This is especially important during distance learning.]]> 2021-03-27 21:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360402303 drbscience https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360408402 Relating content with impacts of behaviors on others, such as this pelican drenched in oil, prompts students students to engage with the material beyond the classroom.  Knowing potential impacts will help them be more self-aware with their own use of energy resources, as well as encourage them to play a more active role in being part of the solution.]]> 2021-03-27 21:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360408402 drbscience https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360423700 Using my Pear Deck slides, I can see the answers of every student. This allows every student to demonstrate their understanding, without being dominated by a few stronger voices. I can then provide feedback either in writing (directly on the Pear Deck) or verbally, as I share some of their answers with the class.]]> 2021-03-27 21:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360423700 drbscience https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360432249 Vocabulary can sometimes be challenging, even for advanced learners. I provide all learners a method to spend as much times as they need reviewing the vocabulary in an interactive way to gain understanding of the words. These methods also include text reader capability. ]]> 2021-03-27 21:38:24 UTC https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360432249 drbscience https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360435164 All lesson slides are integrated with Immersive Reader, which enables students to use text-reader, change fonts and spacing, and translate content into desired language. ]]> 2021-03-27 21:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360435164 drbscience https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360436433 All lessons begin with a quick self-assessment of how the student is feeling.]]> 2021-03-27 21:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360436433 drbscience https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360526727 Interactive games, such as Quizlet Live, Gimkit, and Kahoot provide a fun way for students to demonstrate their knowledge. Post-game reports show me which students are struggling as well as which terms or concepts need to be re-taught or re-explained.]]> 2021-03-27 23:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360526727 drbscience https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360529037 Choice boards give students agency by enabling them to choose the method by which they demonstrate knowledge and understanding. This method empowers students to capitalize on their strengths and pursue their interests. ]]> 2021-03-27 23:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360529037 drbscience https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360534629 To ensure students are mastering the specific standards I am teaching, the objectives are clearly defined at the beginning of the lesson and revisited throughout the lesson to ensure students are gaining the understanding and developing to skills to master those standards.]]> 2021-03-27 23:51:35 UTC https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360534629 drbscience https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360536777 Projects are assigned early on in the unit so students can use the project as a platform to build their understanding of the content. PBL relates content to real world problems and solutions. In addition to prompting critical thinking, PBL provides a basis for collaboration. For this lesson, students are working in groups to design and build a hydroelectric turbine.]]> 2021-03-27 23:54:28 UTC https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360536777 drbscience https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360543065 Providing students an opportunity to reflect on what they liked and didn't like about a day's lesson alerts me to potential changes to my lessons. If multiple students indicate they found something hard, perhaps I didn't provide adequate scaffolding so I can revise the lesson accordingly.]]> 2021-03-28 00:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360543065 drbscience https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360545048 A criterion-based summative assessment can provide valuable information about the effectiveness of the lesson. My online textbook gathers data that I can use to assess my lesson. ]]> 2021-03-28 00:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360545048 drbscience https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360554908 Many of my students are either ELL or they struggle with reading comprehension. The textbook-provided assessments are very verbose, causing many students to underperform even when they understand the content. For this reason, I have scaffolded my assessment to include shorter, more concise questions to assess their understanding of content. This is an example of one of those types of tests (not related to this particular lesson - we are not yet to the summative stage). ]]> 2021-03-28 00:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/drbscience/oga10yafc9meptm1/wish/1360554908
