was the number of stations needed for a large class in order to keep group sizes small. The article suggested using mirrored stations in order to do this; having two identical stations on opposite sides of the room so that if you had 10 kids at the same rotation, they're in 2 groups of 5 instead.]]> 2021-04-28 19:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470922223 Students learn most when they are actively engaged. https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470922582 Teach them that struggle is a good thing. When they work to solve problems in groups, they learn more than passively listening from a teacher.]]> 2021-04-28 19:58:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470922582 Culture https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470922777 It's important to build trust and respect in order for students to feel safe and comfortable to learn/share in an online environment. ]]> 2021-04-28 19:58:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470922777 Social Emotional Learning MATTERS krystlestehno https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470923392 With an emphasis on technology-based lessons, students can feel isolated. We need to be careful about making sure that we are allowing opportunities for students to connect with each other and the teacher in order to give students a better learning environment. These connections motivate students to do better and try harder.]]> 2021-04-28 19:58:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470923392 Wakelet https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470923547 One location you can place many online tool/resources for the students to use.

How do we balance empowering students to make choices for themselves while also aligning our classes with empirically demonstrated best practices?]]> 2021-04-28 19:58:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470923796 nathanrodemeyer https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470924595 Giving students choice will help with motivation as well. Choices can start small (binary choices, choice board, selecting order, etc.)]]> 2021-04-28 19:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470924595 I really thought the idea for doing the mini-lesson on Monday and then the other 4 days of the week were stations and students could spend longer times per station was a good idea, especially if incorporating any sort of hands-on learning. https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470924705 2021-04-28 19:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470924705 Choice Boards Prioritize Student Choice https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470924886 Organization of choice boards provides teachers with opportunities to develop learning experiences that are meaningful and relevant to students, which can increase the value students place on a task]]> 2021-04-28 19:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470924886 Students need time to adjust https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470925611 2021-04-28 19:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470925611 Structure and Choice https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470926190 Teachers must provide good structure to the class (whether that's in stations, choice for in-class activities, etc.) in order for students to be able to make good choices for themselves and their learning.]]> 2021-04-28 19:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470926190 The Learning Pit https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470928046 If you stay in your learning comfort zone, you'll never actually learn anything new. ]]> 2021-04-28 20:00:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynhafner/g9kxkkxqp1363olq/wish/1470928046 Do not under estimate the importance of prep and practice.

This shows them that you trust them. When you make a mistake, don't sweat about it! In fact, you should point out the mistakes that you make to show kids that it's okay to make mistakes and we actually grow from them.
