@AskATechTeacher #mti563 A3 cont. ...about the meaning of the static words on the page. When they can envision their ideas, it's an effective tool. Here's an example.

@AskATechTeacher #mti563 A3 cont. For this to be an effective tool, Ss must be able to explain their choices. They learn that there is no "right" way to present a scene. It's a matter of acting and directorial choices that create t finished product. I like it because Ss will debate each other...

@AskATechTeacher #mit563 A3: I reviewed "Staging It" off https://t.co/XUHDLjptJX. This game allows Ss to direct a scene by choosing from four different videos of the same lines. The game and all resources on the website are free, there are no ads and no sign-up is required.

@CoachTG2 Great idea to let parents play. I should open up Beat the Bard during conferences.

@AskATechTeacher #mti563 A2: Since I haven't used games in class aside from Kahoot and Shakespeare scene-builder, I have had not RX from Ps. If I were to use something like Breakout, I would tout the research necessary to find answers and the abstract thinking they have to do as well.

@mccall1ja #mti563 When you do labs in class, is there room for variation? I imagine with inexperienced students you would want a fairly controlled environment.

@AskATechTeacher #MTI563 A1 Gms/Sims, esp when there is no concrete answer, force
Ss to think abstractly. Abstraction - envisioning something that doesn't yet exist - allows them to see possibilities and not to limit themselves. There is value to rote, but best when combine with other stratgies.

#MTI563 Hi all,
Is there a way to get the gifs to stop moving? I'm getting dizzy.

[Ann Downey @downeyak]

#MTI563 I'm trying again. I don't know why mine didn't move. Sometimes, I feel like this.
