Clean sweep for the Bears against Raytown South! It was a great night of volleyball! Way to battle and make it count when it mattered most! 💙🏐💛 #willoverskill#bearfamily
Have we sold ourselves into a "fast food market of education?" Ken Robinson believes so in his video "Bring on the learning revolution!" Question of the day: How do we make students love learning new concepts in our rooms to where they don't have concept of time⏰⏰⏰ #ParkEdTech
In the video "The Learning Pit" we must have a room filled with QUESTIONS! When students ask questions they become invested in the topic because they want to know WHY! This deepens their way of thinking and strengthens important life skills! #ParkEdTech
Will Richardson✅👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼! As educators we need to practice what we preach! We need to come together and collaborate how we can fix the disconnect from what we believe and what we practice in our classrooms. Question of the day: How can we stick to the orange list? #ParkEdTech
Will Richardson brought to light "unproductive learning." Question of the day: How will we get students to retain information that they don't have a passion for? /// How as educators do we change how we are presenting topics to students so they become interested? #ParkEdTech
In the video "The Surprising Truth About Learning in Schools" Will Richardson wonders which direction schools will go in. "We now have more non traditional jobs and kids going to school learning traditional ways." Question of the day: HOW WILL OUR SCHOOLS CHANGE? #ParkEdTech
@MrCTaylorHMC YESSS! Teachers need to be there to support students' wants for their future! I always push my students towards their dreams because that is the best thing for a student. Helping them get to where they want to go is such a blessing in the teaching field.
@MsBruhnELA I love to give students different choices on how they are to complete an assignment. They can do it on paper or on the computer! It has made them feel in control of their learning. They also get the choice of seating where they can complete their work!
@rmpan26@MsBruhnELA I completely agree! This year has really made me change my outlook on education completely. We have to do what is best for children because students all have different learning styles.
@HausEnglish@Columbia I can totally believe that! I always believe that you need to make a mini-lesson for your students. All the information comes from that short lesson and then let the kids work on the information they received!
