The game of Life also reinforces choices we make, attend college or don't, buy the cheaper house or more expensive. We also encounter the unexpected, "tree falls on house, pay $15,000 if not insured" #cep813
The board game Life fills a large semiotic domain and makes actual life seem easier than it can sometimes be, but does follow the basic principles of adulthood: keeping a job, managing money, getting married & having kids, paying taxes, being prepared with insurance #cep813
In his book Persuasive Games: The expressive power of video games, Ian Bogost talks about a game called Tenure, which is a simulation of a teacher's first year on the job. My takeaway: there is no perfect decision in our job! Someone is always unhappy no matter what. #cep813
Phrases that may not make sense to someone not in the semiotic domain of teaching: scaffolding, differentiation, at risk student, best practices, tiered intervention service, IEP, transition time, learning target, professional development, common core, risk factors, NCLB #cep813

Created an assessment using Google Classroom. I think I would really love to use this with my students if they were a little older...kindergarten presents some pretty unique challenges https://t.co/kQLDckBHfT #CEP813#MAET
True/false and multiple choice are great for quick grading, and provide instant feedback in an online course. Though it takes longer to grade, can't you gather more information about what a student knows from a short answer quiz? #cep813
