Flipped learning can better meet needs of students. Something is lost when there are questions on homework but have to wait to ask and get a response. Flipping the classroom enable students to immediately get the help that they need with the homework! #pennlit15#flippedlearning
@RMyers0613 #PennLit15 One way that I get around this is making sure that they know I can see exactly what they contribute. If you call out a couple of students but pulling up their presentation, word gets around fast. Not that you should have to do this, but it does work.
#PennLit15 I agree with this. I often use it for collaborative projects and students no longer have the ability to say that they cannot work at any given moment.
#PennLit15 I agree with the ideas the tech can be a great tool for students to creatively demonstrate their knowledge. I also agree with the idea that whole tech can be awesome, using it just for the sake of using it is not beneficial for anyone.
Technology should be used where it is appropriate to enhance student learning. It should not be thrown into a lesson only for technology's sake. #pennlit15
@jmcusano#Pennlit15 think just involvement in class and how they are participating. Conversation is one of the keys that I look for. They are also contributing to the task at hand.
I think for me effective engagement is that students are personally interacting with the material. Can take many forms, but being personally connected to content is key #PennLit15
@jmcusano Effective engagement means the students are connected to and invested in their own learning. It’s what we strive for each day in the classroom. #PennLit15
Biology terms can be SUPER confusing, so I'm always looking for new ways to review terms with my students. Thanks to @kellyeye9 for the inspiration to my genetics terms board game review! #biologyteacher#scienceteacher#vocabreview
