Question for teachers: How do you use the activities and resources from Wide Open School in your digital and physical classroom?
Have you used the virtual field trips and if so, how was your experience with it?
Hi everyone! I reviewed Common Sense Wide Open School as an edTT! I really enjoyed browsing through the different subject matters and looking for specific grade level activities. #EDUC331
@Bigler_Michelle Q4: Access and Adaptabily are important for a website because if your website isn't inviting and user friendly then the public will not feel invited to interact with it. It also may not relay the message that you want it to either.
@Bigler_Michelle A3: Right now I have a white background so that it seems inviting and I plan to add pops of color through images and text color as I further develop my ePortfolio.
@Bigler_Michelle A2: My website is easy to navigate as I have made the menu bar at the top easy to navigate as well as making all the pages organized and straightforward.
@Bigler_Michelle A1: I think that layout will enhance my ePortfolio because so far in my website I have made all the pages and design elements of the website appealing to the eye and very organized. I did this because it also helps me by staying neat and organized.
@Katybelle610 Hi Katy! I think that in this situation you may need to create adaptations in your lesson that accommodate for the children who finish fast and those who take a little more time. Some ways that you could do this is having expansion activities for those who finish early!
@HannaBowman11 I think that @JaydeWith and @KeonJulia have great ideas for engaging transitions. Another transition would be to find a fun timer online that is engaging and a visual reminder for all the children.
@TeacherAnna23 Hi Anna, in my practicum classroom this semester the teacher uses GoNoodle as a transition and when the children just need a quick break from learning. The children love doing the dances and truly have fun. It also has dances and songs in different languages!
@KeonJulia I love this quote! We definitely need to let our children fail sometimes to truly let them learn and grow! Embrace the failures to grow! #pstpln#EDUC331
In my Literacy and the Learner course this morning, we learned how to teach and promote effective listening. Without effective listening, we can't learn. #celebratemonday#pstpln#EDUC331
Hi everyone! My name is Madi Knutson and I am in the ECE program at Colorado State University. I am hoping to find new tools and strategies that I can use in the future as an educator! #pstpln#EDUC331
