pchildre May 10 @ 9:16 PM EDT

as an educator I try to use multi-sensory learning methods in order to reach all children. #3rdchat

bickd May 10 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: #3rdchat Teaching with different styles/modalities in mind helps T engage more S with what reaches them. challenges Ss w/a diff style

AmyLSchumacher May 10 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: Being aware of learning modalities and implementing them are essential in differentiated instruction to reach our Ss. #3rdchat

#3rdchat A2: Differentiate instruction, increase Ss learning when combining modalities

FirstAtBat - Moderator May 10 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: It is about recognizing not every child learns the same way. We need to keep it student focused. #3rdchat

A key piece of differentiation that many teachers miss #3rdchat

In reply to @AmyLSchumacher

itsmeSpiri May 10 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2) We all don't learn same way, most important for Ss to identify how they learn,need to know modality & environ that works 4 them #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator May 10 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Something to always keep in mind! #3rdchat

bickd May 10 @ 9:18 PM EDT

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator May 10 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Question 3 #3rdchat

MrsPug1 - Moderator May 10 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2 Ss learn in different ways and we need to address these in order for Ss to learn and grow. #3rdchat

#3rdchat In a S centered classroom you will see hands on learning. T centered you will see a lot of lecture. and then there is a mix.

AmyLSchumacher May 10 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: Most are visual, so using whiteboards, smartboards, digital/visual media. Love padlet, popplet, flipgrid for these reasons #3rdchat

A3) I'm big on kinesthetic, kids need to move, can't sit still myself 😂not using audial too much, listen to them, let them explore #3rdchat

hillaggie93 May 10 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: It used to be more Ss were visual learners, but so many now are kinesthetic and need hands-on to "get" it. #3rdchat

kimmykcollins May 10 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3 Found a variety but realized I didn't do as much hands on as I thought!! Changed that up this year! Love a good challenge!! #3rdchat

bickd May 10 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Ps are asking at conferences why I don't see the same probs with their Ss that other Ts see.I tell them it is because of hands on #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator May 10 @ 9:27 PM EDT

I do fairly well with that. I mean when I look at my whole instructional day...I would say I need to increase hands on. #3rdchat

pchildre May 10 @ 9:31 PM EDT

#3rdchat The s who needs to be met emotionally first! Those are the hardest. Building rapport is so important. Learning the s

mindi_r May 10 @ 9:40 PM EDT

#3rdchat A5: I think we should teach kids to pay attention to how they learn and then ask them about it. They need a voice in their learning

bickd May 10 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5: I gave my 3-5th graders a survey about Learning Styles and they marked everything. Ss don't know how to gauge what they like #3rdchat

A5: Yes, involve Ss in learning style. Helps them strengthen their learning & ownership of learning. #3rdchat

Some students intuitively understand and know, others need guidance. Asking questions to gage what works for them #3rdchat

Ss that are constantly drawing and doodling are into arts, Ss that can't quit humming are into music.Ss that can't sit still-kine.. #3rdchat

Some Ss just need an "I notice"....statement from us! #3rdchat

If you haven't used @fieldtripzoom is amazing! Cost money but every1 I've done has engaged my students and used many modalities! #3rdchat

A6)Observing, discuss w/Ss, spot kinesthetic right way, I was a fidgeter, auditory can sit longest, visuals say I can't see a lot #3rdchat

bickd May 10 @ 9:51 PM EDT

https://t.co/Xwz5ctdAEF is a website/app game that uses lots of modalities and even has an exercise component, art, dance, etc #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator May 10 @ 9:53 PM EDT

Best part! #3rdchat

bickd May 10 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A7: Balance- try to mix it up as much as you can, in assignments, HW, assessments to reach as many modalities as possible #3rdchat

hillaggie93 May 10 @ 9:54 PM EDT

Q7: Scoot games with partners are fun, gets Ss moving and they can discuss and work with each other, just search Pinterest or TPT! #3rdchat

A7: Choice helps Ss pick their comfort level instead of Ts assuming what it is #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator May 10 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A7: differentiate as much as possible, be flexible, patient, and kind. Collab with colleagues and #PLN for awesome resources! #3rdchat

itsmeSpiri May 10 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A7) Be flexible, it's not about how comfortable T is w/his/her teaching style, but about how each S learns best #kidsfirst #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator May 10 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A7: choice boards are great tool for meeting Ss needs and modalities for sure! #3rdchat

bickd May 10 @ 9:56 PM EDT

For those w/ hands on struggles, use every day materials, nothing fancy, try doing one a month or so until it is more comfortable. #3rdchat

itsmeSpiri May 10 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A7) Take the time to research & incorporate a small component of each into ur lessons, not as difficult as one may think #3rdchat

bickd May 10 @ 9:58 PM EDT

Be comfortable with mess.Ask Ss what equipment do you need to build ??Ss will give you a list of stuff you have in your closet #3rdchat

A7) Embrace Ss that can't sit still, those fidgeters are the best source of excitement & motivation for lesson, fit them into it #3rdchat

bickd May 10 @ 9:59 PM EDT

Do hands on when you can have a P helper or T helper so you feel more comfortable and have extra hands to help #3rdchat
