My youth was somewhat similar to many of our students. I have been able to find common ground with many of them with similar life experiences. This has given me a “foot in the door”, so to speak. Being relatable has let the students see me as not just another barrier to their goals in life. It is not always easy to be vulnerable to the students, but the positives have definitely outweighed the challenge to me.

I love Kahoots! The students are always excited by them

I haven’t played around with pear deck yet. I should dive into that next.

I explored Kahoot, an interactive tool for creating quizzes, polls, and discussions that engage students and assess prior knowledge. On its website, I learned about its customizable quizzes and real-time feedback features, and research revealed that teachers commonly use Kahoot for pre-assessments and identifying misconceptions. I plan to use Kahoot in my science class by creating a prior knowledge quiz for an upcoming unit, such as Newton’s Laws. After students complete the quiz, I’ll share the class results to highlight strengths and weaknesses, encouraging students to analyze their performance, set goals, and track progress, fostering data-driven learning.

Those sound just perfect for skill development!

For the Tach station – Online Phet simulations to allow the students to manipulate the concepts just learned through instruction

The stations will allow the students to always know ther job for that day. It will help them wrap their head around the activities. It will also increase the soft skills that are so lacking after the covid years.

I have used a rotation of direct instruction, collective problem solving, individual problem solving, and group inquiry labs to develop concepts for each small unit.

Collective problem solving. Then Jigsawing with other groups

Transistioning from a traditional in person teacher to one in a hybrid world has been a tough trick for this old dog to learn. These might give a great entree into effective asynchromous learning.

That is a great template. It would be pretty straightforward to incorporate existing activities into a now modality

Part 2: Share a favorite hyperdoc or playlist you found! Share why you are drawn to it, how you might use it, and why it will be useful for your students!

This can be a great way to incorporate the hyperdoc idea into our hybrid classrooms. Some of the activities are great for in person, while others work well with the asynchronous day

in reply to: Playlist Concerns #3410

oops – that was for choice boards. For playlists I am concerned with the students procrastinating and turning in everything last minute. Our district policies make this even more of a concern as deadlines are extremely soft.

in reply to: Playlist Concerns #3409

I am concerned that students will game the system to do the bare minimum, choosing the activities that will facilitate cheating and work duplication
