One thing that @Flocabulary is great at is connecting real world concepts with classroom standards. Knowing how learning applies to the outside world can be a huge motivator for students.

I am excited to motivate students. One motivator may be to connect new information to something that my students may already be familiar with. One way to motivate students with technology may be to show a @Flocabulary video about the subject at the beginning of a lesson. #ap3040

In order to provide a variety of different perspectives to my students, I would like to use @ConstitutionCtr and their resources in my classroom. They have hundreds of videos and interviews with experts that could provide many different points of view for my students. #apsu3040

I would use PBL in my classroom by challenging students to create their own government. This could include creating a new political party or an entirely new governing system. This would allow students to think critically about what needs to change in our political system. #ap3040

I am creating a technology toolkit for #ap3040. I'm dropping the link below and I'm very open to feedback!

I like #GoogleClassroom because it is user friendly. It also enables student collaboration whether we are in the classroom or utilizing a distance learning model. This ensures that an interactive classroom environment is created no matter where we are. #ap3040

A1: I orignally found this classroom on pinterest and read more about it in an article by @teamedtopia, I love that it has both flexible seating and table groupings. Giving students the option between the two seems like it would help maximize engagement and comfort. #ap3040
