| Today's challenge: Create a beautiful dessert with the mystery ingredients. Looks delicious! |
Cooking, Tennis, Security. These are some of the activities and training we participated in today, the second day of new teacher PD. Of course, before doing all of that, we first worked on beginning of the year unit lesson plans and activities. I was so happy to learn a new tech tool-Camtesia-to help make my flipped and paperless classroom even more exciting and interesting for my students. I have used similar tools in the past but this one is like the Rolls Royce of record and capture tools.
This year I am going to tweak my student centered classroom, continue to be as green as possible (that would be 'environmentally friendly'), and try to empower my students even more. Recently I have heard from several different sources that even the small things, like having students choose their own seats, go a long way to empowering students. I have never thought of allowing students to choose their own seats. It just seemed counter-intuitive to a well-run classroom. Now that I think about it, there really is no reason not to. I can always change my mind later, or just keep tweaking. Now, on to day 3!
