@DRich0696 Naming standards are a MUST for organization. #ankedchat

JenHoulette May 26 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A2: We used a lot of Google apps this year, plus Padlet, MoveNote, and some others. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator May 26 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@heather_edtech That's one thing I need to continue to improve. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator May 26 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@DRich0696 @heather_edtech 1:1 will help that tremendously... #ankedchat

Q4: What was the best behavior management strategy you used this year? #ankedchat

BarefQQt May 26 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A2: We love using Thinglink to showcase a collection of work or to present research. #ankedchat

LinesScience May 26 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A3 instructional practice, this might be a stretch. Getting ss to JUSTIFY their scores and what they know! They grades themselves #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator May 26 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A4: Not really a strategy, but not assuming a HS student "should know" - expectations have to be spoken and practiced. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator May 26 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A4: Musical cues to indicate beg of class, middle of class, end of class reflection. #ankedchat

A4 best behavior management I have ever used takes time but building those 1:1 relationships w/ Ss has helped tremendously #ankedchat

mrevansclass May 26 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A4: @BrianMendler idea of "getting in their ear" -- whispering compliments or redirections and walking away after a "thank you" #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator May 26 @ 10:28 PM EDT

@LinesScience yes! I tried a piece of this - just marked the papers, no grades. Ss had to reflect on their work. #ankedchat

BarefQQt May 26 @ 10:28 PM EDT

A4: Using more choice has been helpful. Motivation and choice = less behaviors to manage. #ankedchat

MrLisekRPSA May 26 @ 10:28 PM EDT
