At many of the professional developments that I have attended, there has been a big push on the flipped classroom.   I could use video in my classroom to create this experience for my students.   I would assign one or two videos for them to watch at home, with guided notes.   They would then come back the next day, and we could talk about what they learned and then actually practice together. Blooms: -Students will compare and contrast mean, median, and mode -Students will identify when it is appropriate to use mean, median, and mode to represent different sets of data Creativity was definitely implemented in my video that I created.   It took a lot of time to figure out how I wanted to design each slide and make it appealing.   I think using this video to flip the classroom would be successful if I could guarantee that all my students had technology at home.   I teach in a low income school so I know that it would be a struggle for students who do not h...

IDEA: Students will conduct a survey on a topic they are interested in.   For example, “How many students prefer Coke over Pepsi?”   Students will create an Infographic to display their data.   Students will analyze their data to find the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation of their data and include this information in their Infographic. Blooms: -Students will analyze data and find the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation of their data. -Students will create an Infographic to display their data. Application: When I created my Infographic, I took into consideration many of the principles we learned about.   When I was creating step-by-step instruction on graphing, I made sure that I had both text and graphics presented together.   As read about in Spatial Contiguity Principle,   when graphics and text are presented nearby, it is easier for a learner to make connections.   In the video I selected, the Temporal Contiguity Princip...

I created a Padlet that will be used to differentiate review in my classroom.   For the first part of the lesson, students will visit the standards that they have not mastered.   This gives them the opportunity to focus on areas that need improvement.   In each of these standards, the website has sample problems that students can practice.   For the second part of this lesson, students will choose one standard they have mastered and add a link to where this standard could be applied to a real life situation.   These real-life situations will help students who are struggling make a connection and will give students who have already mastered this content to think deeper about the standard they have learned.   This will be a great opportunity for me to discuss copyright rules with the students and show them what is and isn’t allowed to be shared within the Padlet.   Bloom’s Objectives: -Students will upload real life examples from a website of thei...
