Wish I could be there for North’s Senior Send-off Celebration tonight! It is getting close to Leah’s bedtime but I have her in her new Knights shirt! ☺️Thinking of all the 2020 graduates! Congratulations! @GrayslakeNorth#NorthKnights#d127GetsReal#knightpride
Students present their Little Free Library plans, ideas and math used for their project this semester. They had a gallery walk set up for faculty and building administration. Valuable feedback was given, as they prepare to construct their 3D models this week! #d127getsreal#PBL
Great Institute Day Friday with Teachers Teaching Teachers! We enjoyed learning about new things, and Kim Vojcak and I enjoyed teaching about how to use Flipgrid in the classroom! Allowing students to become better learners through teaching! #d127getsreal#TTT#Flipgrid
Geometry & Art classes getting motivated at North for our next PBL! My brother in-law, who started a Mini Library Mission in his town, came as a guest speaker today! We’re ready to take a big step into creating our own mini libraries here at North! @KimJohnsonGNHS #d127getsreal
Students create a library of student led video explanations of HW problems using Flipgrid! Completed work the night before, assessed their answers the next day, and put themselves into groups differentiated by what they need to work on most! #d127getsREAL#LearningThroughTeaching
Students created their own SMART goals and sent e-mails home to parents explaining their personal goals for class. Opening communication beyond just teacher and parents, and encouraging students to take charge of their own learning. #d127getsREAL#SMARTgoals
Celebrating our students, remembering the “why” in what we do, and ready to start a new school year! I’m so impressed with our students at today’s institute day! Amazing job! ❤️ #d127getsREAL#teacherlife
@edutopia @KimJohn05788986 Throughout the semester, the Driving Question was, “How do we,as student designers, create a desirable space to support Blended Learning Students during their Blended Learning period?” It was a project that consisted of research, mathematical thinking and a presentation of ideas!
We did so much with our PBL this school year in Geometry! It is much more than just a project. It is a process. A way of learning through research, collaboration, teaching and reflecting. @KimJohn05788986 #D127GetsREAL#PBL
@edutopia @KimJohn05788986 Here are a few more pictures of the hard work students put into this! What an amazing outcome for our Blended Classroom! @KimJohn05788986
