@MrsAveryBarton Ooooh, I love this idea! I’d love to hear more! Do students have to complete a specific amount of work? Are game Wednesdays content based? Thanks!
@mmarotta@spencerideas@csheil I want to try the Tiny House Challenge with sixth grade. 240 square feet of space with $15,000: research/plan/create! Students are limited to duct tape, cardboard, paper, and Popsicle sticks. @spencerideas says,"Be sure to experiment and make tons of glorious mistakes!" #gafefsu
@mmarotta@csheil A1: As a math teacher, I teach so many concepts students never see outside of the class. When they can relate their learning to every day life through authentic learning opportunities, the classroom can look like real life. #gafefsu
@mmarotta@csheil A3: @spencerideas writes, "When students create work for an authentic audience, it feels more relevant." Student learning becomes authentic - they work harder and become more empathetic. They work for something/someone important to them. #gafefsu
Yes! All of this! Organization in an online classroom is vital. Students need know where to find everything, including due dates, it needs to be easily accessible. And we need to be available for them! #gafefsu
📌Just add hyperlinks and essential questions to accompany the info on the links and you are good to go. Hope this helps someone #erhstweets@cnusd https://t.co/wDbuu3hwEf
@mmarotta@spencerideas@csheil Without technology, many of my students may not be able to go to school for a variety of reasons. I also agree with @LabellePete, it’s about moderation. Technology is not a substitute for every day interactions. #gafefsu
@csheil Something to keep in mind with the visual cues of thumbs up/down: depending on the program you’re using and if screen sharing, you may not be able to see all participants. Many programs have options so students can do a virtual “thumbs up”. 👍🏻
Excited to use Kami with my 6th graders. It turns any document into digital pen and paper! It is a great tool for online work. https://t.co/sGDXyyPCu7 #gafefsu
@MmeCarbonneau@EileenWalvoord@edpuzzle@FluentKey@PearDeck I teach at a virtual school and we have used @zoom for our live classes. Students need to be taught that it’s just like a regular classroom because we all can’t be heard. Zoom has a raise your hand feature. Set expectations for them and stick to them. 👍🏻
I am a huge fan of @quizizz, especially the reports feature! I can easily see who completed the hw game as well as narrow it down to frequently missed questions! Students love playing live and as an assignment! #gafefsu
Every live game or assigned homework game you hosted is available under reports. 📊✅
Pro Tip: Use the sort and filter options to analyze multiple attempts within a quiz.
