As they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words". This site gives a list of multiple historical photography based entirely on United State History, along with an explanation of the photo. Would be great when researching images for powerpoint or student projects.]]> 2019-12-21 05:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426403468 ger_elynn98 https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426403611 Teaches kids valuable social skills, along with skills needed for future careers and social relationships. Keeps everyone "in-check", especially when students are assigned "jobs" for the project or assignment such as someone taking notes and someone in charge of reading or researching. ]]> 2019-12-21 05:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426403611 ger_elynn98 https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426403718 While I am terrible with technology, it is a great resource to use in the classroom. Powerpoint, videos, projected images, movies, interactive games, etc. Keeps the students interest and cuts down on the need for them to want their phones. ]]> 2019-12-21 05:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426403718 ger_elynn98 https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426403845 Turning the lesson around and opening it up to have students ask the questions is a great way for students to thinking more deeply on the unit/subject being discussed. Having the students work in groups and have to move around keeps their brain active. (My cooperating teacher sometimes even had the students do jumping jacks).]]> 2019-12-21 05:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426403845 ger_elynn98 https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426404018 Provided multiple options for completing assignments such as drawing a picture instead of writing a paragraph or provided more than one option for completing projects.]]> 2019-12-21 05:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426404018 ger_elynn98 https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426404639 Visualization is an easy teaching strategy for social studies teachers to incorporate into their classrooms. With so many movies, pictures, and all-around artifacts, maps, and actual people... there is a never ending list of possibilities. Museums and old journals are also great visual aides.]]> 2019-12-21 05:53:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426404639 ger_elynn98 https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426405437 This is probably my favorite teaching strategy. We are usually so focused on correcting negative behavior we don't stop to think and congratulate good behavior. This is a tool I use frequently in my child care job. Simply saying, "You guys are doing a great jobs staying on task.", or "That assignment looks very neat", or "Thank you all for remembering to write your names on your papers." This is a great way to remind student of what they should be doing and makes them feel good and affirms their need to do these tasks.]]> 2019-12-21 06:08:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426405437 ger_elynn98 https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426405644 Something I can be good at, but typically do not do very well. I hope to have an organized classroom, because this helps make students feel secure and not overwhelmed. There will be specific places for everything, such as: late work boxes, extra writing utensils, extra paper/notebooks, extra textbooks, snacks, "quiet area", etc... that way students are not always asking me where things are and therefore saving time. This will also help me stay organized in my lesson plans and cut down on class time transitions within lesson plans.]]> 2019-12-21 06:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426405644 ger_elynn98 https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426405885 One of my goals as a teacher is to also eventually coach middle school girls basketball coach. I coached them in high school and fell in love with helping them learn the basics of basketball and trying to provide them with a good role model. I hope to try and attend any school events my students invite me to. This creates a sense of pride and trust in the students, along with respect.]]> 2019-12-21 06:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426405885 ger_elynn98 https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426406590 If I have learning ANYTHING at all, it would have to be to just be positive. Life throws curveballs, not just for you as a teacher, but also for your students. Everybody will have negative days, and you as a teacher are the role model, so be positive! My life motto is, "Why be the rain when you can be the sunshine?" So basically what I mean is, be the reason that student smiles, or brightens their day a little bit. Make them WANT to learn. BE POSITIVE. Stalk up on corny puns and jokes. Let students have a "CREATE DAY" and let them do their hobbies (play music, draw, color, photography, abstract art, technology design, sewing, etc...)]]> 2019-12-21 06:29:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426406590 ger_elynn98 https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426406995 Students DO NOT respond well when a teacher is quick to anger. In fact it will become a game to them if they are able to get under your skin. So, in a sense, "play dumb", act like whatever they say (if it is meant to directly be hurtful toward you), almost doesn't make sense. "This assignment is so dumb, you make the most stupid assignments Miss H." -My response would be something along the lines of, "Well then it should be easy for you to complete." or something else, for example, "This one might be done, but that means that the next one might be better." Put a smile on a move on with your life.]]> 2019-12-21 06:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ger_elynn98/gerelynn98/wish/426406995
