yeah jeopardy is really common. i agree pushing ss to dok 4 and allowing for creativity would be refreshing. https://t.co/WOmSsDaFob

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

A7: I've seen DOK 1 games like jeopardy used but would like to use games for my own class that involve DOK 4 (think SharkTank, where Ss have to be creative).

unfortunately haven't seen in an actual classroom, but def can bring these ideas when i do my student observations! #ci149 https://t.co/z4vPAJGf7S

[Makaela Bowen @MsEduKae]

Q7: Have you seen any of these methods in action in a classroom? Tell us about it! If not, what are you most excited to try in your own? #ci149

[Mikaela Magaña @MagMikaela]

most def! and in regards to subjects i think it depends on the creativity of our ss. #ci149 https://t.co/z4c05JQyaB

[Makaela Bowen @MsEduKae]

Q6: Does your IM address accessibility? Are there subjects or students that you see your IM working better with? #ci149

[Mikaela Magaña @MagMikaela]

good point, making sure the larger focus of the lesson is not forgotten is impt to stress. we want our ss to enjoy themselves but know the reason behind the lesson https://t.co/Km6F3lsSv8

[Germán Cervantes @germancer96]

A5: GBL. students might get carried away by competition rather than by the learning. Establish clear purpose, classroom managements and guidelines for the games. #ci149

[Mikaela Magaña @MagMikaela]

managing the time allowed on projects, making sure ss have enough time to produce their best work. dont want them to feel rushed. #ci149 https://t.co/SqDBl5JF0P

[Makaela Bowen @MsEduKae]

Q5: What are some limitations of your IM? How might you combat those in your classroom? #ci149

[Mikaela Magaña @MagMikaela]

podcasts?! that's so awesome!! https://t.co/Gc19S8DGcZ

[Melissa Au Yeong @mauyeong]

Love our CLG podcasts!#ci149 https://t.co/7p285mdWQi

[Mikaela Magaña @MagMikaela]

Q4: we integrate tech by having ss create projects through google draw, youtube, instructional vids, giving them options of using tech they are most comfortable with #ci149

[Mikaela Magaña @MagMikaela]

yes! the concept of being student centered in stressed in Pbl #ci149 https://t.co/gyBdajKAN6

[Mikaela Magaña @MagMikaela]

Q3: ss are given the option to present their projects across multiple platforms such as imovie, google draw, penzu, etc. they are able to show the flair they have and what they have learned! #ci149

[Mikaela Magaña @MagMikaela]

totally! building that rapport is crucial, as burgess mentioned in TLAP #ci149 https://t.co/WoMVHpjO8W

[Dylan Harris @Frbllth]

@AGallagher1992 Good point. Working with peers, towards a common goal, gives a sense of community. Makes a Ss feel some comfort knowing they're not alone, and that there's someone who can help them #ci149

[Mikaela Magaña @MagMikaela]

yes as we've learned in this class ss love tech! its impt that they are used to tech too since it is the future as well! #ci149 https://t.co/BqRD5xl5aT

[Mikaela Magaña @MagMikaela]

for sure! on top of this, the enviornment is made to be welcoming and full of enthusiasm! #ci149 https://t.co/jcCv7ilxOo

[Makaela Bowen @MsEduKae]

Awesome! Games really can be a great way to get students engaged, especially when winners and losers are not divided! #ci149 https://t.co/iZ8pbb2vFD

[Mikaela Magaña @MagMikaela]

ss demonstrate their creative skills with our class, while teaching the lesson they've learned #ci149 https://t.co/qnOIGi5AkL

[Makaela Bowen @MsEduKae]

Q2: What makes your IM engaging for students? #ci149

[Mikaela Magaña @MagMikaela]

couldn't agree more! essential life skill for sure #ci149 https://t.co/XDZ1MrMA9n

[Mikaela Magaña @MagMikaela]

most def! the old fashioned and unopen to new ideas types would say this #ci149 https://t.co/13KnPkVIfF

[Yaimar DeLeon @YaimarDeleon]

Yes! I think alot of teachers who arent willing to see the endless possibilities of incoporaring standards would say this #ProjBL #ci149 https://t.co/gXOBNUDMZi

[Mikaela Magaña @MagMikaela]

heard this before too, but like we've learned in TLAP competition is great! ss are eager to grasp concepts and come out on top. comp isn't bad #ci149 https://t.co/ZbGgJFpnmQ

[Ron Brosowske @RonBrosowske]

A1: Some will think that game based learning becomes more about winning a game rather than learning. #ci149
