@CatenaPrincipal My own experience plus texts, forums, experienced peers and of course, Tylette.. gotta run guys! Great chat!! #GCUEdchat

@CatenaPrincipal Having students set goals for themselves*. Giving them more choice to focus on what interests them will help them reach their goals. #GCUEdchat

[Jenna Criscuolo @JCris1186]

@CatenaPrincipal Ilike the practice of having students help set goals and then reflect on whether or not they met the goal. If they did not, what can they do to ensure they got theirgoal next time or if they did meet it what did they do that worked? #GCUEdchat

[Jenna Criscuolo @JCris1186]

@CatenaPrincipal It can be both but everyone will benefit from teachers and administrators sharing ideas. Especially if the teachers teach the same subject or have the same students in different classes. #GCUEdchat

[Jenna Criscuolo @JCris1186]

@CatenaPrincipal I think so bc they take the time to interpret students' work, behavior and interests. Reflective teachers will use this information to adapt their lessons and/ or methods for success. #GCUEdchat

[Jenna Criscuolo @JCris1186]

@TyletteMiller @CatenaPrincipal I like that idea because a lot of kids hesitate to admit they don't get something or have questions. The anonymity or privacy definitely combats that. #GCUEdchat

[Jenna Criscuolo @JCris1186]

@CatenaPrincipal A simple, good ol' fashioned summary. "In this lesson we discovered/ analyzed/ learned..." and you could then use it to lead into the next lesson or unit. "Next class we will focus on/ begin/ continue..." #GCUEdchat

[Jenna Criscuolo @JCris1186]

@CatenaPrincipal Or which students are proficient and can move forward #GCUEdchat

[Jenna Criscuolo @JCris1186]

@CatenaPrincipal Google classroom could be used and the students could have 3-5 questions to answer.The teacher can then view the collected data telling him or her exactly which topics need more work and which students need more time with the material #GCUEdchat

[Jenna Criscuolo @JCris1186]

@CatenaPrincipal Students can benefit by having the important information highlighted in the wrap up and also by having the teacher use every minute of instruction productively, limiting down time and distraction #GCUEdchat

[Jenna Criscuolo @JCris1186]

@CatenaPrincipal Closure is how you bring your lesson to an end, summarizing key points. Reflection is used to evaluate your instruction and how wellit is working for students. #GCUEdchat

[Jenna Criscuolo @JCris1186]

@CatenaPrincipal Research but also participate in the same technologies students use.Discussion boards and blogs can be helpfulBy interacting with other teachers and professionals you can get a sense of what is working, what's not, what is new and improved and what to look forward to#GCUEdchat

[Jenna Criscuolo @JCris1186]

@CatenaPrincipal Technology should address and hero move towards goals. It should have a positive impact and influence students to be more active learners. #GCUEdchat

[Jenna Criscuolo @JCris1186]

@CatenaPrincipal Technology presents a variety of ways assessment can be presented and different ways for students to show understanding. It can be very useful to accommodate students with disabilities as well. (Vlogs, podcasts, touch screens, audio recorings, text to speech) #GCUEdchat

[Jenna Criscuolo @JCris1186]

@CatenaPrincipal Teachers should give students suggestions* (geeze Louise)

[Jenna Criscuolo @JCris1186]

@CatenaPrincipal I also think students should give examples and suggestions of sites that students can use when they are home and let them know which sources are acceptable to use for work. Steer them towards the right domains (.gov, .org)

[Jenna Criscuolo @JCris1186]

@CatenaPrincipal YES as long as the game is specifically designed for learning. Even better if the game relates to the topic of focus. Playing these can help students develop new cognitive skills without them even realizing it and be excited to participate when they might not otherwise #GCUEdchat

[Jenna Criscuolo @JCris1186]

@CatenaPrincipal Its allowed in one school I frequently aub at and most of the time it's just a distraction but some students do enjoy listening to music quietly and it seems to help them focus and behave #GCUEdchat
