I really like where your HMW started “How might we successfully integrate technology in the classroom to enhance grade 3 student learning ?”
but given your post you could also consider..
“HMW re-think Grade 3 book talks in order to maximize engagement and opportunities for feedback”
This leaves you wide open to explore many…Read more

I love your HMW question “How might we shift student thinking from marks to skills through meaningful assessment and individualized, timely feedback.”
given your post and really innovative approach to addressing it it could also be rephrased as

What an interesting reflection on JIT pedagogy serving student needs the best. I agree in many ways; however, I do think that there is a sustainable way to do this.

Yes, I think for all teachers, TIME is that precious yet elusive educational resource. One way I’ve seen teachers “conserve” time is to link creative, student-driven projects to existing curriculum. Last year our Grade 6 Ss learned how to make quilts to give to a family our school sponsored. Several departments worked together to tie a…Read more

I love that you get right to the point in this post. Here is why they like it, here is what they want. I found it interesting that students were not able to articulate what would make the Art Club/space more successful. To my way of thinking, that is your beautiful problem to solve. Can students take ownership over a space instead of…Read more

So often school prioritize showy displays of new spaces and new tech but students are still learning in the same old ways that they always have, with perhaps a bit of augmentation from technology.
