They became masters of this routine and knew just what to expect and what to do. The specific practices were Asking Questions and Developing & Using Models. ]]> 2022-06-23 16:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kylersimon2/sozskacoic6ea5m2/wish/2229049620 https://padlet.com/kylersimon2/sozskacoic6ea5m2/wish/2229049681 My students were engaged in several of the practices while researching their robotics projects, experimenting with their builds, and then after observing other's projects and their own they were able to improve on the design.]]> 2022-06-23 16:57:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kylersimon2/sozskacoic6ea5m2/wish/2229049681 https://padlet.com/kylersimon2/sozskacoic6ea5m2/wish/2229050055 When my students engaged in creating models for the hottest areas of the playground in order to see what would happen to the temperature if the materials were replaced with other materials that didn't absorb heat as readily

The students wanted to do more research into certain areas but we did not have the equipment or the money to purchase the needed materials. Also, due to time limits, they were forced to stop when they were getting very interested.]]> 2022-06-23 16:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kylersimon2/sozskacoic6ea5m2/wish/2229050347 https://padlet.com/kylersimon2/sozskacoic6ea5m2/wish/2229050591 YES! My understanding of each practice has changed for the better, specifically what it looks like when students are engaged in each of them. What counts as "Developing & Using Models" and what doesn't count for example. ]]> 2022-06-23 16:59:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kylersimon2/sozskacoic6ea5m2/wish/2229050591 https://padlet.com/kylersimon2/sozskacoic6ea5m2/wish/2229050823 I've realized how many details there are in the practices. I've also realized there is not a set yes and no but instead just more questions created by answer the questions!]]> 2022-06-23 16:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kylersimon2/sozskacoic6ea5m2/wish/2229050823 https://padlet.com/kylersimon2/sozskacoic6ea5m2/wish/2229051280 Now I tend to ask myself "why are we doing this" alot more. I find myself questioning whether where what we are learning is going and kicking out things that fall under the category as "busy work"]]> 2022-06-23 17:00:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kylersimon2/sozskacoic6ea5m2/wish/2229051280 https://padlet.com/kylersimon2/sozskacoic6ea5m2/wish/2229108979 Time. I still need to be able to manage my time more effectively. We had to rush through our last activity in such a way that students didn't really get an opportunity to process what we'd done.]]> 2022-06-23 18:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kylersimon2/sozskacoic6ea5m2/wish/2229108979
