Notice the difference between Planet Turtle and Dream Box. Why did Mr. Pronovost choose to use both programs?
How does Mr. Pronovost structure his lesson to incorporate technology?]]> 2018-03-25 20:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/245877353 AEIOU herveylisa https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/245877414 ADD sticky below with your AEIOU  as a reaction to video.]]> 2018-03-25 20:22:49 UTC https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/245877414 REFLECT herveylisa https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/245880953 3 things you learned about Padlet.

This site allows students to practice basic concepts. This is the same practice for everyone.

The teacher then instructed the students to use Dream Box.  Dream box is an app that is based on  individual needs and the students are provided practice according to the student's level.

He introduced the concept first. Then the students were allowed to use Planet Turtle or Dream Box. This allowed the teacher to work with small groups. Also, this provided immediate feedback for the students and the teacher.

Good site! We will use this idea on Fridays during Math centers.
We use Zearn.
 Zearn aligns with Engage NY. We also have Door 24 that aligns with i-Ready.

The students were also given tools, such as the white boards which kept them engaged without direction and supervision. After completing basic practice on Planet Turtle, students knew to move on to Dream Box for leveled independent work. 

-Planet Turtle is basic practice which review the concepts they had been learning as a whole group. Students were able to receive immediate feedback from the program. Dream Box was individualized for each student and allowed them to move forward as they successfully completed each level. 

-The teacher introduced the lesson in whole group instruction using clue words, reminding them to add or subtract. Students were then instructed to begin on Planet Turtle, then move on to Dream Box for independent work. This allowed the teacher to work in small groups with the students who were struggling or needed extra help with the topic.

Yellow- Extension activities, for the students who complete their assignment. Social interaction in the teacher group. Start using a bell for transitions. 

Green- The way we group our students. The type of centers we have created for our students. The timing of stations. Continue creating differentiation centers for all of our students to feel successful - visual, hands on, writing, verbal.

Yellow: Today we considered how to implement mini-lessons between each rotation. The mini-lessons would provide more direct instruction and then allow the students to utilize what he/she just learned.

Red: What we need to stop-- rushing through each rotation. The quality of work is not the best it can be- because of the limited time.]]> 2018-03-26 14:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/246092169 A. Sutton asutton18 https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/246095126 3 Things You Learned-
1. Padlet is an interactive way to get kids to respond to things we may be doing on paper - just in a different format.
2. There are multiple formats to use for different activities. I like the 'shelf' format that is more organized. Will help the kids find information more easily and add their own responses.
3. Links can be added to other websites and videos. Easy way to give kids directions that they can access on their own.

2 Things to Share with a Peer
1. You can use Padlet to create a scavenger hunt for students to search for things and add pictures for a class collection - ex: shapes scavenger hunt
2. You could create a virtual KWL and have students respond rather than using sticky notes (that always fall down for me!)

1 Way to Use Padlet:
1. I would love to try and use Padlet possibly as a KWL when we study Sharks in a few weeks. I also like the idea of a math scavenger hunt and having students find the shapes around campus and add to a Padlet wall.]]> 2018-03-26 14:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/246095126 Kelsie Roper kroper https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/246095694 3. Three Things I Learned:
- I have been using Padlet for morning work, however, it can also be used to incorporate scavenger hunts within the classroom.
- Padlet can be a great resource to use as an Exit Ticket following lessons.
- Padlet is a great tool to have students to track their thinking/learning. It can also be used to generate classroom discussions based upon the students' notes about their thinking/learning.
2. Two Things to Share:
- I would love to share how I started to use Padlet in my own classroom in order to get students comfortable with the layout and so they could learn how to use the website.
- I would also like to share that Padlet can be used as a resource to replace pencil and paper assignments.
1. How I Plan to Utilize Padlet:
-I plan to use Padlet in my upcoming Geometry Unit. I also want to incorporate it into my Readers Workshop. ]]> 2018-03-26 14:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/246095694 J.

Sutton asutton18 https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/246102455 I used to think that differentiated instruction was basically either "altering" the activity based on student ability to meet their needs or best done through small group instruction. Basically - I guess I thought it was all about individual instruction - which is not what it is. I never thought of freedom of choice as being a way to provide differentiation.
Now I see/think that there are different means to providing differentiated instruction - it could be whole group, but also small group and then individual activities that meet student needs. Assessing along the way will allow me to see who is mastering the concept and what I need to do to adapt learning for those who are struggling. Multiple activities will allow students to demonstrate mastery in a variety of ways - as long as clear objectives and expectations are set, students can show mastery in the way that they choose.]]> 2018-03-26 14:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/246102455 S. Pearce spearce15 https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/246112240 I used to think that differentiated instruction was about modifying the length of the assignment, or the "difficulty level" of the assignment to meet the needs of the individual student. I used to also think that differentiated instruction was only done during small group instruction time. 
But now, I think differentiated instruction is more about providing a choice for the students in their learning. I now know that differentiated instruction can also be done in a whole class setting and in heterogeneous groups. ]]> 2018-03-26 14:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/246112240 J. Edwards Edwards2ndgrade https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/246112247 I use to think differentiated instruction was more about small group instruction and different ability leveled activities without a lot of free choice. I learned through this article that it also incorporates whole group and heterogeneous grouping. It also includes free choice made by the students which I found myself brainstorming how I use this in my classroom. ]]> 2018-03-26 14:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/246112247 Kelsie Roper kroper https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/246113006 I used to think that differentiating was just increasing or decreasing the workload, providing small/individual instruction, and working with students based upon their ability level. After reading the article and talking with my teammates, I was surprised to learn that differentiating is also incorporating whole and small group instruction as well as providing a choice within their learning. Awesome article! ]]> 2018-03-26 14:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/herveylisa/gvg2v8xrpj9/wish/246113006
