Last night @sdedragons hosted our Publix Math Night and we had a blast! Thankful for the community store supporting our dragons, and for the amazing faculty and staff that made a point to join us. ππ We laughed from beginning to end π
#SDEReads@klowrey22@hmconyers A6: The Ss would absolutely LOVE it. I would be excited for this to happen for our Ss. It would take planning and finding necessary resources to make it the best it could be!
#SDEReads@klowrey22@hmconyers A5: Uncomfortable would be creating from scratch.. I tend to overthink things. Comfortable with passive consuming.. opens new doors might not ever open
#SDEReads@klowrey22@hmconyers A4: The goal to creating Ss who are self starters/managers/directors is tap into their interests. Allowing them to own their learning .
#SDEReads@klowrey22@hmconyers A3: Reflecting on the last 3 years of teaching, I cannot confidently say the majority of them would thrive. However, maturity and learning coping mechanisms can do a lot assist in thriving (PBL too).
#SDEReads@klowrey22@hmconyers A2: Depends on the S you asked and how you asked. It would diffently require teaching the Ss the standard verbage and not concept/skill verbage.
#SDEReads@klowrey22@hmconyers A1: It tanked, blew up and burned... however, it didn't deter me. I thought about the reasons it imploded and vowed to make it better by revamping it.
#SDEReads@klowrey22@hmconyers Intro: My best hands on, full engagement was in science on matter. The Ss were engaged, overjoyed watching the process and eager for the final outcome.
#SDEReads@klowrey22@hmconyers A5: Technology allows creativity. Choice Boards are also popular. Can take the standard to create in a song, a comic. Choices can be fun and show hidden talents students have
#SDEReads@klowrey22@hmconyers A3: Bring on the debate.. No, I do not hear this often enough on how to bring technology in that MAKES IT TRULY ENGAGING.
#SDEReads@klowrey22@hmconyers A2: The one needing the most mental adjustment is: #1. With mandated curriculum it is sometimes hard to think outside the box to offer choices.
#SDEReads@klowrey22@hmconyers A1: The 2 truths that stood out to me are: #1-deserves to own their learning & #6 we have a huge impact on our Ss life.
#SDEReads@klowrey22@hmconyers A6: I honestly cannot think of one assignment or project given to me that I was passionate about. I grew up old school, and group projects resulted in one person doing all the work while the freeloaders got credit. Disheartening
#SDEReads@klowrey22@hmconyers A5: PBL takes planning. I'd certainly love to do more but feel tied down by the constraints of mandated to dos. Not an excuse, change thinking and move forwards. Ideas: plant a garden, creating a class store, reader's theatre (create all props)
