Students, parents, and teachers will have a strong sense of community by collaborating and contributing to school-wide information and updates. Teachers who implement this into their classroom can personalize feedback points for individuals for the entire class. Students can personalize their Class Dojo avatar to make them unique or represent themselves.]]> 2022-09-26 23:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314499209 evansmarykate https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314503644 Implementation Idea: Kahoot! can be used in classrooms in a variety of ways. It can be used as an incentive for students to work towards at the end of a lesson. However, a great way is for students to showcase their understanding of a topic by creating their own Kahoot or questions to contribute to the review game. This gives students a sense of ownership and allows teachers to see what they think is the most important information they learned throughout the unit. ]]> 2022-09-26 23:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314503644 evansmarykate https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314503817 Implementation Idea: Using X-tra Math as a morning warm up. As students arrive and gather their belongings and breakfast to start their day, they can complete a round of math fact practice as "bell work" on Xtra-Math. One round should take around 5 minutes if students are fully engaged.]]> 2022-09-26 23:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314503817 evansmarykate https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314503866 Implementation Idea: Adding Prodigy to student choice boards during independent or guided math centers. Students have the option to work through Prodigy by answering math questions. When connected to the teacher, they can be working on specific skills currently being practiced in the classroom or individual instructional levels. Prodigy increases student collaboration and social skills when they "meet up" within the game to challenge each other on math skills. ]]> 2022-09-26 23:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314503866 evansmarykate https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314503950 Implementation Idea: Regardless of being an in-person or virtual classroom, setting up Google Classroom for your students will be beneficial for increasing collaboration, communication, and engagement. When introducing Google Classroom in the first few days of school, it is important to outline expectations and appropriate behavior within Google Classroom. Practicing expectations will allow the tool to be a safe space for all learners. ]]> 2022-09-26 23:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314503950 evansmarykate https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314504037 Implementation Idea: Using Loom Videos in place of weekly newsletters to give a more personalized update to the happenings in your classroom. Another idea would be include an option for students to record a video or screen recording of a project or presentation during student choice boards. This will allow students to become engaged because they have a voice in their learning path. ]]> 2022-09-26 23:30:05 UTC https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314504037 evansmarykate https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314504089 Implementation Idea: Using a noise level monitor like Bouncy Balls during transitions, arrival, dismissal, or independent quiet time is a great use of this tool. Students can engage in the healthy competition of keeping the bouncing balls still (by staying quiet) and they can choose what style of ball they want (plastic, bubbles, numbers, eyeballs or emojis). This can be an incentive for meeting voice levels successfully.]]> 2022-09-26 23:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314504089 evansmarykate https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314504411 Implementation Idea: In my classroom, homework is always a struggle. I have found through the use of game-based programs that student engagement and excitement over using the program is so high, that if all students had appropriate internet access at home, this is a great homework option. Teachers could assign a set amount of time per day or week that a student would be required to be "playing" Classcraft, which in turn is skill practice, SEL learning, or collaboration skills. ]]> 2022-09-26 23:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314504411 evansmarykate https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314549679 Implementation Idea: Khan Academy is a great tool to use to supplement curriculum, especially in learning centers and independent intervention time. Teachers can assign activities, lessons, and informational videos that align with standards or students MAPs benchmarking scores. This allows students to become more engaged because they can be working on content at their level. Students can be front loaded information and lessons prior to the start of the new topic to feel successful. ]]> 2022-09-27 00:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314549679 evansmarykate https://padlet.com/evansmarykate/zo0jqpg15twk59k2/wish/2314626937 Google Classroom is a platform where teachers can post assignments, ask discussion questions, share resources, and have meaningful communication with classes.
