@A1Bodey @Laura15Edwards @Sra_DJGC @ferrisisdjh I’ve found my facilitation is lost to tech trouble shooting and apathy of students to engage in the conversation.

@starrscience @NGSS_tweeps @ASTbigideas From a vertical perspective as a teacher I pick several activities that represent the whole unit. The sum of the row should move us towards the DQ for a learning sequence within that unit. I usually pick 4 driving questions for my unit.

@thephysicsgirl I don’t have another emotion for this than the heart, I love your work, I hate that getting likes requires us to do tag lines like that. Keep up the amazing work!

Feeling good as just found out a Junior at UC Davis still uses her bio notebook. Keep those science notebooks going teachers! #ngss #ngssfresno

[Matthew Carter @carter_m35]

@ngssfresno I think I’m going to make outputs based on the weeks learning sequence / theme, and dedicate a section of a two page spread of the notebook to each day that I’ll model in class / on a whiteboard / on a doc cam. Then the conclusion or the explanation piece will be due Monday

@ngssfresno @ElemSciTchr I think the hard part is balancing time, ability to grade, and access. I am going to try to get to that level of an output, but will start with whiteboard explanations from students I think

Reminder to give our kids grace, and that memorization does not equate intelligence or ability

@LindaTolladay @Roche25 Nice

[Matthew Carter @carter_m35]

@ngssfresno @lisa_bastedo @NGSS_tweeps I would start with having kids make storyboards of simple lab procedures. Next I would start by researching infographics / pamphlets, I’d check out Mike Rhodes sketchnoting, And I’d watch some verbal to visual.

AP Bio kids working on mark recapture to estimate population sizes in a community to then determine diversity using Simpson’s diversity index of an unknown community made by another group. Also baby yoda. https://t.co/FA5DjttYIe

@MissNatalieD It’s a good movie

[Janice Kruse @4jcpkruse]

Thanks @ngssfresno for inspiring me to try a new way of using science notebooks. 5th grade student work(teacher led).

[Matthew Carter @carter_m35]

@Dwight_Carter She still graduated

[Matthew Carter @carter_m35]

@PresidentPat And this is why we whiteboard and sketchnote

@missaaja @Mr_Raichura 👍🏻

@ryerson_mr These are awesome!

[Matthew Carter @carter_m35]

@MrHalander Sounds like a wisdom rather than knowledge issue
