7th Grade Science @GriffinMSGators finished up a massive PBL over natural and artificial selection and how species adapt over time. They used @GetSchoolAI and @canva to get their learning and show their understanding. One creature was a cross between a crab and a capybara!

TX History classes @GriffinMSGators are participating in mock trials this week. Students have been preparing for the trial for many days, including working with trial assistants in @GetSchoolAI. Great job 7th Grade!

Hey @genially, I have tried to share two presentations for students to view this morning and get the attached image for both. Is this an issue on your end? Thx.

Ms. Mohundro's class just escaped the tunnels of Perses with a digital breakout over the novel MiNRS. Fun (and learning) was had by all. @JeffGuelker

Ms. Weber's classes are working through a playlist on solving equations. Students are using @SnorklApp to help provide immediate feedback throughout the playlist. What a great use of blended learning! @JeffGuelker @PulisScience

@GetSchoolAI @JeffGuelker Here ya go: https://t.co/CSiaeVh5QK

Blanton's Skills for Living classes are doing a "Chopped" competition. Students were given a list of ingredients and used @GetSchoolAI to help determine some recipe options (real world). Best part, I get to be a judge on Thursday! @JeffGuelker

Stranger Things meets math. Well, not exactly, but 6th Math at Trent are doing a playlist with the theme of "Integer Things". It is self-paced with teacher checkpoints along the way. Lowman and McCarthy know how to meet students where they are. @JeffGuelker @PulisScience

@GetSchoolAI @JeffGuelker Nice. Let me check to see if this teacher has it and is willing to share.

Trent 6th Social Studies students are working through a Communism and Cold War playlist with teacher checkpoints. They will use @magicschoolai to analyze a rap battle between Communism and Capitalism plus have a conversation with Gorbachev. @JeffGuelker @OliviaBlackmon_

Mrs. Tuorto's Spanish I classes are doing a great blended station rotation over the yo form in verbs. In one station, students are having an entire conversation in Spanish with @GetSchoolAI. @GriffinMSGators

US History simulated events surrounding the Louisiana Purchase. Students were divided into the Press Room and Situation Room to prepare and then held a press conference to show their learning. What a great PBL opportunity! @JeffGuelker @OliviaBlackmon_ @FISDsocstudies

[Andy Kindred @HistoryandTech]

How cool is this? Academy Connect built their own review games using @canva code. Then, other students provided feedback in our "arcade" while learning during the review. Awesome! @JeffGuelker @ItsAllUp_Hill @PulisScience

[Andy Kindred @HistoryandTech]

"We're never going to use this" is a quote you here often in Algebra. Mrs. Barrier decided to use @GetSchoolAI to help her students understand how you might use linear equations in the real world. @JeffGuelker @PulisScience

[Andy Kindred @HistoryandTech]

Trent 6 ILA finished off their projects with "No Words" presentations. Students used @GetSchoolAI to generate images that they used in their slides. They were not allowed to have words on the slides so they had to be experts on their topics. @JeffGuelker @OliviaBlackmon_

[Andy Kindred @HistoryandTech]

Presentation Day in 7th Science @GriffinMSGators. Students are presenting to a room full of astronauts about their upcoming journey into space. We are blending our presentations between physical posters and creative digital versions.

[Andy Kindred @HistoryandTech]

Bringing science into the real world! 6th graders @GriffinMSGators are creating "Tiny House" blueprints that show energy transformations. Project-Based Learning at its finest this week.

[Andy Kindred @HistoryandTech]

I had one of the best days of my time as a digital learning coach with the opportunity to work with our Functional Academics students at Griffin yesterday. These students learned about South America using @curipodofficial. I can't wait to go back! @GriffinMSGators

[Andy Kindred @HistoryandTech]

6th ILA at Trent is using @GetSchoolAI to help them organize their presentations and create images to include on each slide. @JeffGuelker @OliviaBlackmon_

[Andy Kindred @HistoryandTech]

6th grade World Cultures classes are going through a simulation to decide if the fictional country of Norvia should enter the European Union. They are using @canva and getting assistance from @GetSchoolAI as they make their decisions. @JeffGuelker @OliviaBlackmon_
