We broke into a few small groups, each focusing on one element.<br /><br />Our focal points:<br /><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Sound </b>- Whatever your subject is, it should be heard loud and clear. If there is too much distracting background noise, or the subject is super quiet, the whole video becomes nearly unwatchable. Sound can include voiceovers, background noise, music and more. Be mindful of how far your phone is from the subject.</li><li><b>Lighting </b>- If you are in a basement, the overhead lighting tends to be too harsh. Dim the lights and add a second light source such as a lamp. The idea is to light the subject from two different angles.</li><li><b>B Roll</b> - These are shots that usually have voiceover, music or action. Beyond a voiceover, you can't hear people or things making noise in these shots. B Roll adds context to whatever your video is about.</li><li><b>Background</b> - What is behind the subject? A blank background is exceptionally boring, can you move them in front of a bookshelf, car or something else visually interesting?</li><li><b>Thread </b>- What was the unifying idea that carried the viewer through the entire video?</li><li><b>Interviews </b>- Who did they interview and how did that help build the story?</li></ol><div><b>Examples from the video</b></div><div><b>Sound</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgddceEUiO9LvuKseKFdcCfpKCQZMWG-Zf-mEfQybtUn7dcA2sUDnwGG8h6PgDF832_9vQBacw3v_MtRgAxAM0lsbNV8PlwAVKi-kE8fVq5Zti7Bt5EvvDIMEt9tKqiD3R1CZDh_EHXx7US2rKWrhYus5kuOOemIKxyajPwnY5ijY0Vr1mU-MUyRHtu/s1279/1%20sound%20transitions.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="722" data-original-width="1279" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgddceEUiO9LvuKseKFdcCfpKCQZMWG-Zf-mEfQybtUn7dcA2sUDnwGG8h6PgDF832_9vQBacw3v_MtRgAxAM0lsbNV8PlwAVKi-kE8fVq5Zti7Bt5EvvDIMEt9tKqiD3R1CZDh_EHXx7US2rKWrhYus5kuOOemIKxyajPwnY5ijY0Vr1mU-MUyRHtu/w640-h362/1%20sound%20transitions.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Many of the transitions happened with sound.

Not every single part of these are immediately useful, all the steps that it requires builds important technological pathways in my head. I have finished one of the three, but have so many new understandings and ideas making the time spent a great investment. </p><p>Here are the top three that I have found so far.</p><p><b><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/educator-center/programs/microsoft-educator/">Microsoft Educator</a></b></p><p>We all have access to a ton of Microsoft products and have used them for years.

While the test costs $10, it will help you dive deep into everything Google has to offer teachers and students. You can keep leveling up to become a coach or innovator.</p><p><b><a href="https://www.apple.com/education/k12/apple-learning-coach/">Apple Learning Coach</a></b></p><p>I earned this over the summer, it was not easy! What I walked away with is new ideas on coaching and how to use Pages to capture learning over a period of time.

There are a lot of things I do to regain all of that. Somedays it is walking through the halls of a school. Somedays I drink a gallon of coffee in a very short amount of time. Other times I watch just the first 30 minutes of Full Metal Jacket, it always makes me laugh and remember some good times.</p><p>I also watch a ton of great YouTubes. Here are my top few that remind me why I show up each day, all of these are school friendly unlike FMJ.</p><p>I am having issues embedding, so I will just link to these videos.</p><p><b><a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pink_the_puzzle_of_motivation">The puzzle of motivation</a></b> - Dan Pink Check out his Pink casts, always short and powerful</p><p><b><a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/carol_dweck_the_power_of_believing_that_you_can_improve">The power of believing that you can improve</a></b> - Carol Dweck I saw Carol present a year ago, super interesting ideas.</p><p><b><a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/sir_ken_robinson_do_schools_kill_creativity">Do schools kill creativity?</a></b> Sir Ken Robinson I also saw Sir Ken, the best hour of any conference. This is a moving video, one I have watched maybe 30 times so far. Each time I rewatch, I get a little something new.

That task would usually take me at least 90 minutes, it only took 20 with GPT.</p><p>I wrote another letter of recommendation for someone seeking a new position. Maybe seven minutes later I was finished. </p><p>The other day I was talking with a teacher and we used GPT to write a five day lesson plan for a specific student. A five day individualized plan done in seconds. </p><p>In all of these examples I, or we, tweaked what the AI created to make it our own. I would never recommend using any resource without reading and reviewing it completely.</p><p>And of course the AI will make mistakes and give you incorrect information. Anything you download from TpT and search on Google will give you misinformation from time to time. As far as I can tell, there are no perfect systems.</p><p>In this post I want to add a few more details to build on from last time. We all get stuck at times and endlessly google things. What this AI will do is give you some ideas to either use or drill further into. I have also copied the AI generated answers and pasted them into Google to see what new ideas it would come up with.</p><p><b>Prompt</b> - Top ten ways to use ChatGPT for an elementary teacher</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR9x7OtC-LSg8y7wwSWSUaaO9WbXdCHlqNM3DZdz6FfTiUKX7H0tVrwLs_3Vl8ONeroiAeXPsM-Tmlgeo4mgRtlxrMGvE12J-uWbkBlu1GqytK7IAFiifinh23GbSMLo2qtBTB9PwDGngonXDLsNxrez58_UGLKpYexBWFYlnIFIo8_3EqO3oUdSGm/s1340/1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="230" data-original-width="1340" height="110" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR9x7OtC-LSg8y7wwSWSUaaO9WbXdCHlqNM3DZdz6FfTiUKX7H0tVrwLs_3Vl8ONeroiAeXPsM-Tmlgeo4mgRtlxrMGvE12J-uWbkBlu1GqytK7IAFiifinh23GbSMLo2qtBTB9PwDGngonXDLsNxrez58_UGLKpYexBWFYlnIFIo8_3EqO3oUdSGm/w640-h110/1.png" width="640" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Before you overthink the response, it is simply a starting point.

We expect the kids to leave our care and then start making a difference in the world so how do we start changemaking now?</p><p>Following the methods in this article you can start that process today in the classroom.</p><p>Here are a few BIG ideas I got from reading.</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>The <b><a href="https://sdgs.un.org/goals">UN Sustainable Development Goals</a></b>. These are all wicked problems with many solutions. This article will show you how to start breaking them down into smaller parts. This is key to any problem solving or design thinking, the problem must be dissected.</li><li>Writing the challenge question mad libs style is one of the best ways to rework the problem into common everyday language. If we can wrap our heads around it, there is a chance we can start investigating.</li><li>Step two talks about the user. This reminds me a lot of Design Thinking, using empathy to get in the head of the person you are designing for.</li><li>Best part of step three is how to turn the disengagement around.</li></ul><div>What stands out about the method this article suggest is how dismantling a problem you introduce problem solving and critical thinking about a real world problems we face. I feel when things are relevant and connected to the world, the learning takes a great leap forward.</div><div><br /></div><div>I like how this method is somewhat scripted to help you and the students through the process.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://www.edutopia.org/article/3-tips-creating-math-word-problems-boost-critical-thinking">3 Tips for Creating Math Word Problems That Boost Critical Thinking</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div>The author lists three steps, which are somewhat abstract, to creating real world problems. This pair nicely with the article above.</div><div><br /></div><div>I wish this article gave more examples but the three step thinking framework is worth reading then connecting to one of the other articles.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://www.edutopia.org/article/how-engage-students-historical-thinking-using-everyday-objects">How to Engage Students in Historical Thinking Using Everyday Objects</a></b></div><div>I like this right away, it lists four simple steps!</div><div><br /></div><div>I do think step one is a great example of how to break down a vocabulary word, linking to examples they can see and things they can pick up. I have read about teachers using 3D printers to print replicas of actual historical artifacts. Taking the abstract and turning it physical can help kids make a stronger connection.</div><div><br /></div><div>Step two links to a worksheet that will help the kids analyze what is, or isn't, an artifact by using simple criteria. I see the steps below as an interesting way to get kids to think critically during the identification process.</div><p></p><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Who used it? List reasons you think so.</li><li>What was it used for? List reasons you think so.</li><li>What does this tell you about the people who made and used it?</li><li>What does it tell you about technology at the time it was made?</li></ul><div>Similar to what the other articles mention, using these methods help boost engagement thought some simple problem solving techniques.</div></div><p><b><a href="https://www.edutopia.org/video/starting-critical-thinking-and-collaboration-early">Starting Critical Thinking and Collaboration Early</a></b></p><p>Early in the video they show a kindergarten class in centers. What stood out to me was the idea of giving feedback on an artifact, something the kids were creating.</p><p>They started with noticing and then moved to the creator who explains what they did. The students follow up with a wonder, questions they ask to the creator.</p><p>The final is a suggestion or an inspiring. I believe this gives the creator some ideas on how to grow or where to go next.</p><p>This process of real feedback and working in center is a great way to boost engagement and critical thinking. I liked this method for giving feedback, it give known steps for the kids to follow. If I know what is expected I will likely hit the mark.</p><p>My big takeaway is the four question process they used to talk about the work that is happening in the classroom.</p><p><b><a href="https://www.edutopia.org/article/deceptively-simple-strategy-promoting-critical-thinking">A Deceptively Simple Strategy for Promoting Critical Thinking</a></b></p><p>I like how simple this method is. If you can get kids to share and visually represent what they are thinking, more ideas are generally discovered.</p><p>While you could use something like Jamboard, the physical writing/drawing does something magical with the kids. They want to physically create without screens.</p><p>I liked how each group could represent the learning in their own unique ways. The conversation, gallery walk, after will most likely create new connections to the learning as the classmates explain their thinking.</p><p><u><b>Next Steps</b></u></p><p>What connections can you make with the ideas each article presented?</p><p>What is one way you could increase the engagement, critical thinking and problem solving in your classroom tomorrow?</p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055730406678534891.post-71803443464220412772022-09-21T19:05:00.003-05:002022-09-21T19:05:20.119-05:00Gaming the Classroom<p>Adding some game-like elements to the classroom can get a few more kids to lean into the learning.

Like many sites, Gimkit is freemium. The basics are free, if you want more you will need to purchase a license.</p><p>There are a number of reviews that say Gimkit is like a live game show. What I like is it takes the best features of Kahoot without the idea that faster is better. I am not a fan of games like that, it puts the false idea of those who answer fastest is the smartest, speed over thinking.</p><p>A kit is a set of questions. You build your own kit or use one of the ones already created by someone else.</p><p>Some modes, or games, are only limited to five players. For this situation you can form teams.</p><p>One great feature is this is web based, no app to download.</p><p>I added a Kit based upon economics and tried it out on my phone.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_-5px03ymmH2RKhtVm5GRUipvyOmCVtlngA3oX8HOii2Le1WBFRI2WysHPvjegwcYG6Td5gDiOrLNdM7X862zlAuYc-ElxwzjaRdBOvkgi8tHjHNcQKhin_0YcO0_4YyULtiWaAwN1xcXLsZaWskDrL20XMjK_6zySzrh_HMZHnZ_CVAriArUfOZ8/s3120/Screenshot_20220920-191058.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3120" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_-5px03ymmH2RKhtVm5GRUipvyOmCVtlngA3oX8HOii2Le1WBFRI2WysHPvjegwcYG6Td5gDiOrLNdM7X862zlAuYc-ElxwzjaRdBOvkgi8tHjHNcQKhin_0YcO0_4YyULtiWaAwN1xcXLsZaWskDrL20XMjK_6zySzrh_HMZHnZ_CVAriArUfOZ8/w185-h400/Screenshot_20220920-191058.png" width="185" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>an example of what the game looks like to a student</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Creating in Gimkit is very similar to many other sites.

Many kids read the slides and the slides are just full of words.</p><p>While this was OK years ago, it isn't anymore.</p><p>If we look at how the world is processing information, it is hyper visual. We need kids to be creating hyper visual presentations that are informative and beautiful to look at.</p><p>Take a look at the <b><a href="https://www.steelcase.com/research/articles/topics/workplace/designing-with-pods/">Designing with Pods</a></b> article. </p><p>I see four big ideas that are chunked into easily understood ideas.

I was pretty sure I would never install my own carpet and next year was so far away it might as well be a million years from now.</p><p>As a student learning math was the worst, I never was given a reason why.</p><p>Without a why I wasn't interested in learning it.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUERQkXdiEKti87YDr9Vq35RfHvfXM5BknWDV9eSnQaZM_-aSJ6jC1VR_MX28trs5PZlqKYZbxmP-ic2Z2Yj9PelV9EwHiwS3zbCgND43LK9-ImDuF5nGlDO1siId1ALQnuKpjeUTdV7jTTFohlu65ygzvS4WKo3qPXTCLE1ny5y2bZbshcoMaaUg1/s2000/1509841955800-245be553-5dd3-4675-a300-e215a7557089.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1182" data-original-width="2000" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUERQkXdiEKti87YDr9Vq35RfHvfXM5BknWDV9eSnQaZM_-aSJ6jC1VR_MX28trs5PZlqKYZbxmP-ic2Z2Yj9PelV9EwHiwS3zbCgND43LK9-ImDuF5nGlDO1siId1ALQnuKpjeUTdV7jTTFohlu65ygzvS4WKo3qPXTCLE1ny5y2bZbshcoMaaUg1/w400-h236/1509841955800-245be553-5dd3-4675-a300-e215a7557089.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Rothfus and Munoz on gun 2</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I was 19 when I was shown how math was used in the real world.

For whatever reason the teachers always pushed for perfect, which is impossible.</p><p>Look at any magazine, book or online site. Each one has mistakes and they usually have a team of editors! </p><p>What took me years to realize is perfect is impossible and the only way to improve is to write.</p><p>We started this blog in 2007 and I was super reluctant to add any content at first because I knew my writing wouldn't be perfect, that old heaviness from elementary school. What pushed me was my coworker Angie. She repeatedly told me ideas where too important to keep in our heads, we needed to get them out to share with the world.</p><p>I wish someone would have given that advice to me years ago. Ideas are too good to stay in our heads, they need to be shared.</p><p>I still make plenty of mistakes. I still misspell things but it does not stop me from writing and sharing.</p><p>This idea of sharing ideas with the world is easy to do with the kids.</p><p>Here are a few ways to help your kids write and share their ideas.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;"><u>Two Writing Teachers</u></span></b></p><p>This blog has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things writing. </p><p>My most favorite is the <b><a href="https://twowritingteachers.org/challenges/">Slice of Life</a></b>, a month long blogging challenge that happens in March. I highly recommend checking this out. There is a teacher challenge and a student challenge.</p><p>I would recommend doing the Slice of Life as a teacher, this helps build a little empathy at how difficult writing is.</p><p>I started participating a few years ago when Sarah convinced me to jump right in. It is hard to write for 30 consecutive days but that is what we require of students for roughly 180 days. If they can do it so can I!</p><p>To jumps start your thinking, check out the <b><a href="https://twowritingteachers.org/">Two Writing Teachers blog</a></b>.</p><p>While there is a ton of help and support starting in March I would recommend doing tiny challenges between now and then to build up the stamina. One easy way to jump start is by checking out the weekly <b><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/column/learning-whats-going-on-in-this-picture">What is going on in this picture?</a></b> from the New York Times. Using these images you can start the kids blogging.</p><p>For a few ideas to jump start, check out the <b><a href="https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/student-blogs/">Cult of Pedagogy's blog</a></b>.</p><p><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Blogging Platforms</span></u></b></p><p>There are a TON of platforms to blog on. Here are two recommendations.</p><p>1. <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/">Blogger</a></b> - This is the Google blogging platform. Super easy to use and all you need is your Google login. Check out the <b><a href="https://support.google.com/blogger/answer/1623800?hl=en">how-to</a></b> by Google. Here are a bunch of <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+use+blogger&sp=EgIIBQ%253D%253D">how-to blogger videos</a></b> created this year.</p><p>2. <b><a href="https://padlet.com/">Padlet </a></b>- Padlet is like a website with a bunch of sticky notes on it. You are somewhat limited to three padlets now but it is still super easy to use site for all kids. Check out the <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+use+padlet&sp=EgIIBQ%253D%253D">how-to videos</a></b> we found on youtube, these were created in the last year. </p><p>While this isn't blogging, we did use Padlet to help <b><a href="https://lindberghlinc.blogspot.com/2018/02/empowering-your-students-one-padlet.html">empower the classroom</a></b>. This idea is worth repeating. </p><p>A third option could be using something simple like Google Slides. One slide per idea/topic.
