Scan the boards for a quick assessment and group according to responses.]]> 2018-10-06 01:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_burghardt/ojmfp7uw3zbp/wish/289849664 Fist to Five is highly effective in my classroom. It is a very private method and also a self reflection that I use multiple times throughout the day with my scholars. I can't wait to try out these other ideas too! https://padlet.com/leslie_burghardt/ojmfp7uw3zbp/wish/291469842 2018-10-10 20:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_burghardt/ojmfp7uw3zbp/wish/291469842 Nearpod https://padlet.com/leslie_burghardt/ojmfp7uw3zbp/wish/291816144 Given all students have access to a Chromebook, being able to give students the ability to interact through it, is ideal. Nearpod provides the ability for teachers to create polls, interactive quizzes, open ended questions, and create slideshows. It's free to sign up and easy since you can use your gmail.

Here is a link to look into this method: https://nearpod.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/sections/201033225-General-Getting-Started]]> 2018-10-11 16:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_burghardt/ojmfp7uw3zbp/wish/291816144 Turn and Talk https://padlet.com/leslie_burghardt/ojmfp7uw3zbp/wish/292342728 I will have the students listen to my lesson where I explain a concept. I will then ask the students to think about a question for a minute then turn and talk with a partner. They are sharing their ideas and explaining their understanding to a peer. I am able to walk around and monitor the conversations. I will then pick a few students to share their thinking with the class.]]> 2018-10-12 19:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_burghardt/ojmfp7uw3zbp/wish/292342728
