Online PD Flipped Classroom: 2.0 hours--March 4th-15th
(Don't forget to respond to my calendar event to be added!)
Do some students need to hear content more than once? Have you considered an "in class" flipped approach for delivering content? This ONLINE session will focus on the advantages and basics of the flipped classroom blended learning model and provide strategies for implementing. Learn how video can give students and parents access to content so they can learn at their own pace.
Choice Boards: Wednesday, March 13th 3:30-5:30
Are you looking for a way to engage your students? Use the power of choice by incorporating choice boards into your classroom. A choice board is a graphic organizer that allows students to choose how they will learn/practice a concept. Choice boards are adaptable across content areas and allow students to showcase the skills they’ve mastered.
Digital Assessments made Easy with Microsoft Forms:Wednesday, March 20th 3:30-4:30
Microsoft Forms is a part of Office 365 Education that allows teachers or students to easily and quickly create custom surveys, quizzes, questionnaires, registrations and more. Form authors can invite others to complete forms, which they can do using any web browser, even on mobile devices. During this session, participants will learn how to create forms and share them with their students to assess the content they have presented in class.
All in person sessions are in the Library. Please sign up on School Station and bring a charged device for these sessions!
