I hated it, so I hit the random continent generator until I found something I kind of liked and was easily edited to fit my vision. Exciting thing: I finally figured out how to make rivers without completely messing up the map! ]]> 2022-05-20 16:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2193256972 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2203790326 For those who don't know, as rivers flow down stream, they merge with other rivers.

She is the (adopted) child of Lacey, who was the first of these that I did, and the biological sister of Liana, who was the one I did right after this one. She's a more romantic personality, so I used roses and lipstick stained love letters in hers. One of her major plot points revolves around bonding with a legendary horse no one else could tame, so I had to include a horse somewhere on here. ]]> 2022-06-14 02:07:32 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220190087 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220209899 2022-06-14 02:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220209899 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220211365 2022-06-14 02:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220211365 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220212092 2022-06-14 02:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220212092 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220213285 Developed for Utah, so would need to be adapted to meet a different state's standards. ]]> 2022-06-14 02:28:02 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220213285 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220214541 2022-06-14 02:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220214541 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220215048 2022-06-14 02:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220215048 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220215447 2022-06-14 02:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220215447 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220215893 2022-06-14 02:30:37 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2220215893 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2221015394 For my reflection on the Drama visual, I created a mind map. There are six colors: yellow headers, orange headers (the different arts groups), blue subcategories, pink parts of the subcategories, purple parts that make up the pink parts, and green connectors. I was able to make connections between not only the different subcategories and parts of the subcategories, but also out to different arts group.]]> 2022-06-14 16:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2221015394 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2221029273 How can music be used outside a music room? This visual, like the ones I make for my characters, is meant to help give an idea of music benefits and uses at a quick glance. In its most basic form, music can be used to set a mood, provide a backdrop while students are working (just like I'm currently using Rocky Mountain Vet while I work on these reflections), or fill passing time when moving from one activity to the next. Music can also be used to help students learn and remember content in any subject. Students can use instruments, but can also use their bodies (hands and feet to make a beat). ]]> 2022-06-14 17:13:46 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2221029273 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2221052425 One of the things the Visual Arts groups' infographic brought up was that some teachers think of artwork as a distraction. in the classroom. So, the goal here was to create a layout that placed artwork in a position where it was easily visible, but also easily ignorable when needed.  Some of this is dependent on where the built in (and therefore immovable) storage is, so you might end up with the students' artwork all over the cabinets, but that's better than having it behind the students in my opinion, because they'll never see it there. I also put the teacher's desk near the back because it feels less rigidly structured, but still allows the teacher to monitor the students' behavior. I don't know if that would work out was well in practice, but it might be something to try.]]> 2022-06-14 17:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2221052425 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2224250673 2022-06-17 19:40:39 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2224250673 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2224251463 2022-06-17 19:42:25 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2224251463 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2224251690 2022-06-17 19:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2224251690 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2226069544 12 Benefits of Creativity]]> 2022-06-20 20:42:13 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2226069544 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2226070941 2022-06-20 20:44:35 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2226070941 martindi3 https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2226071124 I put my weekly reflections here because I wasn't sure what else to put here.

Or music. Or dance. Or drama. Just like PE, these subjects have been seen over the last couple of decades as "specials" and "taking time away from the curriculum." But, just like PE and recess, they're important for helping kids develop into functional human beings who can process negative emotions, find solutions to difficult or complex situations, recognize when a relationship is healthy or unhealthy - including the one they have with themselves - and establish themselves as individuals instead of hive-minded drones. What this class has helped me to do is explore ways to include the arts as part of instruction and assessment. I am reminded of one of Taylor Mali's monologues were he says his students asked him "are we going to be responsible for this?" and his response was "if not you, then who?" We, as educators, must find ways to include the arts in our curriculum, because administrators, politicians, and parents have spent the last several decades cutting them out, and they aren't going to give it back, even when faced with the facts of the overall benefits and current consequences. 

All that to say, thank you for this class, and for this padlet idea in particular, because now I have a stored spot of examples to look back on for my future classroom. ]]> 2022-06-21 22:44:15 UTC https://padlet.com/martindi3/mgjct3w82cdhak6y/wish/2227189586
