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

@KarlyMoura @Flocabulary_ I do too! They keep coming out with more videos all of the time :) #ditchbook

leadlaughlearn - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:23 PM EDT

@TTmomTT I do this too! Sometimes I ask Ss to make screencasts of those presentations so Ss can hear/review later #DitchBook

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

mdoran2067 Mar 31 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A3. Brain Rush. Here's an example: https://t.co/4KNe6Wo1UG #DitchBook

TTmomTT - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:23 PM EDT

@leadlaughlearn Awesome idea. #DitchBook

ohsoearly Mar 31 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@tishrich questions are from @SingerTeach tonight :) #DitchBook

KarlyMoura - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A4 @GetKahoot is great for practicing. Have STUDENTS create questions for your class Kahoot! #DitchBook

EduDanceInspire Mar 31 @ 10:24 PM EDT

Great idea @TTmomTT! Have you tried @padlet, good way for Ss to be interactive with online “post-its” #DitchBook https://t.co/BMYGIlJPqb

TTmomTT - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A3: I love good old Google Docs or Slides. Ss can collaborate on vocab and add text and images OR create mind maps in GDraw #DitchBook

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:24 PM EDT

Looking forward to checking out this tool. Thanks, @sandeeteach! #DitchBook https://t.co/Nix6s9AimG

sandeeteach Mar 31 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A3 @quizlet @Freerice @Lyrics2learn is for reading fluency but teach vocab too #ditchbook

dr_riina Mar 31 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A2: students get 1 word to "research" then all post to padlet. https://t.co/mFp1TEtLdi is a great for electronic bulletin board. #DitchBook

KarlyMoura - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:25 PM EDT

Agreed, and with voice typing we can get all levels engaged and involved! #DitchBook https://t.co/2LXE8znUgu

A2 Here's another post about differentiating through S choice https://t.co/BLlKsPbMnH #DitchBook

Beyond_the_Desk Mar 31 @ 10:25 PM EDT

Here's an example from today with @Classkick. I can see and interact w/their screens live. #DitchBook https://t.co/kGvBfItrXb

TTmomTT - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@JonnyCurriculum @TechieTcher I do at HS level for Alg 1. Very successful at changing Ss mindset about learning. #DitchBook

SEANJFAHEY Mar 31 @ 10:25 PM EDT

Just started doing this. You should too! Ss love it! #DitchBook https://t.co/Ln92oiRmKy

KarlyMoura - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A4 @GetKahoot is great for practicing. Have STUDENTS create questions for your class Kahoot! #DitchBook

storiestoldinsf Mar 31 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A4: My students love the competition aspect of @quizlet, especially when I join in! #DitchBook

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:25 PM EDT

My Ss love this! So creative and meaningful! #DitchBook https://t.co/l59I0vAbGc

MistyMitchellm Mar 31 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A2: have Ss write a song for a word or a shirt play in which they use a word....then PERFORM! #ditchbook

NJASECD Mar 31 @ 10:25 PM EDT

#ditchbook Kahoot is an awesome app. Highly recommended

JuliePJones Mar 31 @ 10:26 PM EDT

@techamys Have you seen the Paper app? It's pretty cool for artwork #DitchBook https://t.co/UvG4TgZvAg

techamys Mar 31 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@JuliePJones @SingerTeach We are ditching book and paper for an upcoming project...Go Green Campaign!!

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:26 PM EDT

.@MistyMitchellm We also published a book of vocab poetry using @BlurbBooks #DitchBook

MistyMitchellm Mar 31 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A3. Like to use @Socrative but put up pictures & scenarios instead of definitions kids have to choose what word it reps. #ditchbook

AHSblaz Mar 31 @ 10:26 PM EDT

@emosier3 @quizlet #ditchbook Ss LOVE the new Quizlet Live aspect!

emosier3 Mar 31 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A4: LOVE using @GetKahoot to review vocab and have heard nothing but great things about @quizlet Live! #DitchBook

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:27 PM EDT

.@MistyMitchellm Awesome idea. Ss could also "speed date" as the word. #DitchBook

sandeeteach Mar 31 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A3 What about Google slides and each student makes one slide to present to class- have class book too! #DitchBook

Beyond_the_Desk Mar 31 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A3: What about sketch noting for vocabulary? #DitchBook

SingerTeach Mar 31 @ 10:27 PM EDT

.@JoyousScience Ss can also categorize words. #DitchBook

NJASECD Mar 31 @ 10:27 PM EDT

#ditchbook Socrative is an extraordinary interactive tool

tishrich Mar 31 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A4 quizlet & Kahoot are my go to. For side quests have Ss create an iMovie, screencast, or canva slides of vocab. #ditchbook #xplap

golliharsclass Mar 31 @ 10:28 PM EDT

#DitchBook a4: I need to brush up on gamification. Any tips or sites?

SEANJFAHEY Mar 31 @ 10:28 PM EDT

I give candy or other small reward when i can tell Ss purposely use Vocab word in writing or answering aloud, its a fun motivator #DitchBook

sandeeteach Mar 31 @ 10:28 PM EDT

@zondle is a class FAVORITE! #ditchbook

JoyousScience Mar 31 @ 10:28 PM EDT

@sandeeteach & if they have G-Drive access at home: instant study materials! #DitchBook

TTmomTT - Moderator Mar 31 @ 10:28 PM EDT

@emosier3 I have Ss who don't like Kahoot. It's very stressful and rewards Ss who can process fast, not all Ss can. #DitchBook

LKEdwards94 Mar 31 @ 10:28 PM EDT

@Beyond_the_Desk Love to sketch note! The Ss use it all the time! #ditchbook

cherandpete Mar 31 @ 10:29 PM EDT

@TTmomTT Have you tried Quizzizz at all before? I've heard Ts say that one is a little more user friendly. #DitchBook
