@MrsMorganDaley I went to #gafesummit in KC a few months ago. Loved it! Can't wait for the next one in the fall. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 18 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Q3: What is the most successful game you’ve tried this year? Could be for instruction, review, or fun! Describe it for us! #scitlap

SueAtSea May 18 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@lndeutsch @msjlura No wonder I am having trouble keeping up! #scitlap

MrsMorganDaley May 18 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@SueAtSea @lisaomeeks read it :) it is awesome! #scitlap

A3: A game called 'Kaboom' - point cards, special cards (double or nothing, make a bet), & Kaboom cards. Kaboom makes... #scitlap

BroCstart May 18 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@Partain_Science a S explored the idea of micro-black holes by hypothetically dropping one in Canada... sorry about that. #scitlap

smarterteacher May 18 @ 9:21 PM EDT

I am moving from Honors Chem to Honors Bio for next year. Need to create Flipped Class for the fall. #scitlap https://t.co/vZODP1E9mx

pentaclethra May 18 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3 Tried Quizlet Live for the first time this week. The kids loved it! #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell May 18 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: (cont'd) Ss lose all points. Use any sort of content/questions/vocabulary for practice. #scitlap

SueAtSea May 18 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3 Quizlet Live! Awesome! Kahoot a close second! #scitlap

tweetjre May 18 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: Most successful online game has been Prodigy ( a math game, tracks Student progress in the are of math). #scitlap

MSkene1 May 18 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3. Kahoot! Super fun and engaging learning. #scitlap

BroCstart May 18 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@MrsMorganDaley yeah, it's not a cheap one. My school used Title money for it #scitlap

pentaclethra May 18 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3 pt2 Used #Minecraftedu to have Ss construct animal and plant cells in bio lab. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell May 18 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@pentaclethra Tried that this week. Was confused by how it teams Ss up and how it has to be at least 6 players! Was a flop for us! #scitlap

cjcrawcooper May 18 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: few weeks ago y'all gave me the idea of review pictionary for bio class, so much fun #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 18 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3 100% @quizlet LIVE. They beg me every single day to review science vocab! #scitlap

tweetjre May 18 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: Also like Kahoot, Match Mine, Quiz-Quiz-Trade and Logic Line-up (Kagan strategies to use with any content). #scitlap

SueAtSea May 18 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@ohwowmrspowell @pentaclethra Don’t give up! It was a little learning curve for me, but I am sold! #scitlap

cya_outside May 18 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: Kerbal Space Program is amazing rocket building/launching game. Kids learni g about flight concepts now too #scitlap John from #HamOnt

pentaclethra May 18 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@ohwowmrspowell I told my Ss it was an experiment. They had used Quizlet before and played Kahoot so were a bit prepped. #scitlap

SueAtSea May 18 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@tweetjre Logic Line up sounds interesting, tell us more! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 18 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: Did grudgeball & a jenga game as review games at our campus. They were both big hits! #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell May 18 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@SueAtSea @pentaclethra We use Quizlet Scatter all the time, so this will be a natural progression --next time I'll be prepared! ;) #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 18 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@tweetjre My daughter has this. Wish students had a way to monitor their own progress. @ProdigyGame #scitlap

BroCstart May 18 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3 #scitlap I need to do more games! Maybe that is a summer task, make a games folder. I have them, just forget to use them!

tweetjre May 18 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@SueAtSea Take a content that can be ordered (timeline, numbers, etc) or can be rated on a continuum and have Ss "line up" #scitlap

SueAtSea May 18 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@ohwowmrspowell Yes, that is a great one, too! #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell May 18 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: I have a few SmartNotebook game templates (Connect 4, Jeopardy, Hollywood Squares). Kids get a kick out of these, still! #scitlap

cya_outside May 18 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: #Minecraft use by Ss continues to amaze #scitlap

lisaomeeks May 18 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@BroCstart You should read XPLAP for games. #scitlap

A3: My dept has several sets of old school board games boards that we can use w/ any topic #scitlap

tweetjre May 18 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@daleyscience @ProdigyGame I give Ss feedback - but have never looked at what the Ss have access to. Will check it out! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 18 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Q4: What’s your favorite “fast game” for the last or extra 5 minutes of class so kids aren’t just sitting around? #scitlap

SueAtSea May 18 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3 Have you seen Battleship periodic table? #scitlap

Mer_Townsend May 18 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: Quizlet Live and Kahoot are faves, also play a lot of made-up games where the award is shooting a basket (9th graders love it). #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 18 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@tweetjre She needs to do 40 questions per week, but she can't track it on her own. It's frustrating. #scitlap

KatSpea May 18 @ 9:28 PM EDT

I tried new games such as Bluff and Empire this year but students & I still love oldies but goodies: chance, basketball and grudge #scitlap

lisaomeeks May 18 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4: fast game, Charades using Voc. Words #scitlap

SueAtSea May 18 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4 Mafia or walk around the building to just get ‘em moving! #scitlap

JennaLSnow May 18 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3: if you like kahoot check out quizizz. You will love it! #scitlap

BroCstart May 18 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@lisaomeeks yes! I think that is one of the only #tlap books I don't have yet. My rural town doesn't know what to make of me! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 18 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@SueAtSea We played this yr. I'll do again but may have them play a game of reg battleship 1st. My Ss weren't familiar w/ real game #scitlap

KatSpea May 18 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A4. Basketball and bluff are great fast games. They require little to no prep. #scitlap

MrsMorganDaley May 18 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3 #scitlap Alibi! Set up a mystery, question the accused, separate the pairs and see if the story sticks. #criticalthinking

SueAtSea May 18 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@BroCstart @lisaomeeks …and my urban area, well lets just say I am an outlier! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 18 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@KatSpea What is Bluff and Empire? (maybe they're actually 2 different games) #scitlap

tweetjre May 18 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Q4: "I have, who has", Buzz (multiples of a number: 1, 2, buzz, 4, 5, buzz), 21 Questions, or "Who am I" (game of yes/no qustions) #scitlap

lisaomeeks May 18 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@BroCstart Too funny...keep on sailing pirate! #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell May 18 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@Partain_Science @SueAtSea My Ss weren't familiar with Battleship either! Was kind of shocking to me! #scitlap

smarterteacher May 18 @ 9:29 PM EDT

We had a Elemental Madness during March to determine the "best" element. Using Chollonge to create brackets #scitlap https://t.co/LC8pFqTERP

BroCstart May 18 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@SueAtSea #scitlap we've def taken some walks around the grounds, ss loved it. Esp. When they got some free time on the playground!

daleyscience - Moderator May 18 @ 9:30 PM EDT

AA4 Curious to see suggestions! #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell May 18 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@JennaLSnow We are obsessed with Quizizz. Those memes keep us rolling. #scitlap

SueAtSea May 18 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@smarterteacher Oh yes, brackets always! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 18 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@KatSpea Do the kids have cards for Bluff? #scitlap

BroCstart May 18 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4 #scitlap usually my ss are focused on whatever project is going on; have to remind them class is ending!

Partain_Science - Moderator May 18 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3: I wanted to try & create a go-fish like vocab game but haven't gotten to it yet... #scitlap

BroCstart May 18 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@lisaomeeks 😃 ss, and the P, love it. Parents confused, but can't argue when a child comes home EXCITED about a class! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 18 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4: I usually ask questions but want to add points or levels or something for next year. Need to think on this.. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 18 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Q5: How do you deal with those days that you are “off your game?” What advice would you give to a struggling T? #scitlap

KatSpea May 18 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@Partain_Science no. Play in two teams. Show a ques. Team 1 players stand if they think they know. Team 2 picks player who answers. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell May 18 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@Partain_Science I do this with a super simple chart with tally marks. Kids track points and can use them to "buy" prizes. Easy! #scitlap

MrsMorganDaley May 18 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@BroCstart @lisaomeeks best feeling ..when parents tell you their kids are excited about your class #scitlap

BroCstart May 18 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4.B #scitlap mid class like to posture exercises to help with presentation skills. Stretch! Talk body language

cya_outside May 18 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4: "Tidy up time" is the game of choice most days. It's usually a scramble to turnover the space for the next class #makerspace #scitlap

SueAtSea May 18 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A5 1 page summary, Science magazines, current science events all the time in Earth Science #scitlap

KatSpea May 18 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@Partain_Science if person correct team 1 gets point for every player standing. If wrong team 2 gets point for all standing. #Scitlap

BroCstart May 18 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@MrsMorganDaley @lisaomeeks #scitlap RIGHT! Such a huge validation of effort

SueAtSea May 18 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@MrsMorganDaley And if they send a note telling you, it is saved for posterity! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 18 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A3: This is a description of the Jenga Review game. https://t.co/deW0K8Bang Thanks to @MsHallschool (& whoever she got it from) #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell May 18 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A5: Own up to it! Kids seem to appreciate the honesty and "reliability." And then show them your effort to recharge and reboot! #scitlap

JennaLSnow May 18 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5: teach to the kid who is excited to learn. Dont waste (too much) energy on the ones that dont #scitlap

Mer_Townsend May 18 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5: Everyone has those days! Evaluate what went wrong, and then move on! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 18 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@ohwowmrspowell Do you do it per team? per kid? per period? #scitlap

MrsMorganDaley May 18 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@SueAtSea #scitlap I should get the good ones tattooed on my arm 😅

ohwowmrspowell May 18 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@Partain_Science I have 2 blocks of kids, and a tally sheet for each. I also track homework and behavior points on the same sheet. #scitlap

BroCstart May 18 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5 #scitlap most days, you invest in ss. If dev'p authentic rel'p w them, can occasionally w/d some w lower key class, rel'event movie...

ohwowmrspowell May 18 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@Partain_Science And the same sheet tracks with Ss to their other class, so my teammate can add to it in her class. Great system! #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell May 18 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5: It's nice to have a few 'tricks' to pull out while I get myself together. For me, it's partner vocab practice on Quizlet. #scitlap

cya_outside May 18 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5: Easy answer - take it outside #scitlap

lisaomeeks May 18 @ 9:40 PM EDT

Partain_Science - Moderator May 18 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Q6: What piece of advice would you give to a newbie teacher about how to better play this game called teaching? #scitlap

cya_outside May 18 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5: Spend time conferencing with students as this ALWAYS inspires me #scitlap

KatSpea May 18 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Q5. Gotta own it then fake it till you make it. Silly science songs, dancing, brain break, minute of silence or quick game all help #scitlap

pentaclethra May 18 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A5 On off days don't be afraid to dump a lesson and fall back onto something else. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 18 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@SueAtSea Sometimes I set out the stuff for an exciting demo as motivation for Ss to finish something.If we get done, then we demo! #scitlap

A6: Always be open to new ideas! Build relationships with coworkers. Make efforts to make each day fun. #scitlap

lisaomeeks May 18 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A6: find humor in everything, they are just kids and teach them like they are your own. #scitlap

SueAtSea May 18 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@chrisandres003 @msjlura @WickedDecent Plastic instead of metal? Not sure. Need to explore! #scitlap

BroCstart May 18 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A6 #scitlap be honest and transparent. Invest in ss, believe in them, challenge them, and take care of yourself

daleyscience - Moderator May 18 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A6 Don't forget to have fun! Teaching and learning should be fun and exciting! An adventure!!! #scitlap

MrsMorganDaley May 18 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A5 #scitlap something the Ss are familiar with & we can all enjoy. We like to create freezeframes of what we read & discuss perspectives

pentaclethra May 18 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A6 I will have a student teacher this fall and have been thinking lots about this. #scitlap

MSkene1 May 18 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5. ENJOY it!!! Energized teachers = energized students. #scitlap

SueAtSea May 18 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A6 Design their own experiment for a concept. Good thinking skill. #scitlap

smarterteacher May 18 @ 9:43 PM EDT

My best advice is create a culture of LEARNING not of point accumulation. #scitlap https://t.co/V1YfPBg1os

@pentaclethra I ask b/c I have a newbie T who is struggling & is having more neg days than pos, I think. :( #scitlap

@heystryker The teachers at #scitlap are the best in biz!

pentaclethra May 18 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@Partain_Science Exactly, we need to make sure new teachers don't fall into a hole of negativity. #scitlap

smarterteacher May 18 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@pentaclethra She is on the precipice. The new T started Spring sem & it's been rough for her #scitlap

pentaclethra May 18 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@smarterteacher Agreed, but embracing failure is easier when you have tenure. #scitlap

tweetjre May 18 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A6: Love the students, do your best to teach them and meet their needs and try not to sweat the rest. It will come with time. #scitlap

KatSpea May 18 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Q6 Remember its not about u. Its about them. Buy tiara & wear it on days u want it to be about u (use sparingly so remains special) #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell May 18 @ 9:47 PM EDT

Next, I would say "Become the Guide on the Side not the Sage on the Stage." #scitlap https://t.co/1EJ9jApjlf

Q7: How do you increase the level of rigor in games like jeopardy or kahoot? #scitlap

cya_outside May 18 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A6: Work hardest on work/life balance & make every day a new day for Ss to share in a new day of pirate adventures #scitlap #tlap #LearnLAP

ohwowmrspowell May 18 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@pentaclethra @Partain_Science Absolutely! I started teaching in February, after the previous teacher retired. Such a challenge! #scitlap

SueAtSea May 18 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A7 Have Ss make the games! #scitlap

@ohwowmrspowell I do this and the students love it. I say it's my day to shine. I'm the one with the tiara. 👑 #Scitlap

pentaclethra May 18 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A7 I don't like to associate the word "rigor" with games. To increase accountability and learning have Ss construct Qs or game. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 18 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@SueAtSea At my campus loving the students is essential. For many, it's the only place they get it. Everything else is negotiable #scitlap

MrsMorganDaley May 18 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@heystryker awesome! Let me know how it goes! #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell May 18 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@BroCstart @KatSpea @ohwowmrspowell I was just wondering if I should get a tiara. I think a viking cap is a better fit. #scitlap

PWebb30 May 18 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A7 When do Ss get the tiara? #scitlap

smarterteacher May 18 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@pentaclethra I am more concerned with helping Ss to embrace Failure. #scitlap https://t.co/8zC0ZhJ593

I make the Qs tough & then have students explain why answers are correct or incorrect. It's important to model learning can be fun #scitlap
