This week I used my 2 favorite #emc2learning resources. Coin crasher for getting my Ss to do tons of math questions as they have fun with stocks. And my Ss always enjoy Sundown showdown. It’s a great week long activity to do after reading a novel.

Best way to keep my Ss engaged on a Friday is have one of them be kidnapped by pirates & have them complete a #emc2learning #qrbreakin to save him. As a class they had to complete 24 activities in 1 hr to save him. They did it & were very excited!

My grade 8 Ss cheered when I told them they were doing the #eduprotocols Worst Preso Ever assignment. Every year the Ss have fun doing this and it’s a great way to teach them how to do a proper presentation.

A fun @gimkit I like to do with my Ss is 3 truths and 1 lie. We use kit collab to have each student submit a question about themselves to make the kit. Then we play the kit and Ss learn lots about their classmates😊

I completed the skill builder course on group work from #emc2learning I love the power of working in groups in my year long gamified class, but now I’m thinking about how to use long term groups in my class that isn’t gamified.

I completed a #emc2learning skill builder course about Chat GPT today. I especially enjoyed the bells and whistles lesson, great ideas in there! I look forward to using these ideas in my classroom and doing the other Chat GPT courses.

I’ve been doing Grammar Olympics this week with my Ss. The final event is #eduprotocols random emoji paragraph relay. All Ss write for the emoji, then pass their computers & continue with the next emoji. There were lots of laughs reading each other’s stories!

#emc2learning Big Sheet Track Meet is a fun way to review concepts. It gets students up and moving and they learn a lot from creating the questions.

I love #EMC2learning Pillar Builder activity for practicing thesis statements. My Ss are engaged all class writing thesis statements so they can build a temple. And of course the tallest one falls seconds before the buzzer, which makes another team very happy!

I used #EMC2learning resource AI Artwork Anarchy today and the Ss had so much fun! They used a website to turn their drawings into artwork. They asked if they could do it again right away.

Of course I need to change my lesson plan when a new @gimkit mode comes out and try it out. We didn’t escape but my students look forward to trying again!

šŸš€ Introducing ONE WAY OUT, our latest game mode! Students navigate through a spaceship overrun by evil plants. Together they will have to defeat enemies, collect gear, unlock gates, and avoid traps! Work together to find the one way out. It's not easy, but you can do it!
