In these classrooms students engage in a process of logical reasoning about evidence. They work cooperatively to explore ideas. They use mathematical or mechanical models, develop representations of phenomena, and work with various technoglocial and intellectual tools. Students participate in active and rigorous discussion. They examine review and evaluate their own knowledge” ]]> 2017-03-20 20:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/koletare/jaca1difitow/wish/161327979 What I've Learned: Climate Discovery koletare https://padlet.com/koletare/jaca1difitow/wish/164753625 NSTA resource that coincides with my unit plan. ]]> 2017-04-04 23:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/koletare/jaca1difitow/wish/164753625 Tool: Debrief Cube koletare https://padlet.com/koletare/jaca1difitow/wish/164753745 This is a great tool to debrief a lesson/unit.
