As I look into the first week back from break, I am excited to try a couple new things right away. First, I will be using Thinglink as a welcome back activity. I have seen this before at conferences and have downloaded on my ipad before, but had just not seen the application for it. Listening to back episodes of House of Edtech podcast, I got the final push. We will give it a try, and I have some scaffolding set up with Google Slides in case the application does not work.
The big new thing is to try my first 3 Act Lesson in math. I am always reflecting and searching how to make math more engaging and real. While I feel there is more for me to read on the presentation and facilitation, I just need to give it a try. The lesson that we will be doing is from Graham Fletchy and is about racing. I had been playing some Mario Kart with the kids over break and was looking myself at the place value potential when the results are displayed. This lesson puts it all together, and keeping with my flipped theme I have put it into Google Slides. I am excited to read more about the 3 Act Lessons and see how this one goes! Comments are closed.
