Remake of Tech Like a Pirate Book Study by https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q "Don't just teach a lesson. Create an EXPERIENCE." -Dave Burgess en-us 2022-03-07 12:59:31 UTC 2022-04-07 21:55:43 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/1381115284/64efc8252897cf28e7e72684daca291c/techlap_overview_infographic_1.png Virtual Sightseeing in Spanish-Speaking Countries christine_deily https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2081895534 I understand what Matt's saying in wanting my students to be able to explore the Spanish-speaking countries we study in class. I've been wanted to do a virtual tour of Barcelona (and hopefully the Sagrada Familia!) and I think I'm going to try it with this week's assignment using NearPod]]> 2022-03-07 15:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2081895534 Sharing with other classes christine_deily https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2081902458 It would be cool for teachers in this book study to share some of their finished projects in this chapter because I don't think many teachers incorporate these tools regularly in their classrooms. (at least I don't) I'd love to see what other content teachers do for this chapter!]]> 2022-03-07 15:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2081902458 christine_deily https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2081905899 Honestly, this is not my forté in my lower level classes. I feel like I have to do a lot of the teaching but I definitely should be encouraging more of the exploration learning process. I'm going to think of how to do this using my upcoming "travel" unit in Spanish 2. ]]> 2022-03-07 15:28:50 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2081905899 One good thing about covid is that it has "pushed" me to use virtual access to resources and connect with opportunities to broaden the viewpoint of my students. I've located virtual tours of businesses that allow students to experience the daily workings in a company. I am also hoping to connect with alumni students from my previous worksite ... students who have completed Accounting/business classes in high school and have gone on to college and variety of careers. It's so much better for students to hear from someone young who has actually "been there". Personal job shadowings are limited now so virtual connections through zoom for example are the next best thing. https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2086138187 2022-03-09 14:10:19 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2086138187 connecting with the outside world williamgoodlett https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2086376073 I would like to use the google trek website to have my students learn about where trash travels and how we can help the environment. I've located a video on how a teacher in a developing country had his students go through trash and he helped them design school instruments that they could not afford. It is a method called up-cycling. ]]> 2022-03-09 15:56:37 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2086376073 widespread ideas williamgoodlett https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2086382595 I would like to share with other teachers. It may not be from other countries but it could be within the state. I come from a county that has a big push for technology even outside of the school system. I would like to have my students see other jobs, and or possibilities that there maybe for them in the S.T.E.M (S.T.E.A.M in other Counties) fields. ]]> 2022-03-09 15:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2086382595 Things that I do williamgoodlett https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2086387071 I have the students for an activity come up to my table and spin a glob around. They have to place their finger on a random Country. They have to find out the average income, population size, the demographics, What the country is known for , and what is their major pollution problem. Then they have to create or design a device that would help solve the countries problem. ]]> 2022-03-09 16:02:15 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2086387071 nicholas_jupena https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2086422389 I ]]> 2022-03-09 16:18:55 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2086422389 nicholas_jupena https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2086427048 I would like to partner with STAE 11th grade classes & Mrs. Noble to incorporate appropriate math with her Personal Finance course.

We watch a video of a car driving through the tunnel and pictures of the inclines which transports people up and down the mountain and the math involved in regards to distance and rate.]]> 2022-03-09 16:26:10 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2086438640 jennifercoston https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2086973723 I'm thinking about bringing a guest speaker back to talk about GenX contamination in our water.

One option was to create a movie poster based on one of the revolutions we studied, so students could choose the revolution and give a detailed description.]]> 2022-03-10 00:38:23 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2087155430 Culture of Exploration christopherpomeroy https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2087176932 When we study the World Wars, students could have a choice on a topic to study in more depth. Once they pick a topic I can imagine building in the skills to become a Geographical Explorer by using Google Earth or Tour Builder to research trenches, battles, or other important locations. We could then partner with NJROTC to learn from their knowledge on the subject and create something meaningful.]]> 2022-03-10 00:50:28 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2087176932 Guest Speaker christopherpomeroy https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2087209744 I would really like to be able to have a guest speaker for my Civics class. I imagine it would be easier to do a video call, but it would be great for my students to talk to our representative in the House or any local government official. They could ask him/her questions about bills he/she is working on and get firsthand knowledge about the legislative process.]]> 2022-03-10 01:08:36 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2087209744 Exploration juliacross2 https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2090726095 I encourage my dancers to explore their own "niche". They are introduced to a style of dance in my room and then are able to pick their favorite and explore it deeper. Not only are they able to research facts they want about this genre, it is so fun to see their own personality cone through. I learn a lot about my students!!!]]> 2022-03-11 16:19:11 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2090726095 Connecting students with the outside world juliacross2 https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2090736255 I think it would be amazing to give my dancers a deeper look in the career paths dance could take them. I would love for them to go to UNCW and visit a dance team practice, observe a dance major course at a college, shadow a dance company that visits through the Wilson Center. Connecting them to real life jobs in the outside world would be amazing for them. ]]> 2022-03-11 16:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2090736255 christine_deily https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2094156309 I actually had my studnts use Canva last week to create digital storytelling for a "daily routine" presentation and they loved it so much more than Google Slides! ]]> 2022-03-14 15:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2094156309 christine_deily https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2094159495 I'm excited to try more virtual field trips! It's definitely one area I haven't had much experience with in the past and regular old googled pictures don't really do some of the places and cultures we study justice! The virtual field trip of Easter Island was cool!]]> 2022-03-14 15:52:43 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2094159495 I give my students "real world" case studies. Examples of these are a patient has heart failure and/or a chronic respiratory condition. Data is provided on these patients, such as their vital signs, labwork. Students love to dig in using their current medical terminology knowledge base while researching on credible websites like mayo clinic, webmd, cdc, etc. lynnsmith8 https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2094411311 2022-03-14 18:01:55 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2094411311 Definitely having guest speakers. We recently had the Air Force recruiter and talk with students about opportunities available in the Air Force specifically related to Health Care. Students were very interested in this. lynnsmith8 https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2094422555 2022-03-14 18:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2094422555 implementation of a project https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2096659090 I was at first adding all of them to my lesson but the one's that worked out the best would be the Vocabulary game and the Amazon website creation. The Amazon activity went along with the Research and Development lesson that I had going on. So no of it was like filler to them. It all related to the lessons. ]]> 2022-03-15 19:27:25 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2096659090 Tech roadblocks https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2096675920 William Goodlett: One of the things I try to think about is how did I get the students to collaborate and how will they recall the lesson a month from now. I have my students create a portfolio during class. Its a collection of their lessons/activities, they have to give a explanation of the activity.

I noticed a lot of students being more engaged and had some positive feedback. Another activity I implemented in my Civics class was using the Twitter template. Students had to create a tweet for a Senator, president, and Supreme Court justice that would show how checks and balances work.

When I use these ideas the disruptions start to become less and less because the students are taking ownership of their learning and I can act as more of a guide as I move around the room helping them with the assignment. It also allows for more one-on-one instruction.]]> 2022-03-19 00:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2102625097 dalequick https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2105372897 Encourage students to research jobs and careers that are centered around sports/athletics.   Obviously all students can not be professional athletes.

One of my goals is to incorporate several curriculum projects. One that each student has going all semester is a focus on a corporation of their choice. They are developing a slide deck portfolio of the company, operations, current events, stock valuations, etc. A good topic for me to add in to the project would be a global look at their operations/marketing/employees and how they might differ from operations in the states. denise_mcclellan https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2120082922 2022-03-29 19:34:47 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2120082922 It's very helpful for my accounting students to get a glimpse into the "real world" of life as an Accountant. Before moving to NC I had a strong community connection that provided opportunities for my Acctg students. I also partnered with an Acctg firm to have my upper level students experience " a day in the life" of ... excellent insight and mentoring for the students. This is certainly something I could work on to connect to the Wilmington businesses. denise_mcclellan https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2120087725 2022-03-29 19:38:12 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2120087725 In POBF course as I implement a variety of projects I try to make them more "open ended" which requires to the students to work collectively. They also have to develop their own plan... exploring new ways to accomplish a task. Just before break they had to plan an assembly line process from prototype of a bookmarker to preparing a purchase requisition form of ALL supplies they needed (within a set budget), flowchart for the assembly line and then the production. They did amazing! denise_mcclellan https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2120094938 2022-03-29 19:43:22 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2120094938 I haven't gotten to the unit yet, but I plan to implement Canva for the Marketing unit project. I always try to have students in POBF do at least one bigger project. Canva should work great ... something I have not used before either. denise_mcclellan https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2120119319 2022-03-29 20:00:37 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2120119319 I keep going to my POBF students (mainly 9th graders and motivation comes and goes).. they have really enjoyed and been actively involved in our team projects. I've been impressed --- some involve technology (chosen corporate project) to the hands on assembly line. I have enjoyed the student interaction in these projects. A tech roadblock I have to "slay" is the thought that technology projects tend to be more individual with one student at a computer and the others not actively engaged. I have to develop tech tools and ideas that have a higher level of team involvement. denise_mcclellan https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2120124436 2022-03-29 20:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2120124436 Engagement/Technology-Lynn Smith https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2123976262 My roadblock would be being afraid to try some of the newer apps and technology. I'm comfortable with google slides and implement them frequently with student sharing/collab. I've recently been digging into Canva. and Wow! this is the coolest thing. I can't wait to use with my HS1 class. They are super quiet, even at this point in the semester when they are usually ultra familiar and talkative. I have found that Peardeck helps w/engagement but there are many SEL templates in Canva and I will implement them daily when we return. I will submit my recent presentation in the GCR area.]]> 2022-03-31 16:41:15 UTC https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2123976262 benjaminspencer5 https://padlet.com/drewpate1/m2wkerzekk0whh9q/wish/2135268856 The idea of using C-span is something I use in class.

Imagine kids coming back and presenting to the students about New Hanover County Meetings and the ideas and info that they learned from it.

It starts with them finding something they do not like and trying to figure out how to fix it. Then they put in writing how they might fix it and present to the class how.
