Classroom Highlight!
Collaborative Battle Project
A High Five goes out to Mrs. Barger for being the first teacher to use the Digital Learning Coach. We worked together to successfully have her two regular American I classes work collaboratively to complete Battle projects where students created Google Slides which included researched information along with images, a map, a video, a piece of art work from their battle and if they were to visit today what would it be like. The students then presented their projects to the class in order to teach the students about their battles.
What might a Student Centered Classroom look like?
- collaborative spacing for students
- variety of learning spaces for students
- marker walls or spaces
- may look like chaos

Did you know?
Did you know that Discovery Education has a neat tool called Board Builder? Below is a link after you login to Discovery Education you can see 50 ways to user board builder. To me it is like a Pinterist site on steroids with boards already built in some areas and even students can create their own boards. There is something for all core subjects.
Here is how to login to discovery ed: Login - use your computer user name and password to get into the program.

Collaborative Tool Highlight!
Padlet is the easy way to create and collaborate with others.
Padlet is an Internet application that allows people to express their thoughts on a common topic easily. It works like an online sheet of paper where people can put any content (e.g. images, videos, documents, text) anywhere on the page, together with anyone, from any device.
Think of it like a multimedia friendly, free-form, real-time wiki.
