Technology can close the homework gap if Ss are provided with devices that they can use in school and take home. Many Ss are not able to complete HW at home because they don’t have computers or WiFi. Schools with an 1:1 initiative can close this gap. @kemnitzer3
The benefits of being 1:1 with technology in the classroom. Students can read Graphic Novel ebooks online and jot about their reading on Padlet #engagingmolloy @kemnitzer3
Google Forms is a great way to use technology to give assessments in the classroom. Much more engaging than a paper test. It can even grade assessments for you. #engagingmolloy @kemnitzer3
My school’s brand would be Exceeding Expectations. My principal really believes in this for Ts and Ss. Ts should be creating rigorous lessons that are challenging. Ss should embrace the challenge. Parents would agree that the school should be exceeding expectations. @kemnitzer3
@kemnitzer3 @DrBillBrennan Twitter is a great tool for us to learn and ask questions. Twitter allows us to learn from experts or those who are knowledgeable about topics we are interested in
Social media can create online communities where we can ask questions and get support. This is especially for teachers who are feeling lost or burnt out @kemnitzer3 @DrBillBrennan
@dtapscott video on Murmuration was an interesting video. These Sterling birds work in collaboration to reach a common goal such as warmth and protection. Teachers can collaborate if they are all trying to reach the same goal such as mastery on a regents. @kemnitzer3
Also @dtapscott discusses how the birds constantly change leadership of the group depending on strength. This can apply to teaching as well. Teachers should take turns taking leadership in their groups or grade levels. It should not always fall on just one teacher. @kemnitzer3
#CharacterInCurriculum This is something that I implement in my classroom on a daily basis! Make sure to remind your students that they are appreciated.
