mrgeorgehistory Dec 1 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1) keep the Ss moving to the boards, sharing out, presenting. Student-centered with Danielson anyway, so it works! #sstlap

classroomtools Dec 1 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1 Create lessons that require movement. For example, https://t.co/SHCMwyJDXD #sstlap

A1: Gallery walks, hands-on explorations, scavenger hunts, green screen documentary creating, chants and raps with dances. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Dec 1 @ 9:17 PM EST

A1 skits - create videos - movement breaks ss sit way too long- we complain about PD sessions- they have all day PD sessions #sstlap

Mr_Lisek Dec 1 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2: The Kagan collaborative learning strategies get more Ss involved in discussion because every S get to talk in short time frame. #sstlap

A3 have seen Ts use Go-noodle but simply putting natural movement- get into groups- lessons in the hall- change venue etc. #sstlap

A3 If I was still teaching, I'd try more assignments requiring students to find & interview others. #sstlap

Mr_Lisek Dec 1 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3: I have committed to reading 5 books on engagement/movement activities for classroom use. I'm through 3 now. #sstlap

Ryan7Read Dec 1 @ 9:28 PM EST

A4: when in doubt go #Lego #sstlap

cheffernan75 Dec 1 @ 9:28 PM EST

A4 without tech, I would change practices a lot slower. As for Ss, there always a way to engagement - tech alone is not engagement #sstlap

dragonmark_101 Dec 1 @ 9:29 PM EST

I don't have a lot of technology to use. I print a lot of more interesting readings and activities #sstlap

A4 I go back to the days when classroom hi tech involved ditto & mimeograph machines. Still managed engagement. #sstlap

FHS_Anton Dec 1 @ 9:30 PM EST

A4: Sticky notes/note cards and tape offer so much in terms of offering chances to share/collaborate while getting s's moving. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Dec 1 @ 9:31 PM EST

yes great activity- also have ss play expert or role play hist figure or character and show what they know through convo #sstlap

A2: I've done a thing called "Speed Updating" s's share/summarize their thoughts/research/learning, then rotate every minute or so. #sstlap

Mr_Lisek Dec 1 @ 9:31 PM EST

A4: Need to have Ss create more board games to enhance topics and find storage for the "junk" I would save for Ss to build models. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Dec 1 @ 9:32 PM EST

yes sticky notes instead of padlet- or exit ticket - ss share their ideas for all to see - #sstlap

FHS_Anton Dec 1 @ 9:30 PM EST

A4: Sticky notes/note cards and tape offer so much in terms of offering chances to share/collaborate while getting s's moving. #sstlap

STLinOK Dec 1 @ 9:32 PM EST

A4: Former Ss always talk about memories of discussions/mishaps/ interactions. Losing the tech wouldn't change that much, I think #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Dec 1 @ 9:33 PM EST

very cool- like the creation of games- forces critical thinking- not only show knowledge but create interactive activity #sstlap

cheffernan75 Dec 1 @ 9:36 PM EST

A5 a fav lesson is showing Ss all he ways Tokyo deals w/ overpopulation. New idea-have Ss develop their own solutions to the problem #sstlap

dragonmark_101 Dec 1 @ 9:36 PM EST

A5 I use a geographic timeline site so students can see both time and space and dig deeper into what was most interesting to them... #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Dec 1 @ 9:37 PM EST

A5 worksheets- crank up the ditto machine again--absolutley not!! good teaching is about engaging ss to think and do-tech only helps #sstlap

classroomtools Dec 1 @ 9:37 PM EST

Gotta leave early tonight, #sstlap See you next week.

dragonmark_101 Dec 1 @ 9:38 PM EST

A5 ...it would be fun to have them do a similar thing in an atlas. This would be exceptionally fun to do an old school vacation one #sstlap

cheffernan75 Dec 1 @ 9:38 PM EST

I did an activity where Ss annotated a projected image w/ sticky notes. Pink for Qs, yellow for observ #sstlap

In reply to @Mr_Lisek

Braz74 - Moderator Dec 1 @ 9:45 PM EST

answer says YES- #sstlap if you plan right ss do recording while others work on other things

In reply to @cheffernan75, @Mr_Lisek
