After having participated in all three sessions please share your feedback on the following questions:
1. What is something your LEARNED or LIKED today?
2. What is something you would like to learn MORE about?
3. How could we improve on our NEXT Best Practices Workshop?
The career survey and transition and the kahoots were very informative.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed visiting and learning from other teachers. Today's PD gave me some good ideas that I would like to try. One of them was the nearpod website that helps teach lessons in a fun and interactive way. I saw how the slideshows could be adapted for PE. Students can use templates to do projects/reports for my class in the future. Very cool stuff!
ReplyDelete1. I learned about Cahoot! I like how interactive it is. I also learned about the infographics from the STEM Lab.
ReplyDelete2. Advisory practices with Ms. Gamez, I felt it was too short.
3. A little longer time?
Thanks you so much Ms. Gamez, Ms. Judilla, Mr. Wagner and Ms. Huang. I really enjoyed your the activities and plan on using them with all my classes. Both Kahoot and Nearpod seem quite dynamic and flexible. I think they can be adapted easily to any subject matter and grade level. Thanks again, great work!
ReplyDeleteLet's thank the teachers who showed us really informative lessons today. Thank you Mr. Wagner and Ms. Judilla for nearpod, thank you Ms. Gamez for the 2nd Step lesson and thank you Ms. Huang for the Kahoot website...All very interesting....
ReplyDeleteLearning can be fun. Nearpod looked interesting, but Infographics seemed complicated. I've tried a Second Step empathy lesson, the one with faces, and the girl advisees said everybody looked worried or mad. But I'm curious about some of the Web resources Ms. Gamez recommended. Kahoot was a real kick. I would like to learn more about it.
ReplyDeleteHave to say it takes courage to present in front of your colleagues so I am proud of each of you that volunteered to present: Ms. Judilla, Mr. Wagner, Ms. Huang, and Mrs. Gamez. I learned plenty with Nearpod; I especially appreciated the flexibility of how it could be used. It was an activity that also helped me to reflect on our use of Powerpoint. How much attention do we put towards the size of the font or the color we use or the wordiness of the slide? Images are powerful and help students sometimes better connect. Nearpod helped me to think of a variety of possible uses. :) Ms. Huang thank you for Kahoot presentation. It was fun and easy to use. What a great idea to use around assessing student learning. Also, a fun way to review units covered or key ideas around content. Mrs. Gamez, thank you for sharing with us your lesson on Empathy. By walking us through the lesson it allows us to use it immediately in our classroom. Thanks for giving away such a lesson to everyone. The building of empathy is not an easy task but your lessons helped to begin the conversation. And, your video at the end was a tear jerker. Wow, had to fight back the tears. One hope I have is to continue to share our best practices with each other in the future with three more teachers. How to improve for next time? I would continue to build on presenting lessons that can be immediately transferred across departments. (e.g. successful reading, writing, analyzing activity)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed kahoot, and neat pod, although my eas. Ly didn't want to load, I can see how it can be helpful.
ReplyDeleteYOKA Dragon staff brought their "A" games! Fun, engaging demonstrations. I love hands-on activities and strategies with multiple uses/applications (TRIPLE TRACK AGENDA!).
ReplyDeleteIf we don't engage our kids, it doesn't matter how intelligent we are, how important the info is or how many degrees we hold. We need to tug at their hearts and imaginations to get them to understand connections, correlations, contributions, and ramifications of a person's actions. Connecting to one another, learning how we can contribute to the world, vital 21st century skills.
Muchos thank yous to Ms. Gamez, Ms. Huang, Ms. Judilla, Mr. Magana, Mr. Namba, and Mr. Wagner for sharing your expertise!
I would like to thank you guys for going along with the activities. I have binders of HIV/AIDS lessons, healthy relationship lessons, TUPE lessons, and my lessons from last year how I modified Second Step for my class. I am happy to share anytime.
ReplyDeleteSomething I liked was playing Kahoot. Something I would like to learn more about is making useful Infographics. Something that would improve the next "Best Practices" workshops is having all 3 locations on the same floor.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for participating in the Kahoot workshop! I had a great time watching everyone play the Logo game! I learned today that sharing with each other and collaborating on our practices can be a very enlightening experience. I would like to learn more about how teachers are planning to adapt Kahoot into their own classrooms, how teachers plan to personalize it for their students' needs. I think a great way to improve is to have more Best Practice workshops!
ReplyDeleteI liked learning about some of the technology apps/websites that we can use in class. These can be a great tool to supplement the learning we do in the classroom or extensions to use if some students finish assigned tasks early.
ReplyDeleteI would like to learn more about other types of websites and tools teachers are using in their core classes or advisory.
Limited time during this first round made each section feel a bit rushed.
I found all of the workshops very informative and I used some of the strategies and websites discussed the very next day in my class. I used one of the websites suggested by Mr. Wagner and Ms. Judilla to make graphic organizers in history classes.
ReplyDeleteI liked being exposed to the various types of technology and also learning about the group activity with Ms Gamez. I really enjoyed the game we played in the Kahoot workshop; I would definitely like to know more about. Regarding improvement, maybe from the three workshops, we could choose a particular one in our next workshop to spend the majority of time with, working through and exploring.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciated Ms. Judilla and Mr. Wagner's tech best practice. Learning about nearpod was extremely valuable and it looks like a great resource to use in the classroom. I think I would still need to learn more about how to use it and implement it in my classroom, but I am also excited to browse through t he templates/ resources already on the site.
ReplyDeleteI loved the website and app Mr. Wagner and Ms. Judilla introduced. Will definitely use it for my class. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed Kahoot and Ms. Gamez's lesson plan on Empathy.
