https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq After watching the video about Google Classroom. Post by clicking on the wall...remember to change your name. In your post name a way you would like to use Google Classroom next year. Also why do you think a platform like Classroom is valuable in a Blended Learning classroom. en-us 2017-07-31 15:29:19 UTC 2017-08-08 20:15:23 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/179883120 I look forward to using Google classroom this year. I hope to enhance my classroom by being able to use small group rotations where I can work with students in a smaller setting and differentiate to student needs. Also, students seem very attracted to using technology in order to turn in assignments. I hope to have my ELL's collaborate together and build community with each other as they learn language. I think Google Classroom could be instrumental in creating a sense of community that helps lower apprehension to taking risks and learning.]]> 2017-08-01 19:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/179883120 https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/179901122 I am still unsure how this will be implemented in my third grade classroom.  I imagine I will first use it as an organizational tool for myself to better maximize my time with students.  In a blended learning environment students using Classroom would be able to keep all of their on line learning in one place and self monitor their progress.]]> 2017-08-02 00:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/179901122 https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/179980248 I am not sure yet if I will be able to use this in my Kindergarten Classroom.  I will talk with my team members and see if there is a way I could set up a few simple stations for my Kindergarten students.  I might be able to create a few online centers using this program.   I will have to practice more using Google Classroom.]]> 2017-08-02 21:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/179980248 https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/179981108 I plan on using Google Classroom as a way for student to continue to practice skills learnt using online games, and as a component in interactive lessons.

Google Classroom is valuable in a Blended Learning classroom because it helps enable students to go at a pace that suits them, and it helps with teacher organization when differentiating lessons]]> 2017-08-02 21:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/179981108 https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/179982828 I plan on using Google Classroom as a way for my students to practice math skills at home.  Also, I would love to implement the lab rotations this year in my math classroom.  It would be great to have a bank of computers for students while I work with small groups. Blended Learning classrooms allow for teachers to differentiate the lessons and move at their own pace. Very student centered learning

Even with 4-6 kids, they do not all need the same help from me at the same time. I am hoping with google classroom I can add videos and task that they can do individually when needed. 

I feel anything that we can do with technology is great with the kids. Exposure is the key no matter what form it comes in. I also enjoy the way you can work together on the platform as well. ]]> 2017-08-02 23:15:51 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/179987433 rebekah_mesa https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/179996178 I plan on using google classroom as a place for students to go during a technology rotations and find independent practice and also instructions on what they are to do at certain rotations. I think it is valuable because it is a safe platform for your students to access in order to make Blended Learning work. ]]> 2017-08-03 00:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/179996178 https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180012806 I plan on using google classroom to collaborate with other teachers across the same content and grade level. I also plan on creating a list of approved research resources for student groups based on readiness, interest, academic level, or other factors for teaching and learning. I like the idea of having four stations rotation approach through technology. It's very student centered and fulfills the requirement of Blended Learning.]]> 2017-08-03 03:56:43 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180012806 https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180058566 I would like to use Google classroom as a way to cut back on the amount of paperwork and to allow students to discuss and collaborate on topics in the classroom- even with students that may not be in the same class period as they are. I feel like in today's world, students can better express themselves with technology- whether in writing or video and that would allow them to better express their understanding of topics.

In Science classrooms, I've always done a lot of station rotation activities, so adding google classroom and technology into those stations as we've done in the past allows students to access that same material but in a format they are more comfortable with. Google classroom with allow me to follow up on some of those activities later when I am needed at a different small group station during the class period.]]> 2017-08-03 16:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180058566 https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180072283 I loved using Google Classroom last year. The video on Blended Learning was very interesting. My students actually wrote vignettes last year in Spanish class as their major end of the year project. They read the story La Casa en Mango Street too. The challenge I am having with Google classroom is how to grade automatically using the system. I have used it in every other way but I hear this is supposed to be a function. However, I have not been able to use it. Google Classroom gives you immediate access to your students even when they are not in the classroom. When my students were working on their project they were able to post questions and discuss issues with their classmates to resolve those problems using the ]]> 2017-08-03 20:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180072283 https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180072401 I plan to use Google Classroom as a tool to facilitate small group instruction and encourage group collaboration.  I will place assignments online and students will have a due date to complete the individual and group work.  I plan to have students use google documents so I can provide immediate feedback on their work.  I can also create quizlet assignments for them to complete online.

Perhaps as a staion during reading workshop...I would love to hear ways other elem. teachers (1st-3rd) have used it in their classrooms. I like the idea of using it for quizlet assignments.
I believe it is important for students to learn on a platform such as this because of the move towards blended learning and technology centered classrooms. Students have the ability to be more independent in their learning. It is a must for me to learn as well! ]]> 2017-08-05 17:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180174615 margaret_deal https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180179623 I was very interested in the station rotation and flipped classroom models because I felt like I could use both of them in some combination in my classroom. I already record lessons and put them on YouTube for my kids but being able to assign that as "homework" and having the kids come in and rotate through practice, refinement and enrichment stations based on their strengths is really appealing to me.  I think I could do a lot of this in Classroom by assigning the lesson and a quiz via Forms to assess what they learned.  Based on that assessment, I could group them into stations and work with the kids who need me most on what they need the most help with.  I can also see what they're missing for the refinement station.]]> 2017-08-05 21:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180179623 https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180286955 I teach third-grade math and science. As of now, I plan to use Google Classroom to attach homework that way students and parents know where to find it if the original is misplaced. I also plan to use it for announcements such as upcoming school events and test dates. While exploring the different platforms I realized I can definitely utilize station rotation. My students already go to station including computers to play games to enhance their math skills in a fun way, but now I can possibly add a second computer station, or switch between the two, with Google Classroom for quick assessments and assignments. The platforms give you various ways to implenment learning. ]]> 2017-08-07 17:18:44 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180286955 https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180287791 I have to say that I was inspired by some of the schools that I saw.  I would love if this school district would open up a campus similar to the flex model classroom. I think many of our children would be very successful in this type of model.
As for my own classroom, I already started using the station type model in my classroom when I got the new computers last year.  It really helped the flex rotations when there were enough computers so that it could work smoothly.
I also love that this can be so collaborative when it comes to teachers.  Posting homework as a group would be great because kids can "see" other teachers present the lessons as well and pick up different things from different teachers.  We can also use each others videos and not have to keep redoing the same lessons.  I think a lot of time can be saved over time.]]> 2017-08-07 17:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180287791 https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180315463 I teach second grade math and science. I started using Google Classroom last year to give homework assignments and a couple of classroom assignments. I thought it was difficult because we didn't have enough computers for all of our students to access easily. This year we have a different set up, with more computers per class. I really look forward to using technology as a regular rotation. 
I was very impressed with some of the schools that I saw on the videos. I love that when learning is more individualized, the students take more ownership in their work. (I realize that second graders aren't as independent as the older students, but we can certainly make a step in that direction.) I look forward to seeing what we are capable of this year.]]> 2017-08-08 00:13:45 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180315463 https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180382522 I am struggling to figure out how I will be able to truly implement this into my Kindergarten Classroom. I imagine I will be able to find a few way to make it work in a station rotation. I know they will not be as advanced or as heavily relied on technology because of the younger age. I will have to do a lot of brainstorming and learn more about Google Classroom to be able to implement it into my class. I was inspired by some of these techniques and loved seeing how other schools have changed the way of teaching. As I said before, I don’t think I will be very successful implementing too many of those learning styles into my kindergarten class but I am always open to ideas!

I would like to have classroom be an outlet where kids can get their small group instructions for their rotations and also some assignments while I work with other small groups around the room. I think Classroom has so many great ways that it can be used. I would also like to have an online IMN/ISN so the kids can refer back to it when needed. ]]> 2017-08-08 20:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_haymes/r70a7bi278aq/wish/180409972
