I’d like to start an anonymous conversation with 2+
questions
1.
What do you need from me (eg suggestions for
improvements, feedback, etc)
2.
What school, district or state policies inhibit
student learning and you from doing your job as effectively and efficiently as
possible?
3.
Anything else?
Obviously, this is totally anonymous and optional. I’ll keep
this survey open for the entire year. You can answer either or all at any
point.
Sometimes I’ll use Cougar Communication to explain a policy.
Sometimes, I might agree with you (eg “A-B day vs semester block scheduling”
but know there’s nothing I can do about it.)
Anyway, I hope it fosters some communication and helps me
become a better educator.

Ideas for the Classroom: Kahoot
Kahoot is a web-based
service for creating and sharing student quizzes, surveys or discussion to any
web-abled device. Much like Socrative, you create a quiz, survey or discussion
for your students. I experimented with Kahoot and found it intuitive and easy
to use. It’s easy to add pictures and videos and I like that you can control
the pace of the questions. I really like the ability to embed youtube videos,
so students can watch a video and then be quizzed on it. It also enables you to
embed only a portion of the video, so you can have students watch 2 minutes of
the video and then ask a question, watch the next 3 minutes and then ask
another question, etc.
Student sign in is
easy (either through the app or by going to kahoot.it). Students simply enter a
couple of unique digits and their names and they’re ready to go.
Great for:
· BYOD and technology integration
· Gamification
· Formative Assessment
· Feedback
· Quizzing
· Youtube video learning

Tomorrow is a flex day and student
