I would never have thought of a classroom setting like this one. It gives every student who learns at a different pace (which they all do), an opportunity to succeed instead of slowing students thoughts down and doing something that will help engage them. By giving students something relevant to them each student will want to learn more and it will make each student more interested in each topic/subject. gbirdseye https://padlet.com/gbirdseye/edtech/wish/71086039 2015-09-19 15:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/gbirdseye/edtech/wish/71086039 If you engage students in a classroom they will want to come to school everyday, they'll become more interested in everything that is happening in the classroom, and they'll want to learn more about different things everyday. gbirdseye https://padlet.com/gbirdseye/edtech/wish/71086079 2015-09-19 15:12:13 UTC https://padlet.com/gbirdseye/edtech/wish/71086079 I personally would like to experience a schooling setting like the one room schoolhouse of the 21st century, where students can work at their own pace and they won't get docked points for being "so far behind." It gives each student a chance to succeed in their own ways, instead of falling behind. If this would have been an option when I was in high school I don't think I would be/have struggled with education as much, as I did in the Duluth Public School system. We should make more of these ideas more available for students. If I had a child and I knew she/he was struggling in school I would have them go to this school to see if this would work better for them instead of continuing to see them struggle during their education career, because I wouldn't want them to get discouraged to go onto college, which tends to happen when students seem to have had a rough education experience from k-12. gbirdseye https://padlet.com/gbirdseye/edtech/wish/71086171 2015-09-19 15:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/gbirdseye/edtech/wish/71086171 I wouldn't ever tell my students to try harder, because they could get discouraged from this concept. I don't know how hard they are actually trying, so if they're giving their fullest attempts to succeed and I tell them to try harder, it could potentially discourage a student/child to stop trying all together. gbirdseye https://padlet.com/gbirdseye/edtech/wish/71086542 2015-09-19 15:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gbirdseye/edtech/wish/71086542 We need to make classrooms more interactive for students, so that they don't get bored right away in the setting. We need to get to know we student so that we are aware of what their interests are so that we can use those in our classrooms and grab the students attention, instead of boring them to death. Most educators don't try enough to get to know their students on a personal level. My personal opinion is that educators don't know how far to dig to get to know their students so their afraid of getting to know too much, so they don't try, they don't want to get into trouble for digging to deep or getting to know a person too much. gbirdseye https://padlet.com/gbirdseye/edtech/wish/71086588 2015-09-19 15:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/gbirdseye/edtech/wish/71086588 I thought it was a good idea when they mentioned that each student doesn't sit at a computer all day everyday, they have breaks and are able to go to 'workshops' so they don't get too bored, or lonesome sitting and working by themselves. I also found it to be a cool aspect that the students are basically best friends with the principle and all of the other educators in the building. I thinks its interesting that every educator has access to up to date information on how students are doing every second of everyday, and they give them suggestions as of what they can do to make things go better next time and get a better score on assignments, as a "what next" aspect of a classroom. gbirdseye https://padlet.com/gbirdseye/edtech/wish/71086738 2015-09-19 15:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gbirdseye/edtech/wish/71086738 What do I think of Padlet? gbirdseye https://padlet.com/gbirdseye/edtech/wish/71086833 2015-09-19 15:39:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gbirdseye/edtech/wish/71086833 I didn't know what to think of Padlet to begin with,. I was just searching for a new web tool to post my thoughts on and this one popped up, and I thought I'd give it a try. After experimenting with it for a while I came to understanding that I actually liked using this application. I would probably use it again if I was ever given the chance to do so in a classroom setting. I like how it looks so much a cork board and its so simple to use. Its not too complex and its not too easy, it falls somewhere in between those two things, so its a perfect difficulty level. gbirdseye https://padlet.com/gbirdseye/edtech/wish/71086835 2015-09-19 15:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gbirdseye/edtech/wish/71086835
