I would use this at the end of my 2 units coming up. ]]> 2022-02-24 16:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2064934950 https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065007613 O'Shields - Algebraic Reasoning
Loved Mrs. Collins' Soh Cah Toa lesson (I used to have fun teaching that back in my Geometry days!) All of her students were fully engaged in the lesson, participating in the class discussion, and taking notes while watching Mrs. Collins work problems using the document camera. I have kicked around the idea of using the document camera myself, and am now even more convinced that I should try it. I think it would work very well with graphing systems of linear inequalities, and would help to model good graphing techniques for creating nice, neat graphs.]]> 2022-02-24 17:34:04 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065007613 https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065135465 Dalton Myers - Academic English II
I liked the use of the document cam in the math class. The teacher was able to model while teaching. It seemed to students that she was just walking them through things, but by the end of the lesson, they had a full booklet of notes and examples, and they knew how to use the formulas. I could use it in my classroom by breaking down parts of an essay the same way, and writing an essay within one class period with them so that it seems more accessible and less time consuming to do.]]> 2022-02-24 18:46:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065135465 https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065167376 I really enjoyed Mrs. McKelvey-White’s lesson today. Loved the use of relatable technology. And the background music was so calming. Overall fantastic learning environment to be in!]]> 2022-02-24 19:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065167376 https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065231142 Paul Cochran 
KOLA
It was great to see the collaborative work being done across the curriculum. Great student engagement in every classroom and good ideas that other educators can utilize from technology and classroom anonymous feedback to modeling of word webs. ]]> 2022-02-24 19:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065231142 https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065236800 Lauren Rodgers Family & Consumer Science- I enjoyed observing Mr. Campbells US History students. They were creating bubble maps for various events in history, but what I really enjoyed observing was his classroom management strategies. He uses a group point system to offer various incentives for each 6 weeks. His learners were engaged and on task. It’s certainly a system that I could take and tweak to fit my own classes. Sometimes it is hard to find ways to motivate reluctant learners, but he has developed an effective system for his students. ]]> 2022-02-24 19:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065236800 https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065284742 I enjoyed the collaboration I saw in all 3 classes today!
Ms. Simpson’s class room had a “feel good “ atmosphere !
I liked the use of the document  camera -successful strategy .
In all 3 classes students were actively  engaged and I saw a lot of questions and  answers  and checking  for understanding !
I also like the way the exit ticket was included bin packet/ activity ]]> 2022-02-24 20:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065284742 https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065337353 I really liked the SharkTank Activity in the W. History KAP class. It was nice to see group projects being done and explained. I would like to incorporate this kind of activity in my classes.]]> 2022-02-24 21:13:45 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065337353 https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065347077 I saw lots of student engagement with the classes' activities, and how the class environment minimized the stress on the students, while not minimizing the importance of the work. Today's shark tank is one example where students had to of done their research and present their work. However, instead of a one time all or nothing presentation in front of class and teacher with all eyes on you the students were presenting their work at the same time with their peers so each present delt with a smaller audience which help to counter stage fright, also every presenter now has to present several times allowing them to become more comfortable with their presentations and if a mistake/problem occurs in one presentation they will have others to work it out. For the classes that where more direct teaching I saw the students actively engages as the teacher consistently checked for understanding and altered pace to meet the needs of the class, there was also small group discussions incorporated into the direct teaching.]]> 2022-02-24 21:23:12 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065347077 d1960006 https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065354523 I really enjoyed the classrooms I saw today. The Shark Tank seemed like a great spin on a jigsaw activity where every student had to become an expert in their topic and then share it with their classmates. The Chemistry and Math classes had such positive environment vibes. It was great to see spaces where students were not afraid of trying, even if they got confused or stuck. ]]> 2022-02-24 21:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2065354523 https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2066364341 I loved seeing Mr. Campbell's students Shark Tank style presentations on their researched inventions from the industrial revolution. The structure of the research/ presentation/ evaluation of the assignment was effective and engaging. I would love to encourage and help the teachers I collaborate with on research units to plan a lesson in this style. ]]> 2022-02-25 13:39:40 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2066364341 https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2066482772 The learning walks today was phenomenal-Mrs. Vu classroom atmosphere was so positive.  The students were engaged in their learning and asked questions as she explained how to solve for the variable.   I loved how she gave them the right amount of wait time to do an equation on their own.  She then asked them to look at their neighbors answer before she told them the correct answer.  
Mrs. Carlson classroom was great.  The students were working on solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula.  I loved how she assisted and explained and did not rush to move on the next student that was needing help.  I also loved the positive quotes she had on each desk.-Great Idea.
Mr. Campbells-shark tank idea was awesome.  This was totally student centered-the students were the inventors and they had to give a sales pitch to convince us to invest.  It was great to have the same investors next to each other as well so you can compare the sales pitch.  The students did an excellent job.
Thanks for the Learning walks-there will be some things that I would like to implement in my class.]]> 2022-02-25 14:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2066482772 https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2066700489 First, want to send gratitude to those who allows us to come in even voluntold. I saw three different great classroom vibes which was great to see. It was great to see Ms Dickeys classroom where I saw students in their reading comfort zones while she read aloud Animal Farm. Music in Coach Strawns class while student work independently and clear expectations and collaborative learning with structured time limits in Coach Cheesman’s class. Coach Cheesman  had a clear power point- easy to follow for all students to stay on track from warmup, to reading synthesis, to collaborative peer check. All three were positive with students’ engaged following different teachers’ style. ]]> 2022-02-25 17:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2066700489 f2160993 https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2067012041 I loved going into each of these classrooms today. In each classroom, I could tell the students respected their teacher and each other. These teachers set up a great classroom environment for the kids to feel safe in! I enjoyed learning how to use aha slides and I look forward to using these in my classroom! ]]> 2022-02-25 21:12:09 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2067012041 https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2069502099 Strawn- Loved the vibe. Music was playing in the background while the students worked in pairs to complete a review.
Cheesman- Clear, easy to follow power point. Students collaborated on the assignment and they checked each other's work
Dickey- Loved seeing all the kids into the book she was reading. Everyone was relaxed and I was so impressed that she got all the students to sing or hum along with the song in the book.]]> 2022-02-28 13:57:18 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyeelliott/iplykvma7351he92/wish/2069502099
