Yesterday I had the wonderful opportunity to share ideas for creativity in the classroom along with fellow presenters @Ms_GTeixeira and @Madsciencelove to the new teachers of the @oakdiocese. Thank you for the invitation @21stCenSupKW!

@pentaclethra @classcraftgame @21stCenSupKW A couple of my Ss faves are (1) “crazy dj” when I play a minute of a classic song and they have to guess the artist/title (2) “beaming up” a student to the next level (3) “riddle of the Sphinx” when I ask them a riddle. What are some of your favorites?

[Michael Stokes @StokedLearning]

My students love the #classcraft random events so much that they combined all their action points to activate five random events at once! Talk about teamwork and collaboration. #edtech #gamification #gamify @classcraftgame @21stCenSupKW

The @Ms_GTeixeira 3rd grade math board is always a great way for the class to learn new math concepts. Examples, essential questions, color, opportunities for collaboration, differentiated questions, and a little humor! #Mathematics

What an inspiring way to empower kids in pursuing their own learning!

He's back! Math Challenge Yoda will dress up in awesome ways to encourage our 3rd graders to give the extra math a try! @the_Madeleine @Cyndiburnett @art_in_action @StokedLearning #math #creativeteaching @oakdiocese @MadEdTech

@MadSTEAMers @MrsMatthiesen @Ms_GTeixeira @AsterKhurram @21stCenSupKW Splatter HD might be a great app for that! It’s so intuitive and easy to use and the kids are always amazed at how easily they can create beautiful designs. Plus it’s free. #edtech

@AsterKhurram @MrsMatthiesen @MadSTEAMers @21stCenSupKW I love using @GetKahoot to review vocabulary in a fun game environment! #gamification #kahoot

[Michael Stokes @StokedLearning]

It can be so difficult for #ELL students to perform in math solely because of the challenge of reading word problems. What technology/digital tools do you use to help ELL students succeed in math? #Eduscape #iste #edtech @MrsMatthiesen @AsterKhurram @21stCenSupKW @Ms_GTeixeira

[Michael Stokes @StokedLearning]

@MrsMatthiesen @AsterKhurram @mswalwark @MadSTEAMers @21stCenSupKW @MadEdTech Sounds like a great opportunity to have the kids develop spatial reasoning. Make a simple obstacle course or challenge and see if they can develop the steps needed to reach the end! Failure becomes a learning experience as students get a little closer to the end each time.

Day two of @ISTE training is complete! Now it's time to take what we've learned and apply it in the classroom. #ISTE @AsterKhurram @StokedLearning @21stCenSupKW @MadEdTech

[Ms. Teixeira @Ms_GTeixeira]

My Ss @the_Madeleine walked into this "out-of-the-box idea" this morning, put shyness aside, and we all had a blast (and many laughs) w/ this impromptu writing moment. @oakdiocese @Cyndiburnett @FrankIriarte1 #creativity #TeacherLife #writing @21stCenSupKW

[Michael Stokes @StokedLearning]

Excited to start day 2 as part of the first national cohort for the ISTE/NCEA certification! We’re reviewing the latest technology standards and generating ideas to use technology in the classroom. #ISTE #NCEA #EduscapeISTE @21stCenSupKW @NCEATALK @iste

[Michael Stokes @StokedLearning]

What an inspiring start to the new school year that I was able to share with more than a thousand of my colleagues from the @oakdiocese in the beautiful Cathedral of Light. Only 10 more days until students return!

[Michael Stokes @StokedLearning]

And this is why that art component to take it from STEM to STEAM is so important for engaging students, fostering creativity, and encouraging further study!
