Super Awesome Teachers
-I meant to mention this one weeks ago....Mr. Hernandez for using EdPuzzle! Seriously, it is so cool. You can upload your own videos or any that you find from YouTube, then insert questions throughout that students have to answer and submit through EdPuzzle. Mrs. Wadzeck mentioned it during her Fishbowl Friday on Flipped Classrooms, so talk to either of them if you are looking to integrate more technology!
-Speaking of Mrs. Wadzeck...we all know that students seemed particularly crazy last week. Freshmen were no exception. But the second Mrs. Wadzeck began her "ShowMe" on the quadratic formula, students were instantly paying attention and taking notes as she was free to walk around, monitor, answer individual questions, and make sure everyone was on-task. Super cool!
