Yesterday I had the wonderful opportunity to share ideas for creativity in the classroom along with fellow presenters @Ms_GTeixeira and @Madsciencelove to the new teachers of the @oakdiocese. Thank you for the invitation @21stCenSupKW!
My students love the #classcraft random events so much that they combined all their action points to activate five random events at once! Talk about teamwork and collaboration. #edtech#gamification#gamify@classcraftgame @21stCenSupKW
The @Ms_GTeixeira 3rd grade math board is always a great way for the class to learn new math concepts. Examples, essential questions, color, opportunities for collaboration, differentiated questions, and a little humor! #Mathematics
It can be so difficult for #ELL students to perform in math solely because of the challenge of reading word problems. What technology/digital tools do you use to help ELL students succeed in math? #Eduscape#iste#edtech@MrsMatthiesen@AsterKhurram @21stCenSupKW @Ms_GTeixeira
Day two of @ISTE training is complete! Now it's time to take what we've learned and apply it in the classroom. #ISTE@AsterKhurram@StokedLearning @21stCenSupKW @MadEdTech
Excited to start day 2 as part of the first national cohort for the ISTE/NCEA certification! We’re reviewing the latest technology standards and generating ideas to use technology in the classroom. #ISTE#NCEA#EduscapeISTE @21stCenSupKW @NCEATALK @iste
What an inspiring start to the new school year that I was able to share with more than a thousand of my colleagues from the @oakdiocese in the beautiful Cathedral of Light. Only 10 more days until students return!
And this is why that art component to take it from STEM to STEAM is so important for engaging students, fostering creativity, and encouraging further study!
Whether you’re a new teacher or an experienced teacher, you need to take the time to set your classroom culture from day one. Check out this article for helpful questions that you should think about BEFORE that first day. squareheadteachers.com/2014/…
Thank you to @21stCenSupKW for inviting me to speak on #gamification at the Diocese of Oakland’s New Teacher Orientation. What a great chance to meet some new colleagues and share my passion!
