Nothing like starting the day with a student giving you his basketball jersey to rock all day because you made a difference for him ๐ such an amazing feeling & amazing young man. And of course, 6๏ธโฃ7๏ธโฃ ๐คฃ @BaysideMSVBCPS
STEAM club got to grow their @Sphero knowledge with the Indis! Students voted & this was their favorite of the 3! ๐ Tons of laughter & iterations & problem solving while getting through the mazes ๐ฉโ๐ป @BaysideMSVBCPS
When your Generational STEAM club grows by 10 students & the robots grow too! @Sphero minis to RVR was a big physical change but they were up for the 'intimidating' challenge! Coding isn't as scary anymore when using block coding & working together! ๐ค @BaysideMSVBCPS
When you do a lesson & get "I'm proud of my design, can you take a picture?" ABSOLUTELY. I love that we built an environment where they're willing to take risks with me & then show off their designs to classmates & adults! Thanks to our ITS for an amazing lesson! @BaysideMSVBCPS
This month's @AdobeExpress creative challenge was so unique and fun - the students loved using the gallery feature to see what everyone created! Plus they snuck in the create your own gradient coloring - we were in heaven here! #AdobeEduCreative
STEAM after school club partnering with Generational started today - students were learning to block code to get their obstacles using @Sphero minis! @BaysideMSVBCPS
Thanks to @NauticusNorfolk for coming in to our REECH STEAM club! Students had such a good time learning about & creating boats to master the challenge - all the adults were impressed! @BaysideMSVBCPS
This week we used @ThingLink_EDU to create quizzes on different US states (besides VA). So fun watching them test each other's knowledge!
*this was after I schooled them in naming the states in alpha order - thanks Hanover ES @BethlehemAreaSD for the fifty nifty song years ago๐บ๐ธ
Nothing like reading Steam Power by @timneedles & his chapter on upcycling right as your Ss finish their robot projects!
If you haven't read this book, run & get it! I'm 50 pages in & WOW it's incredible - his insights and ideas are amazing! Can't wait to create even more!
You know what's fun - when the teacher says you can play video games all class. The catch? You just have to code it yourself. Students worked hard & played hard today which was the best to watch ๐ฎ @BaysideMSVBCPS
Love this month's @AdobeForEdu challenge - community quilt squares! Students had a blast shaping their patch with AI and then I turned them into stickers for the students to enjoy using the Cricut #AdobeEduCreative
Nothing like ending the week with a virtual field trip using @ClassVR ! Loved taking the students around the world to new places - so many good conversations had (& a few laughs from me when showing places they've never been to & hearing their goofy reactions ๐) @BaysideMSVBCPS
Couldn't find my ๐ฑ, find it with a girl 'sneaky' recording herself so I didn't say anything.
End of class "I wanted to show @AdobeForEdu I was working hard on my quilt, hope you enjoy my video!"
This is the joy I didn't know I needed today ๐ #AdobeEduCreative@BaysideMSVBCPS
Truly honored to attend the Eagle Scout Ceremony for a (former) student of mine. So proud of this young man & all he has accomplished, earning 100 Merit badges and already 5 silver add-ons to his eagle badge! ๐ฆ Can't wait to see what you accomplish next! @boyscouts
First design thinking challenge of the year - 3D name tags! Always fun to watch how everyone thinks through it, works with each other, & figures it out with so little directions from me #STEMeducation#designthinking
Think you can't take an @AdobeForEdu monthly challenge to use in your math class? Think again! Here's the ๐ of doing just that - using this months creative challenge for math! ๐๐ค
