A1: All our students appreciated musical cues; many even sung along and requested them! It gave structure and energy to class. #SwDmathchat

bkdidact - Moderator Dec 8 @ 9:08 PM EST

glad you could join us Angie! #swdmathchat

anndurham13 Dec 8 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1 They create a common experience that all Ss share #SwDMathChat

mathconfidence Dec 8 @ 9:10 PM EST

what kind of music do you use? #swdmathchat

In reply to @BHS908

aboone_angie Dec 8 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: I haven't used musical cues in class, but have used music as a brain break #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Dec 8 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1: Transitions are hard for some students with and without disabilities, thus would be a universally designed support for all #SwDMathChat

BHS908 Dec 8 @ 9:11 PM EST

Some of the cues from @mrvaudrey here: https://t.co/1mTfDIRBP0 stuck into a PPT #SwDmathchat

can you tell us more about brain breaks Angie? #SwDMathChat

Q2: #SwDmathchat

MFAnnie Dec 8 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: Have seen music used as a way to signal to Ss IF their group convo is 2 loud - if you can't heard the music, you're 2 loud. #SwDMathchat

MFAnnie Dec 8 @ 9:12 PM EST

Though I think that might be a little different than many of you are talking about. #SwDMathChat

MrVaudrey Dec 8 @ 9:12 PM EST

Hey, effective use is effective use. #SwDmathchat

yes, let's start with what our Ss can do, not with what they cannot. Easy to say, tough to live. #elemmathchat

A2: Things like singing bowls and chimes are often used in our school to prep transitions #SwDMathChat

aboone_angie Dec 8 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1: after hard concepts sometimes my Ss need time to relax, we have listened to, and danced,Ss love it #SwDMathChat

BHS908 Dec 8 @ 9:15 PM EST

A2: Room 908 uses a waiter call bell to re-gather the class from chat. Instead of hollering, "Back to me" or whatever. #SwDmathchat

anndurham13 Dec 8 @ 9:15 PM EST

Instead of providing routines/structures for only SwD, you let all Ss use and benefit from the same things together #SwDMathChat

In reply to @bkdidact

MFAnnie Dec 8 @ 9:15 PM EST

True enough. And in that case, the data said that reggae was most accepted by all Ss (=least objected to). Just FYI. #SwDMathChat

In reply to @MrVaudrey

MrVaudrey Dec 8 @ 9:15 PM EST

Attentive to student needs AND providing movement breaks? @aboone_angie has been reading my diary. #SwDmathchat

.@MFAnnie #SwDmathchat

In reply to @MFAnnie

MFAnnie Dec 8 @ 9:18 PM EST

Not that I know of. Just that in one HS T's experience, no one actually hated reggae, so least objections. #SwDMathChat

In reply to @bkdidact, @MrVaudrey

MrVaudrey Dec 8 @ 9:19 PM EST

Yes. Definitely. And dancing. #SwDmathchat

adelayedteacher Dec 8 @ 9:15 PM EST

So you're saying I can't play the chorus of "Hollaback Girl" as an alternate method?

aboone_angie Dec 8 @ 9:19 PM EST

my poor kiddos have to listen to what is on my phone! Getting exposed to classic rock! #SwDmathchat

I started playing some Jimmy Cliff and my kids said, “Mister, you old. What is this old music?” #swdmathchat

bkdidact - Moderator Dec 8 @ 9:21 PM EST

now when my friends and peers look at my phone there’s way too much pop! My phone is some 4 me and some 4 Ss! #swdmathchat

MrVaudrey Dec 8 @ 9:21 PM EST

.@aboone_angie @bkdidact Those "poor kiddos" could have it worse. One T I knew listened to exclusively duranguense. #SwDmathchat

.@mathconfidence Indeed. More on that later tonight. #SwDmathchat

A3: SwD benefit greatly from clarity and routine. Any well established mgmt system to assist transition is great! #SwDMathChat

@bkdidact Surprised them when I made them dance to Hey Ya! By OutKast #swdmathchat

Q4: #SwDmathchat

anndurham13 Dec 8 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3 The consistency takes away surprises and helps Ss know what to expect and how to respond appropriately #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Dec 8 @ 9:29 PM EST

Love this. @davidwees describes how if Ss are clear about routines then the math can be highlighted more #swdmathchat

In reply to @anndurham13, @davidwees

bkdidact - Moderator Dec 8 @ 9:33 PM EST

A4: Anything that increases students’ progress towards independence builds self-control. #SwDMathChat

anndurham13 Dec 8 @ 9:33 PM EST

A4 The cues give Ss the responsibility to decide how to respond instead of the T telling what to do next #SwDMathChat

MrVaudrey Dec 8 @ 9:36 PM EST

Q5: #SwDmathchat

MrVaudrey Dec 8 @ 9:36 PM EST

"Wait... what are we doing?... Ohhhhh, that's the glue song." #SwDmathchat

MrVaudrey Dec 8 @ 9:44 PM EST

Q6: #SwDmathchat

bkdidact - Moderator Dec 8 @ 9:46 PM EST

A6: This reminds me of Final Jeopardy. Ss know how much time they have to think based on song length. https://t.co/UkRawseIZR #SwDMathChat

aboone_angie Dec 8 @ 9:47 PM EST

A6: I could see how it would fill that quiet time, helping me not to jump in to quickly #SwDMathChat

anndurham13 Dec 8 @ 9:47 PM EST

A6 Oooh, haven't done this, but I can see huge benefits in forcing myself to slow down and give Ss time...and great for Ss #SwDMathChat

MrVaudrey Dec 8 @ 9:52 PM EST

Q7: #SwDmathchat

bkdidact - Moderator Dec 8 @ 9:54 PM EST

A7: Not only teacher personality, but can key in on student interest and assist with engagement. #SwDMathChat

MFAnnie Dec 8 @ 9:54 PM EST

I think that's especially important. You can NOT interrupt until the song is over (or whatever). Think time. #SwDMathChat

In reply to @anndurham13

anndurham13 Dec 8 @ 9:54 PM EST

A7 I'm a big fan of movement, so physical actions tied to cues could be great for Ss. I see mini dance parties in my future #SwDMathChat

MrVaudrey Dec 8 @ 9:55 PM EST

Truth. And it takes confidence to let the song be in charge in MY OWN classroom. #swdmathchat
