@KristenBrooks77 Thank you for hosting!

[Heather Towery @heathertyall]

@KristenBrooks77 A6-I tell students it is their opportunity to show me what they know and what they are capable of doing. I also provide feedback to them as we complete tasks letting them know how much I enjoyed or loved specific components. Praise all the way! #IKESmsedu

@KristenBrooks77 A5-A balanced literacy lesson in which they research a topic that had to do with Fall. They completed a graphic organizer & portions of a group Power Point. They created their slides to reflect their personality and their vision of what represented their shared info. #ikesmsedu

[Heather Towery @heathertyall]

@KristenBrooks77 A4-Providing students with some freedom in what their end product looks like or allowing them to produce an additional supplement of their choosing.

@KristenBrooks77 A3-I like to use FLIP with my students. It works well for my lower students and my higher students. I also like to use Power Point and Sway (which is a favorite of theirs).

[Heather Towery @heathertyall]

@KristenBrooks77 A2-It looks a bit chaotic as students are doing their own thing to get reach the end goal. It can also be messy. I wouldn't have it any other way!

Q1- How do you define creativity in the classroom?

#IKESmsEDU

[Heather Towery @heathertyall]

@KristenBrooks77 A1-I define creativity in the classroom as allowing students to have the freedom to add their own thinking and way of approaching assignments to their day.

I’d like to believe being a Stetson Bennett doubter is the most frustrating and exhausting thing you can be as a fan of football.

All he does is defy the odds and win on the biggest stages. That includes National Championship Games and NFL Combines. #GoDawgs📬

A6- To connect with others around the globe, Microsoft Teams is absolutely the best choice. Students can see and interact with one another! #ikesmsedu

[Heather Towery @heathertyall]

A5- The EdTech tool I have most recently added to my toolbox is Microsoft Teams for virtual field trips with my students. They love being exposed to things they aren’t exposed to on a normal basis. #ikesmsedu

[Heather Towery @heathertyall]

A4- If you struggle connecting an EdTech tool with a standard in your teaching, I recommend you reach out to your teacher peers and ask them to share how they do it, which tool they use, etc.. Teamwork is best! #ikesmsedu
