You will see something like this in the session on authenticity. There are not many videos available. It would be great if we could create some from District 30.

wordle unlimited is a game that you can play by yourself or with others. Compare your guesses and scores with other players and see who is the best at Wordle.

Dana P Dana P (Sep 29 2024 11:53AM) : The rules are easy to understand, and the game is straightforward. [Edited] more

One of the reasons Plinko has stood the test of time is its simplicity. The rules are easy to understand, and the game is straightforward. Contestants are given a disc, which they drop from the top of a large board filled with pegs. As the disc bounces off the pegs, it randomly makes its way down to one of several slots at the bottom, each marked with a different cash value. The goal is to land the disc in the highest value slot, which can be as much as $10,000.

A friend recently introduced me to some fantastic games from Yggdrasil, and I decided to explore more on https://slotscity.com/providers/yggdrasil . The variety and quality of the slots are impressive, offering unique themes and engaging gameplay. I spent a few evenings trying out different games, and each one provided a new and exciting experience.

Bena K Bena K (Nov 29 2021 6:39PM) : I am wondering how we could make sure that teachers start with a plan in order for this to work. I am interested in how you always start with a purpose.

Dec 1

DANIELLE M DANIELLE M (Dec 01 2021 10:04AM) : I was also thinking about the importance of planning . . . especially backwards planning. That is the key to this work.

Arelis F Arelis F (Dec 01 2021 10:02AM) : I love giving my students a voice. It is empowering for them. I need to be able to integrate this more often. I always say I will but time constrictions often don't allow

Ramsha K Ramsha K (Sep 23 2024 4:42AM) : Geometry dash game more

Geometry Dash is often hailed as one of the best games in its genre. Its blend of rhythm-based gameplay, challenging levels, and creative freedom through the level editor makes it a standout.https://geometrydashmx.com/

CARMEN A CARMEN A (Nov 30 2021 10:14AM) : It is so more explicit and clearer for our students when we have the "what" and "how".

Bianca M Bianca M (Dec 01 2021 10:01AM) : I think it's very important for students' to feel pride in their culture and where they come from. It's also important for the class to learn about each student and learn that we are each unique and different in our own way! more

One way we do this at our school is by creating a SS project in the beginning of the year where the students research their culture and share their country with the class. They also share traditions, holidays, recipes, music, etc. Some students also dress up in their culture’s clothing. This makes students very engaged and excited to learn about one another!

Dec 1

Liz L Liz L (Dec 01 2021 7:03PM) : sharing cultures more

That sounds great. Now you might take something you heard today to enhance the project.

Britney P Britney P (Nov 30 2021 10:01AM) : This was my favorite part of the slides for today because we got to see different things and learn how the students can bring in their artifacts and they can discuss similarities and differences.

Nov 30

Nicole G Nicole G (Nov 30 2021 4:04PM) : My school has recently transitioned from TC reading/writing teaching points to explicit learning targets. Sometimes it's been a challenge to be as explicit as possible when the original TC teaching points use very "fluffy" language. more

It was helpful for me to see examples of how to take a learning target and make it as specific as possible

Dec 1

DANIELLE M DANIELLE M (Dec 01 2021 10:05AM) : I would love to see an example of this! We are using TC as well . . . it would be great to see a side by side. How do you incorporate the what and how of the teaching point to explicit learning targets?

Dec 1

Liz L Liz L (Dec 01 2021 7:04PM) : Let's do it. more

If you send me the sample from TC we could work together to create the why and how as a model for others.

Katelynn R Katelynn R (Nov 30 2021 10:02AM) : The explicit learning targets are much more clear and useful. The challenge for me would be to modify the learning targets for students with IEPs. They need the explicitness combined with language they can understand.

Dec 1

Liz L Liz L (Dec 01 2021 7:05PM) : try it more

If you would like to send me some, I can give you feedback if that would be helpful.

Nov 30

Britney P Britney P (Nov 30 2021 10:14AM) : I am a new teacher and in my school we have been doing this for a while and the learning target we do the "what" and the "how" and I love this so much because I get to see the student break down the learning target.

Nov 30

Kleanthie L Kleanthie L (Nov 30 2021 10:15AM) : This made me reflect on how learning targets are written and shared with students. This is important because it shows the what and how. It provides clear expectations as to what students have to complete in this task. more

The expectations are clear as to how students will complete the task.

Explicit Learning Targets 0

Nov 30

Denisse R Denisse R (Nov 30 2021 9:59AM) : I think this slide made me reflect on how I write my own learning targets and I began thinking about how explicit they are.

Dec 1

Samantha P Samantha P (Dec 01 2021 9:58AM) : I really enjoy the comparison of the learning targets versus the explicit learning targets. It is important for students to be given that extra element of HOW to develop the topic, use linking words, etc.

kristine L kristine L (Dec 01 2021 10:05AM) : It's important to give a why and I like the examples of linking words in the learning target

I look forward to hearing about how you implement some of this and how students respond.

Dec 1

Ben E Ben E (Dec 01 2021 10:04AM) : This makes me realize that while I am doing some of this, I am not doing this as much as I can. I am going to make sure I plan co-created lessons and give students more voice in developing their own learning.

Dec 1

Liz L Liz L (Dec 01 2021 7:07PM) : take small steps more

The key is to look at where you are in the process and take steps to become more student-centered and explicit. One step at a time is fine.

Dec 1

kristine L kristine L (Dec 01 2021 9:58AM) : It is very clear the importance of including the how in the learning targets

Dec 1

Ben E Ben E (Dec 01 2021 10:04AM) : I agree this would be great for ENL students, and we could even provide a word bank for the Entering students to use.
