Minecraft BreakoutEdu

The students are loving the topic of this breakout.  Although it really has nothing to do with Minecraft, they are fully engaged. They are using critical thinking to solve puzzles that answer a clue to a lock! Their technology skills have developed so much over the past few years! I love that they are collaborating, using Mac tools for research and reading pretty difficult text.

Kindergarten Collaboration-Clues in Literature

Kindergarten collaboration at its finest! We've been working on clues in literature that let us hone in on details!  In our collaboration she drew the monster and he wrote the clues for the rest of our class to guess their monster!!

Coding Excitement

Can you see what's happening here? Genuine excitement over learning! Learning coding is all about thinking skills! My passion!! #edtech #code

Technology Wizard!

My technology wizard system works perfect! Students who are "wizards" are only allowed to help with their words and a pointed finger without touching the computer. This guy is five and helping the other student by being a teacher without stealing learning.  I love it.  Give this guy a job! #futureeducator

High Expectations

Having high expectations is crucial in educational technology.  Expect capitals, periods and proper justification. When you teach them that this is the WAY to do it, you leave no room to fall into bad habits.  This is first grade assignment with split screen and research also.
