Are there any educators out there who have tried goanimate4schools.com? Any helpful hints? #iowa1to1s
With students at a college library today working on research skills...an amazing experience (and draining too!)
Straight A student today on 1:1 learning: "I wish we didn't have these computers...you expect me to think so much harder..."
New phrase by students...This is a Monday Friday...we have the normal brain fuzz of a Monday, and the hyperactivity of a Friday...
Looking at curriculum manager reports today...big talks are coming about financial literacy in our curriculum!
Love it when students start coming to me about logical fallacies they find in online work...they really can understand the art of persuasion
Collaboration is really the number one skill to teach through 1:1..students learn to respond to each other's ideas in an educated way...
Just finished first semester with 1:1 laptop class. Amazing feedback! We dealt entirely in "big ideas" and left memorization to Google!
Great site www.p21.org/route21. Shows what 21st Century skills would actually look like in the classroom
