It's more of an informal teaching tool that can be used by an extremely wide age and subject group. It's fast, It's easy, and the kids love it!]]> 2021-09-10 20:37:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hankenm20/gco7lhnp4g4vb6e8/wish/1731836605 hankenm20 https://padlet.com/hankenm20/gco7lhnp4g4vb6e8/wish/1750761491 QR codes can be really useful and fun in a classroom because they are easy to make and useful for kids of all ages. They can be used for an online assignment or you can print them out and kids can still complete the assignment. I have also found them useful to put in notes that I print out so if I need the link quickly I have it right there and it's no fuss.]]> 2021-09-18 18:51:24 UTC https://padlet.com/hankenm20/gco7lhnp4g4vb6e8/wish/1750761491 hankenm20 https://padlet.com/hankenm20/gco7lhnp4g4vb6e8/wish/1768263610 This week I sent my students to Disneyland! My whole class is about the history of the Disney Parks and I thought, "Well, the first place they should see is the first park." So I found a great website that had all the ride POV in order and sorted by section of the park. For my assignment I had my students pick one attraction for each section of the park, see what it was like, and do a little research. Then I added an after field trip part to the end of the worksheet to see what they found most interesting! ]]> 2021-09-26 08:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/hankenm20/gco7lhnp4g4vb6e8/wish/1768263610 hankenm20 https://padlet.com/hankenm20/gco7lhnp4g4vb6e8/wish/1787030027 Interactive presentations are incredibly useful for just about any grade level! It gets kids in a mindset that they are ready to learn. No kid just wants to sit and hear the teacher go on and on about what they are talking about. They want to feel part of the action! It helps them grow their confidence as well as feel more interested in the material! Science actually shows that children can hold the information better that way. The benefits are endless. The best part being that it's so easy to set up! Especially with Pear Deck that you can do a presentation online or in person and students can even follow the presentation on their own! This is extremely good for the future of online learning]]> 2021-10-03 10:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/hankenm20/gco7lhnp4g4vb6e8/wish/1787030027 hankenm20 https://padlet.com/hankenm20/gco7lhnp4g4vb6e8/wish/1804948002 I am really excited to answer this question! My mom has been an innovation specialist for the SDJ for almost 10 years, so I hear about new STEM technology for all grade levels almost every day! It's so exciting to learn about things like 3D printers and different robots.]]> 2021-10-10 06:29:43 UTC https://padlet.com/hankenm20/gco7lhnp4g4vb6e8/wish/1804948002 hankenm20 https://padlet.com/hankenm20/gco7lhnp4g4vb6e8/wish/1872170582 I think collaborating together with other educators is so important. When working together to make a webquest that students can really enjoy and see as a very useful tool requires a large amount of collaboration and also trust. They have to trust that you can work together and come from the same place of wanting to create this space that will help your students have a good resource. It's important to take time out of our busy day to help those who need it and when we help other teachers, we are in the long run, helping our students.]]> 2021-11-07 02:20:51 UTC https://padlet.com/hankenm20/gco7lhnp4g4vb6e8/wish/1872170582 hankenm20 https://padlet.com/hankenm20/gco7lhnp4g4vb6e8/wish/1889545394 I know all teachers know the importance of feedback to their students, it is vital to the learning process, but video feedback is a really simple way to get more of that 1 on 1 feedback students need at a quicker pace so the student can feel confident in their learning and understand what they need to improve on, quicker. Teachers may not have time to schedule a break in classwork to take the time for 1 on 1 feedback time, so making it online doesn't take away time that could be used for something else.]]> 2021-11-14 18:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hankenm20/gco7lhnp4g4vb6e8/wish/1889545394 hankenm20 https://padlet.com/hankenm20/gco7lhnp4g4vb6e8/wish/1929816311 I made a Jamboard so my students could fill in their opinions about what each page of the Jamboard asks. Then because I don't have actual students I put pretend answers to my questions. I really enjoyed working with Jamboard because it's really useful for collaborative work between students and between teacher and student.]]> 2021-12-05 18:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/hankenm20/gco7lhnp4g4vb6e8/wish/1929816311
