Snapchat isn’t what I thought.

I mean, it is. It’s a powerful Augmented Reality tool that teens are using  ALL.THE.TIME.  And PROLIFICALLY.

But once I got into it, my ideas (see the previous po […]

I’m VERY unfamiliar with badging apps, etc. I see you have been using Ninja Warrior – What are you using to deliver the new badges?

The most exciting parts about this are 1. the agency teachers have in the process (how much to buy in, what to buy in to , etc.) and 2. that your school is so open to dynamic PD.

In response to your questions:
They wanted them to be easier, and thought this would be the case if they were condensed. However, there are some great media theorists talking about tweets and texts, and the best blogs, and how they are sophisticated uses of language because they distill salient points of big information.

Yeah! The twitter journey has been fascinating – they’re also showing their humour. I recently saw a “selfie” Ismene posted of herself and Antigone (two of the main characters) – and it’s actually just a charcoal drawing in classic style – the antiquated photograph, I suppose.

I hope you share how that goes! It’ll be interesting to see what the different age group comes up with, and how the ideas work with a more discrete task! Take pictures!!!

Thank you for introducing me to Augmented Reality…looking for ways to incorporate this into Gr. 12 English!

Can I take your class, please?

What I see in your design is the opportunity for students to enjoy reading. By asking them to engage through Harkness discussions around a particular question, they can really own their knowledge and experience of a text.

As for choice, I think three texts is a safe list to start with. I also think…Read more

Great post! I was unaware of Kaizena on Google docs- — what a great tool, for bot students and teachers! I have a number of students who prefer to, or need to, talk out their thinking before or during their writing, so this tool would be fantastic for when they write outlines or rough drafts of essays, as well as to assess…Read more

I was not planning to present, but thank you for the encouragement! I will think about doing that!

I am so thankful that Leslie taught us about design thinking! It’s such a cool way to bring inquiry into the classroom. Thanks so much for the kind words — and potential traffic. 🙂

That’s encouraging! – Actually, another group I didn’t mention designed a “virtual reality” game experience to get familiar with the context of a piece of literature. It’s great to see someone has already done this with the Gone Home game! Next version: Elsinore Castle? Okonkwo’s Tribe? I think they’ll love this site.

This is a fantastic video — looking today at possible action plans, and it gives a clear picture of what is required and potential obstacles.

All characters have a twitter account e.g. @MacbethTMS14 and these are each assigned to a different student, who has co-access to the account with the teacher.

Some major characters are double-cast, so @MacbethTMS1…Read more

Yes, decreased reading times are particularly challenging in the English Classroom! I just edited the post with some further thoughts and some concerns, incorporating that issue.

That is a great article to think about skill-building and resilience with reading tasks.
