Educate with your heart, not just your mind. by Olivia Graham https://padlet.com/olivialynne708/wphe4jzjv5n3qb8v Special Education Major at Trinity Christian College en-us 2022-07-26 02:15:56 UTC 2022-08-20 21:58:00 UTC hello@padlet.com Enduring Engagement olivialynne708 https://padlet.com/olivialynne708/wphe4jzjv5n3qb8v/wish/2249639846 2022-07-26 02:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/olivialynne708/wphe4jzjv5n3qb8v/wish/2249639846 Inexpensive Rewards olivialynne708 https://padlet.com/olivialynne708/wphe4jzjv5n3qb8v/wish/2250175021 When engaging students, considering inexpensive rewards to have in the classroom can help motivate students to remain engaged during an active learning lesson! Being aware of what specific students may like that are out of the ordinary is always helpful to be aware of as well! Creating a chart that includes specific inexpensive items  such as specific snacks or other items a certain student would become motivated and engaged in the lesson can be a reliable resource for any teacher!

The engaging part of the game is to have the whole class play the traditional game telephone, but the sentences built have to have a clear and complete meaning. Therefore, the person who starts the sentence must follow the appropriate terms to create a clear and complete sentence. After the sentence is finished the last person will write it on the board. Then the game will go on and the following sentences must be in relation to the first sentences. Once 8-10 sentences are up on the board, each individual will go and fill in the appropriate grammar for the sentence. ]]> 2022-07-29 16:01:02 UTC https://padlet.com/olivialynne708/wphe4jzjv5n3qb8v/wish/2251811604 Get Tricky olivialynne708 https://padlet.com/olivialynne708/wphe4jzjv5n3qb8v/wish/2252373695 "Tip #1 -Tell stories that relate the lesson to real life. I didn’t tell the same story to my 7th graders as I did my GED student with two kids. Relate the lesson to things your age group might experience.

Tip #2 -Give work in smaller amounts. Giving a packet of work is different than giving a worksheet every day. I packet of work my look like a very daunting task for a 4th grader to complete. Try giving one-sided worksheets, that can be completed in-class, one at a time.

Tip #3 -Sequence work and new information with the easiest answers first. If you start a worksheet or an assessment with the hardest question and answers, students will give up altogether and lose interest. They want to feel successful even if they get stuck on a few hard questions, they can see they have achieved the majority of work.

Tip #4 -Let students turn in uncompleted work. It’s better to know what they are getting, instead of nothing at all. You might have student that has 14/20 questions complete but did not turn it in because they didn’t complete all of it. Then it’s just sitting in their desk, backpack, or binder. A student will lose interest because they feel overwhelmed because they are behind and still have a worksheet they didn’t complete and turn in. Essentially, always grade what students have, completed or not."

It involves an open discussion within a closed digital environment (Twitter)  This will show you why social media and open forums for a classroom can continue to keep your students engage by utilizing technology. I leave you with this quote from the article to help gain a better understanding of the value of this teaching method, "The guided use of open forms of social
 media in school offers new ways for students to access,
 engage with, and make sense of the world around them,
 both within and outside of their classroom walls."]]> 2022-08-08 01:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/olivialynne708/wphe4jzjv5n3qb8v/wish/2256318196 Affirmations olivialynne708 https://padlet.com/olivialynne708/wphe4jzjv5n3qb8v/wish/2257750562 Social Emotional Support is so important to incorporate into your classroom as a teacher. I plan to create an affirmation station in a private area of my classroom. That way students can express themselves freely in an area where no one is judging them but themselves and it will help students be honest with themselves and how they feel and hopefully let others know how they feel too. ]]> 2022-08-09 23:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/olivialynne708/wphe4jzjv5n3qb8v/wish/2257750562
