@LaurenAngelone An example of blended learning that I have observed is having a literature circle in class. Students complete a reading before class and meet in groups to discuss what they read during class time. #xuedchat
@carsonskidmore_ @LaurenAngelone I have never been in a class where we were able to choose how we presented our final but I feel like the students probably really appreciated having that choice. I really like this idea! #xuedchat
@LaurenAngelone An example of blended learning I have observed is having literature circles in class. You read a passage or section of a book ahead of time and then come to class and discuss what you read. #xuedchat
@colb924@carlyxavier28 @LaurenAngelone I agree with what your point Caroline, students are definitely more inclined to be involved in their learning when the topic directly effects them or their community in a big way. #xuedchat
@LaurenAngelone Our lesson plan centers around habitats at the Cincinnati Zoo, specifically the penguin enclosure. These animals are endangered so I think it is important for students to learn how choices we all make can effect these animals and how we can better their lives in captivity
@annissa_conway I chose each student having an individual technology device because I feel like it is more useful when students can take it home and do class work. It would also be easier to make sure that each individual students learning needs are being met with helpful applications #xuedchat
To continue the tradition, I wanted to share my latest book #BecauseOfATeacher with two of the people it was dedicated to, Georgia and Kallea!
Thanks to the wonderful contributors who made this process so special!

@carlyxavier28 @LaurenAngelone I think that the videoconferencing tool sounds like a great idea! I feel like in America we have a very standard idea of what school should look like and how it should operate. This would give students a first hand look into other ways of learning.
@LaurenAngelone A1: I really love the idea of having my future class participate in an online literature circle with international students. Having students read books from other countries or even reading American books and talking about them with children who have live differently would be fun!
@colb924 @LaurenAngelone Hi Caroline, I agree! I am taking Children’s Literature right now and we have also talked about online lit circles within the country or internationally. Seems like a super fun way to get students more culturally aware at a young age.
That need to be explored when educating students on certain subjects ie. drugs, sexual education, that students are unable to access through their school technology. #xuedchat 2/
As many others have stated, I think that a big takeaway from listening to this podcast is the damage that filtering sites and information which students can find can actually hinder parts of their learning experience. There are some topics #xuedchat 1/
A critical literacy practice which is important to implement in the classroom is protecting and promoting the rights of individuals who identify as LGBTQ+.
“By intentionally asking questions about human rights regarding diverse genders and sexualities, teachers can take a position that encourages students to recognize the rights of people who identify as LGBTQ+” #xuedchat
