@TeachArt4Life This is definitely an accurate assessment of the class! I know that change can sometimes definitely be scary, but I think it was good for us to get out of our comfort zone!! #INDT501

[Cassandra Barlow @CassandraBar95]

I am especially excited about everything I found on Pinterest, because there are actually a lot of really good ideas on there that can help make a classroom more inclusive, productive, effective, and engaging #indt501

[Cassandra Barlow @CassandraBar95]

I personally think this is a great class and everything I learned and created will be so helpful in my teaching career. #indt501

[Cassandra Barlow @CassandraBar95]

At first, I did not think this class would be anything difficult. But I quickly learned that I would have to put in a lot of time and effort to do the activities #indt501

[Cassandra Barlow @CassandraBar95]

@TeachArt4Life Assessments are super important, because they do measure learning and check for understanding. It's also important to vary assessments so that the students don't get bored or in a testing rut. Hope you figured out some assessments and created your rubric! #INDT501

[Cassandra Barlow @CassandraBar95]

I did a QR Code to explain students' options for their technological simulation project so that I do not have to take up class time to explain each one. This kind of tech would decrease class time for projects a lot and allow the students to get to work quicker. #INDT501

[Cassandra Barlow @CassandraBar95]

My partner used technology to help show students how best to determine if a source is reliable. This is a really good way to incorporate technology and ensure students' understanding. #INDT501

@jessicamdemers This is a great visual aid to help understand the process, as well as the pros and cons!! Thanks for sharing! #INDT501

Here is the link for my flipped classroom activity!! #indt501 https://t.co/IGd8LWAhip

This is an interesting read on the effect of digital equity #indt501 https://t.co/6Lux2cECrM

[Cassandra Barlow @CassandraBar95]

Blended learning is something I have always associated with problem solving since that is the best way to use it in a math class #indt501

[Cassandra Barlow @CassandraBar95]

Rubrics are definitely daunting, but important to let students know what is expected of them and how they will be graded #indt501

[Cassandra Barlow @CassandraBar95]

Assessments in math are difficult because it's a process-based subject. Projects are important so students see how it is applicable #indt501

[Cassandra Barlow @CassandraBar95]

The planning process for telecollabs is intimidating, but I'm sure is easily perfected with practice #INDT501

[Cassandra Barlow @CassandraBar95]

Global classroom and electronic mentoring sound like good options to incorporate telecollabs into math class, HW, and projects #INDT501

[Cassandra Barlow @CassandraBar95]

Telecollabs are interesting because I had never thought of using them in class. Could be helpful on snow days for group learning. #INDT501

[Cassandra Barlow @CassandraBar95]

Here is an interesting read on the detrimental effects of cyberbullying. #indt501 https://t.co/q9RdJDgYNS

[Cassandra Barlow @CassandraBar95]

@j_yorgason Cyberbullying is a real problem, but schools don't take it as seriously as they should. Awareness and social tolerance are key #indt501

[Cassandra Barlow @CassandraBar95]

I had heard of PBL but had never really done much reading on it, so ch 8 was very informative and helpful for my unit #indt501

[Cassandra Barlow @CassandraBar95]

Problem-based learning is something that I will use in my classes because it is applicable w/math. My final project uses PBL. #indt501
