Finding new and innovative approaches to do the same thing. Taking more risks. In our Lab we just finished a @koduteam game design challenge right before break. #sdedchat
My biggest - make it important to them, let them lead once they understand the way class runs. I also like giving #hyperdocs and having them create projects. #sdedchat
We've set up to become more independent learners in my room, so it really works to give them the lead this time of year to start with different projects #sdedchat
A3: I work on keeping things positive. We like to joke, dance, and have good discussions about life outside of school, then work on the "school work". #sdedchat
A3: Make a big deal about positive choices. Who doesn't enjoy being celebrated? I know @Flood1Tracy gave away gift cards last year to encourage people to tweet more about what they are doing in class. I could use a gift card...that is all. #sdedchat
#sdedchat I find a fun project going on to pair with testing - something with low risk, but high educational reward -- like @GetKahoot@quizlet live, etc
A5: I try to have maker sessions going on through testing week. Maybe a self-directed in class information search. Minimal HW if any. And of course sensory stimulating/calming snacks = crunchy and chewy. #sdedchat
CTA: Listen to their desires. Ask them what they want to accomplish these final two months of the year, then find a way to help make this a reality. #sdedchat
A5) start the class by greeting them at the door. Then run in and jump on a desk and hook them into your lesson @burgessdave style! Tell them they matter! #sdedchat
