They will explore the different filters and think about what their own values are when it comes to postsecondary institutions. They will also explore the scattergram feature in Naviance https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/438565705 -Christie Piascik ]]> 2020-01-31 01:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/438565705 Student created content: students will "favorite" schools that show up on their Supermatch college search with at least a 75% match rating. So they will begin to create a list with an academic range of schools (core, safety, reach). They will indicate their interest level of each school and have a clear picture of deadlines, requirements and what a college requires in the application. They can then create a task list to help them accomplish and tackle these apps one at a time. https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/438566072 -Christie Piascik]]> 2020-01-31 01:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/438566072 Peer-Centric Learning: dashreiner https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/438723074 Students will select a current event topic and find articles from the left, center, and right that report on the event. Students will compare their articles with one another.

-Dale Shreiner]]> 2020-01-31 13:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/438723680 Student-created content: Students will be given a document with basic requirements - find a problem-solving model, lay it out for the process of finding an apartment, locate rent sites and narrow in a decision while applying each step of their model, provide the results and link of the selection. Students will build a Glogster page that explains their model. Peer-centric learning: Students search for another student that is done and each one will share and describe the problem-solving model they found and the apartment. Students are to evaluate one another. -Brian Lucca https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/438793279 2020-01-31 15:20:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/438793279 Student Created Content: https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/438888412  Students will then be responsible for developing their own “rhythms of the day” based off of their shared observations regarding difficulties with rhythm execution.  Using the available music department computer stations (this will require a cycle since our available stations are low), student will write their rhythms out on the music program “Finale” or on the online notation system “Noteflight”.  Students will write the subdivisions down separately as a resource for other students after their initial attempt to play the rhythm.  I also thought it would be neat to have Jazz Ensemble 3 attempt Jazz Ensemble 2’s written rhythms and vice versa.

After allowing these conversations to take place, students will reconvene to share with the class what they discussed in their small groups, including problems, solutions, and tricks for correct rhythm playing.  I will assume the “guide” role for this conversation as to keep the lesson peer-centric.

]]> 2020-01-31 17:36:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/438889262 Informal Learning: Students will discuss mental illness and what they think the signs and symptoms are. This will be completed either in small groups or the response and discussion can occur on their Google Classroom Page. This discussion will be beneficial because it begins the open conversation about mental health. Student Created Work: Students will complete a blog post after watching Reward Pathway in the Brain. This video talks about the brain and how it works. After watching this, students will select one portion of the brain and research how that portion of the brain is affected by mental health and illness. Students will then complete a blog on WordPress to discuss what is happening in that area of the brain when mental illness is occurring and how it makes individuals feel. - Sara Reynolds sara_reynolds3 https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/438907157 2020-01-31 18:01:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/438907157 Informal Learning, Peer-centric Learning, and Student Created Work: Informal learning would happen during the discussions, compromises, and problem solving that would occur as students work to complete the research and presentation. The peer-centric learning would occur as the students learn from each other during the collaboration to question, research, and work as a group. They would be likely to connect to the content in a new way as they research and create the information to share with other classmates https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/439052901 -Jill Williams]]> 2020-01-31 23:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/439052901 https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/439069313 Informal learning: The students will start by going through a planned activity of 6 questions about two different sets of equations (12 questions total). There is vocabulary in the questions that we will not have learned or they might not remember. To find answers, they will need to search on Google, which will direct them to links for Khan Academy, Expii, Purple Math, Math Planet, Mathforum.org, or other sites/videos that explain math vocabulary. 

Student created content: The students will then work with their partners to come up with three new sets of equations. Two of the sets will need to be equivalent and one will not be equivalent. I will have a Google Slides presentation set up where students will add a new slide for each of their pairs. I will scramble the slides that evening, and the pairs will go through the next day to decide if they are equivalent or not equivalent. - Rebecca Swartz

]]> 2020-02-01 21:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/439189806 Informal Learning:Students will learn through collaboration and exploration. After getting an overview of the lesson students will be given dominos. Students will work collaboratively to explore the force and motion it takes to move dominos. They will be given time to explore and discuss in their small groups to learn firsthand that dominos must be close to each other or else when one falls the rest will not. They will discuss how fast they fall and how they will make them fall.Peer-Centric Learning:Students learn through collaboration and discussion. They work as groups to create and discuss. We learn whole group and have many discussions that allow students to learn from each other. While working in groups students can work at their own pace investigate based on their groups interests. https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/439221208 Samantha Formato]]> 2020-02-02 02:16:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/439221208 Informal Learning https://padlet.com/jamesjonesded/kstz100z424k/wish/439231763
Informal Learning: I would pair students in 4 groups (a group for a 2 year school, a group for a 4 year university, a group for a 4 year college/private institution, and a group for a trade school). Each group would research the type of institution they were given and find out facts about the school, the length of time they would attend, the cost of attending, the degree/certificate earned, and if they could obtain the career they are interested in pursuing at that institution.

Peer Centric Learning: As students work in groups to discuss their type of institution, they will decide what is important to share with the class. They will decide what other students need to be aware of for the institution they are sharing about. Each group member will be given a task within the group to research the institution’s website. They will bring that information back to the group to share. This will ensure all group members participate in the discussion.

Student Created Content: Students will have access to their I Have a Plan Iowa account. By having access, students will be able to access their survey results, their matched career clusters, and their matched careers to college. They will have saved this information in their account for quick review. This is information they can share with their parents at home as well.
