sandeeteach Mar 31 @ 10:05 PM EDT

@ARutschke Me too Angela! Good to see you! #ditchbook

mdoran2067 Mar 31 @ 10:05 PM EDT

A1. Vocab is critical for academic background and content mastery. It has to be connected and meaningful for Ss #DitchBook

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:05 PM EDT

@sandeeteach What do you think makes vocab "stick" #DitchBook

ARutschke Mar 31 @ 10:05 PM EDT

@haumpys video, audio, role playing, simulations, experiments, any tech integration could #ditchbook!

storiestoldinsf Mar 31 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: I think our Ss are changing, and our instruction needs to adapt! #DitchBook

ktofflem Mar 31 @ 10:06 PM EDT

@sandeeteach Great minds... #DitchBook

TTmomTT - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: because vocab can suck on it's own. My 7th grade son was assigned 65 vocab, 4 parts to each word. #gross #DitchBook

emosier3 Mar 31 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: I think vocabulary often becomes a boring, monotonous task. If you can ditch regular methods, Ss are more likely to learn it! #DitchBook

SEANJFAHEY Mar 31 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1 because to me learning vocab was BORING!!! Teaching creative will make Ss more interested...I think? #DitchBook

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:06 PM EDT

Ouch, @TTmomTT. I hear that. I still think I have nightmares about vocab instruction from my childhood. #DitchBook

ARutschke Mar 31 @ 10:07 PM EDT

@SEANJFAHEY glad I can be here too! #DitchBook

dr_riina Mar 31 @ 10:07 PM EDT

#DitchBook Vocab is a struggle for me, but I try to use the vocab I want them to learn constantly.

EduDanceInspire Mar 31 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1 Engaging & creative instruction helps Ss remember the vocab easily #DitchBook

ktylercuesd Mar 31 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1. Our students lack academic and career needed vocabulary and need practice using it in writing and speaking! #ditchbook

JoyousScience Mar 31 @ 10:07 PM EDT

@TTmomTT That's an astonishingly bad assignment. I'm appalled on his behalf. #DitchBook

SEANJFAHEY Mar 31 @ 10:08 PM EDT

Look up the word in an old dusty dictionary & write the def, then use it in a sentence is NOT effective #DitchBook https://t.co/dC2Eu6wDFf

Jumping in a bit late! Katie, 7/8 gr title 1 teacher, Indiana. #DitchBook

ktylercuesd Mar 31 @ 10:08 PM EDT

@SEANJFAHEY SO boring. Classes need to be setup so students can ask questions and experience the vocab generically. #ditchbook

kmartintahoe Mar 31 @ 10:08 PM EDT

A1:make it fun-adding games into vocal instruction helps with retention #DitchBook

emosier3 Mar 31 @ 10:09 PM EDT

@SEANJFAHEY Without a doubt!!! I alwasy despised the "T-Chart" method of vocabulary... Yuck! #DitchBook

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:09 PM EDT

.@MistyMitchellm Great point. Vocab is an important skill to master in all career paths! #DitchBook

leadlaughlearn - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:09 PM EDT

A1 I want to teach everything creatively! I get bored too easily, and I only have to be in my own classroom! I know Ss get bored! #DitchBook

JoyousScience Mar 31 @ 10:09 PM EDT

"Look up word in the glossary. Copy the definition" is a GREAT assignment, if you don't care about engagement, or....learning. #ditchbook

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:10 PM EDT

Q2 Great points! Now, let's look at our own best practices #ditchbook https://t.co/Npf9XxjM7S

ktylercuesd Mar 31 @ 10:10 PM EDT

embrace the tech for vocab! Google images, videos, audio feature to hear how it's said, as they encounter it in text NOT lists #ditchbook

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:10 PM EDT

.@leadlaughlearn Great point! imagine teaching the same vocab words for 40 years doing simple drills. Ugh! #DitchBook

dr_riina Mar 31 @ 10:10 PM EDT

Giving students words & asking them to investigate the various meanings has been pretty effective for me #DitchBook

SEANJFAHEY Mar 31 @ 10:10 PM EDT

Side Q: What actually makes creative Vocab instruction? #DitchBook

kmartintahoe Mar 31 @ 10:10 PM EDT

@SEANJFAHEY @emosier3 Marzanos vocab instruction method says that you should use a common lang def. Describe what words mean #DitchBook

sandeeteach Mar 31 @ 10:10 PM EDT

#DitchBook practicing science vocabulary https://t.co/UggjtuNLD6

ARutschke Mar 31 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1: Vocab is often taught with little relevance. Creative teaching helps make it more engaging, memorable & relevant to Ss. #DitchBook

KarlyMoura - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Woot woot!! Super excited to have you in #Ditchbook Kelly! https://t.co/mPNKtI4kcP

Kelly from Lake Tahoe, ca. Ed tech & curriculum coordinator #DitchBook

tplivinthedream Mar 31 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1) in the Social studies classroom students need to experience the meaning of the word to understand it! #ditchbook

SEANJFAHEY Mar 31 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Gotta love Marzano! #DitchBook https://t.co/xtV6bMYaX0

kmartintahoe Mar 31 @ 10:10 PM EDT

@SEANJFAHEY @emosier3 Marzanos vocab instruction method says that you should use a common lang def. Describe what words mean #DitchBook

EduDanceInspire Mar 31 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Yes! “key to understanding the world” and it provokes Ss in to having the language to explain it! #DitchBook https://t.co/2vkimQ0TFo

MistyMitchellm Mar 31 @ 10:08 PM EDT

A1: vocabulary is the key to understanding the world. Knowledge of Content area vocabulary leads to a career many times in life.#ditchbook

TTmomTT - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@ktylercuesd I love having Ss listen to the word. It's what I do when I'm not sure about a pronunciation. #DitchBook

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:11 PM EDT

.@SEANJFAHEY To me it's a combo of different approaches - role play, PBL, interactive fiction, etc. #DitchBook

kmartintahoe Mar 31 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@KarlyMoura always excited when I can pop in! #ditchbook

storiestoldinsf Mar 31 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A2: Incorporating movement! We figure out a unique movement for each word in unit of study and rehearse a lot! #DitchBook

ktofflem Mar 31 @ 10:12 PM EDT

#DitchBook A2 I think using visual, movement, auditory...all the senses works well

ktylercuesd Mar 31 @ 10:12 PM EDT

Sometimes vocabulary just needs to be taught before you go over primary sources, how do you do this? #ditchbook

JoyousScience Mar 31 @ 10:12 PM EDT

Vocab. should flow naturally from the learning already taking place, not a separate entity. #ditchbook

dr_riina Mar 31 @ 10:12 PM EDT

Devil's advocate: some kids need to write things down to remember them. I do & that includes vocab. Every tool has a place. #DitchBook

MistyMitchellm Mar 31 @ 10:12 PM EDT

I think when you make Ss interact w/ & use voc. Ur getting creative. (Not write sentences w/word though)😡 #ditchbook https://t.co/AzNtOa1m62

golliharsclass Mar 31 @ 10:13 PM EDT

#DitchBook A1: make the vocabulary connect to what Ss are DOING. Keep it in context & use it often over use it. @golliharsclass from Texas

Lisa from Cincinnati, 6th grade, first chat #Ditchbook

EduDanceInspire Mar 31 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A2 Depending on the subject, Vocab instruction should include media and examples of what the word IS, as well as, what it is NOT! #DitchBook

KarlyMoura - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:13 PM EDT

Definitely! Helps to reach all types of learners! =) #DitchBook https://t.co/n9MeKw1k7k

@LKEdwards94 Welcome! Just hop in #DitchBook

JoyousScience Mar 31 @ 10:14 PM EDT

I don't see a problem with writing word meaning, but it should be the one of the LAST things Ss do, not the first. #ditchbook

KarinHogen Mar 31 @ 10:14 PM EDT

I use @DocentEDU to embed vocab from @quizlet then highlight, comment, and have Ss do same in any online text. #DitchBook

haumpys Mar 31 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@ARutschke thanks! I'm a 9th grade biology teacher, feel like I have gone away from text books most days,looking for more ideas:) #ditchbook

JimSarto Mar 31 @ 10:14 PM EDT

#ditchbook Instruction on the relevance of why it's important

SEANJFAHEY Mar 31 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A2 to me innovative vocab strategies is not shoving the words down Ss throats. Ss experience the word in many contexts No Quizzes #DitchBook

mdoran2067 Mar 31 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A2. Also, have Ss create pictowords work for both academic vocab and content vocab. #DitchBook https://t.co/sDNN0RXRkO

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:15 PM EDT

.@storiestoldinsf In theatre, we call this psychological gesture. Have you heard of it? #DitchBook

TTmomTT - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A2: In math, many times we can take pics or use CC iages of vocab words and create image boards. #DitchBook

dr_riina Mar 31 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@ktylercuesd Great ?. Not sure anyone really has an answer. We tier words, but every teacher disagrees. #ditchbook

golliharsclass Mar 31 @ 10:16 PM EDT

#DitchBook A1: have Ss create their own vocabulary lists. Let them find words they need to learn and integrate with words they NEED to know

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:16 PM EDT

.@jchristie23 @mdoran2067 That's awesome! Great strategy! #DitchBook

SEANJFAHEY Mar 31 @ 10:47 PM EDT

This is a great Question #DitchBook https://t.co/qMoxG1J9Zw

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:47 PM EDT

Q7 As instruction changes, so must assessment. #DitchBook https://t.co/zXrKhk4psa

ktofflem Mar 31 @ 10:48 PM EDT

#ditchbook A7 as students demonstrate their understanding through drawing, acting, verbally that's good for me

littlemacf650 Mar 31 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A7=Presenting in front of peers looking at writing online in Docs and such. I need more ideas cause that was pathetic. #DitchBook

TTmomTT - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A7: I rarely assess vocab on tests. I teach and give feedback on vocab through conversation. #DitchBook

dr_riina Mar 31 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@SingerTeach Yes & terms related to MO standards like irony or hyperbole. We tier words & focus on tier 1 & 2. When we agree... #DitchBook

storiestoldinsf Mar 31 @ 10:49 PM EDT

A7: Definitely through convos and talk, Ss finding the words in the world and sharing, through writing #DitchBook

A7: Create, create, research, and write. Use in context! Make info graphs! Debate! #DitchBook

KarlyMoura - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:49 PM EDT

A7 Use content vocab in context. Math (number) talks, science talks, class discussions. #DitchBook

emosier3 Mar 31 @ 10:49 PM EDT

Sorry to run #ditchbook, daddy duties are calling. Thanks for moderating a great chat @SingerTeach Fun as always! See everyone next week!

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:49 PM EDT

A7: To me, it's creation and #stuvoice. It needs to be rooted in a rubric that was created by Ts and Ss. #ditchbook https://t.co/sjKYeuZJ9W

littlemacf650 Mar 31 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@TTmomTT I do assess through testing, I guess cause I don't know what else to use...I need to change that. #DitchBook

AHSblaz Mar 31 @ 10:49 PM EDT

#DitchBook A6 have Ss generate list of vocab they want. KWL format, then have them incorporate in project. Need performance assess, tho

JoyousScience Mar 31 @ 10:50 PM EDT

Good night, all. Fading fast: state testing yesterday and the day before. :-( #DitchBook

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:50 PM EDT

Q7: Ss create their own proposals for pbl that showcases vocab mastery. Ts guide Ss with proposal, process, and product. #DitchBook

littlemacf650 Mar 31 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@AHSblaz yes, projects and presentations #DitchBook

KarlyMoura - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:51 PM EDT

jchristie23 Mar 31 @ 10:51 PM EDT

I have Ss create the word wall. They choose the words and when they find them 10 times in their own books we get a dance party #DitchBook

dr_riina Mar 31 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@littlemacf650 @TTmomTT Ditto #DitchBook

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:52 PM EDT

.@littlemacf650 @TTmomTT Have you ever had Ss suggest the end assessment as class or individually? #DitchBook

SEANJFAHEY Mar 31 @ 10:52 PM EDT

Always make time for dance parties! #DitchBook https://t.co/3ishwV2H4T

@dr_riina @TTmomTT Sometimes it's hard to admit I still do things the old fashioned way. #DitchBook

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@storiestoldinsf Awesome points! You're such a #ditchbook rockstar tonight!

ktylercuesd Mar 31 @ 10:53 PM EDT

@jchristie23 what about a class website with a student made word wall?! #DitchBook

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:53 PM EDT

.@dr_riina Have you thought about Ss creating dictionaries, pres., videos, etc. teaching terms? #DitchBook

MrsTMercer Mar 31 @ 10:53 PM EDT

A6 have kids create their own vocab books with @BookCreatorApp with pics and links. Make vocab personal. Late to the chat #DitchBook

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:53 PM EDT

.@TTmomTT In a digital world, Ss are hungry for 1 on 1 teacher connection! #DitchBook

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:54 PM EDT

Q8 Ts, like Ss, need to reflect. It's time to think about all the amazing things we learned tonight. #DitchBook https://t.co/MXeaxNuLro

littlemacf650 Mar 31 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@SingerTeach @TTmomTT hmmmmm no, I haven't interesting. I don't know if they would know what to suggest...I'll try it #DitchBook

SEANJFAHEY Mar 31 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@KarlyMoura @padlet you organized it all though #DitchBook https://t.co/TEfLPMfzec

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:54 PM EDT

.@littlemacf650 Love to talk about it further with you. Think about other #DitchBook style proj. you have done. Do it vocab style!

dr_riina Mar 31 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@SingerTeach Great ideas. Have done all occasionally but its scattershot.Need more consistency to c real gains. Struggle is real #DitchBook

KarlyMoura - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@SEANJFAHEY @padlet It did ALL start with #ditchbook w/ #hyperdocs and grew to so much more!

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:55 PM EDT

.@ktofflem I LOVE this. #DitchBook Is this formative, summative, or both?

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:55 PM EDT

.@jchristie23 Print books, ebooks, or internet resources? #DitchBook

KarlyMoura - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:56 PM EDT

SEANJFAHEY Mar 31 @ 10:57 PM EDT

My take away: I need to learn more how to make Vocab an important part of Ss learning & do it #DitchBook worthy I ain't no ELA Teacher

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:57 PM EDT

.@dr_riina I hear ya! #DitchBook
