    Doesn't matter where it is, as long as Ss use it. If it's not used, it's kind of pointless. #weirded

    Be careful with perceived choice. Students can and will recognize when they're being played. They'll see right through your game! #WeirdEd

  • Sneffleupagus Sep 20 @ 10:50 PM EDT
    8th graders and 6th graders, so Math 7 and Alg 1. Ss like not losing their train of thought when searching for a word. #weirded

    I got around transitions by having more stations than groups, and not setting a time limit on stations. Worked surprisingly well. #weirded

    Can you start your lesson rotation in the 2nd or 3rd period every so often? :) #weirded

    I use them all the time. But I'm a little crazy. See if you can get your smart board installed on rollers. This way you can move it #weirded

    Yes, groups of 3 in a class of 30. So, 10 groups, 13 stations, minimum of 5 completed stations of various difficulty levels. #weirded
