I did a thing today that worked well! I modified a Vocabulary Frayer for use with readings. Think thin slides in small groups. Students presented to one another, then answered a question using all info. They will write on the topic next class. #eduprotocols

https://t.co/cSRGErKFos is pretty cool. You can paste a passage into the platform and it simplifies some of the terms. You can then link the scaffolded version of the text into your lessons for students that may need it.

💻 @flippitynet is 1 of my favorite FREE resources 🎉 LOVE the Scavenger Hunt, Name Picker & Board Game 🤩 You can also embed them in #Google Sites! TY @historysandoval for the grouping tutorial! There's so much you can do with the Name Picker 🔗https://t.co/tSjPfM2TEn🔗#edtech

We used @mentimeter to share our feelings about binge-watching before reading a @Newsela article about the topic. Then we created One-Pagers to argue if binge-watching is harmless/harmful! 📺😊📺
