Watched the great Mrs. Hendry yesterday as she equipped her class with the skills they need to rock the Algebra EOC. Math is awesome! @IHSFrisco, #KnightFlair, #KnightsLearn, and #FriscoFutureReady

Using what I learned from Canva, I made an infographic on the Central Dogma of protein synthesis. I am so excited to share with the team for Biology EOC review. @canva, @jamesthedlc, #KnightFlair, and #FISDmadetoshine.

[ANGELA WHEAT @Wheat_Bio4All]

Just completed the Canva 101 course. Great bit of knowledge here. I can't wait to use it in my classroom! @canva, @jamesthedlc, #KnightFlair, #FISDmadetoshine.

Reciprocal Thinking teaches Ss to make meaning & process information. It helps Ss determine main ideas along with vocabulary, developing ideas and questions, and summarizing information. Access examples, resources, and templates at https://t.co/b7RoIaNxWi! #fisddlc @FriscoISDTech

I like how doodle notes help keep the student's attention when presenting a new topic. @ihsfrisco #KnightFlair, #KnightsLearn, #FISDmadetoshine

[Frisco ISD Tech @FriscoISDTech]

Studies show actively engaging with topics by listening and then summarizing helps Ss better understand & remember. Sketchnoting is a great way to do this! On the 10th Day of Techmas, find examples, resources, and a template to use! https://t.co/b7RoIavWxI #fisddlc @FriscoISDTech

[ANGELA WHEAT @Wheat_Bio4All]

I enjoyed exploring the templates on this topic. @ihsfrisco #KnightFlair, #KnightsLearn, #FISDmadetoshine

[Frisco ISD Tech @FriscoISDTech]

On the 9th day of Techmas, Ss make meaning & show their learning using the strategy Tug of War. Ss will use their communication skills & examine ideas that “tug” on opposing sides. Access examples, resources, and templates at https://t.co/b7RoIaNxWi! #fisddlc @FriscoISDTech

[ANGELA WHEAT @Wheat_Bio4All]

The power of feedback! I love both giving and receiving good feedback. @ihsfrisco #KnightFlair, #KnightsLearn, #FISDmadetoshine

[Frisco ISD Tech @FriscoISDTech]

On the 8th day of Techmas, help students make meaning & showing their process of their learning by providing feedback in a variety of different ways.

Time to pondere, how to adapt to a smaller class size?@ihsfrisco #KnightFlair, #KnightsLearn, #FISDmadetoshine

[Frisco ISD Tech @FriscoISDTech]

Giving Ss ownership of their learning can be a puzzling process. On the 7th day of Techmas we share the Jigsaw method & resources to get this cooperative learning strategy started! Examples, Resources, and Templates available here: https://t.co/b7RoIavWxI! #fisddlc @FriscoISDTech

[ANGELA WHEAT @Wheat_Bio4All]

Science lends itself well to this style of teaching! @ihsfrisco #KnightFlair, #KnightsLearn, #FISDmadetoshine

[Frisco ISD Tech @FriscoISDTech]

Day 6 of Techmas is all about Problem Solving Teaching! Empower students with Future Ready skills by guiding students through content with inquiry based tasks. Examples, Resources, and Templates available here: https://t.co/b7RoIavWxI! #fisddlc @FriscoISDTech

[ANGELA WHEAT @Wheat_Bio4All]

I alway this is a great way for students to visualise connections. @ihsfrisco #KnightFlair, #KnightsLearn, #FISDmadetoshine

[Frisco ISD Tech @FriscoISDTech]

On the 5th day of Techmas, students are utilizing concept mapping to organize their higher level thinking and share their understanding.

[ANGELA WHEAT @Wheat_Bio4All]

@ihsfrisco #KnightFlair, #KnightsLearn, #FISDmadetoshine Can't wait to try these in class to help support new science vocab.

[Frisco ISD Tech @FriscoISDTech]

John Hattie’s research suggests that vocab programs are one of the best surface learning strategies. Check out day 4 of #fisddlc Techmas to grab some examples & templates that will help your Ss learn new vocab better! https://t.co/b7RoIaNxWi
@FriscoISDTech

[Frisco ISD Tech @FriscoISDTech]

On the third day of Techmas, students are self-assessing their work, a strategy with a huge effect size and tons of benefits for students. Details, Examples, Resources, and Templates available here: https://t.co/b7RoIaNxWi! #fisddlc @FriscoISDTech

[Frisco ISD Tech @FriscoISDTech]

Happy second day of Techmas! The hexagonal thinking instructional strategy is a great way to help students make meaning and process information. Find out more about it along with helpful resources at https://t.co/b7RoIaNxWi #fisddlc @FriscoISDTech

[Frisco ISD Tech @FriscoISDTech]

It’s day 1 of the Twelve Days of Techmas! On the first day of Techmas, help Ss make meaning and process info by using digital tools to outline and summarize. Access examples, resources, and ready-to-use templates at https://t.co/b7RoIavWxI! #fisddlc @FriscoISDTech

[ANGELA WHEAT @Wheat_Bio4All]

Today's challenge in my class was preparing for Biology STAAR style of questions. The questions in today's exit ticket made the students apply the knowledge taught this week. Their smiles of success afterwards made my heart shine. @IHSFrisco, #KnightFlair, #FriscoFutureReady

[ANGELA WHEAT @Wheat_Bio4All]

I had the privilege to observe the great Mrs. Edwards and her interactive approach to learning population curves in AP Environmental Systems. I love her desire to keep the content interactive. @IHSFrisco, #KnightFlair, #KnightsLearn, #FISDlearns, #ourFISDstory, #FriscoFutureReady

[ANGELA WHEAT @Wheat_Bio4All]

What do you think is the most important school supply? My students responses included: Backpack, computer, and pencil. @IHSFrisco, #KnightFlair, #KnightsLearn, and #FriscoFutureReady

[ANGELA WHEAT @Wheat_Bio4All]

Expanding my knowledge about Kami. I learned some neat tricks! @IHSFrisco @jamesthedlc @kamiapp #KnightFlair #FISDLearns #FISDmadetoshine.
